There's no time to explain I'm leaving on the last train And heading out in grand style Thinking I might be awhile I'm looking out for the pearl The one who'll come to rule the world She's nineteen in blue jeans Don't even know what love may mean She's trying hard to get stoned Her mind is coming undone I'm looking out for the pearl The one who'll come to rule the world I'm looking out for the pearl Do tell how it all ends Where the road forks and where the road bends So heartsick I can hardly speak This road will be the death of me I'm looking out for the pearl The one who'll come to rule the world I'm looking out for the pearl Try to keep real calm, try not to shake my drinking arm Try to keep real calm, try not to shake my drinking arm Try to keep real calm, try not to shake my drinking arm Try to keep real calm, try not to shake my drinking arm Try to keep real calm, try not to shake my drinking arm Try to keep real calm, try not to shake my drinking arm Try to keep real calm, try not to shake my drinking arm Try to keep real calm
