All of your pearls
Are slipping off the string
Too quick for capturing
Now clicking on marble tiles
All of your curls
Suddenly unwind
Springs straightened into tines
Now striding out single-file
Framing stone faces
Tangled hair and lace
Awkward embraces
Dancing to car alarms
So no time to waste
Grab your suitcases
Won’t you fall to grace
Into my waiting arms
Full up you roots and follow me towards the city lights
Let’s stuff up our suits-it’ll drive them crazy
Let’s go of our dreams, they’re not what they seem
Our first pursuit is to be lazy
So let’s stop pretending
That pride is not depending
On conceits and pretensions
Hubris and vanity
Lower your flag
Snatch up your bags
From richеs to rags
From prestige to penury
