Lyrics

Pearl

[Verse 1]

Little Pearl, she was this girl

Her thoughts and notions in a whirl

Good old Pearl, she was pretty quick

Found her stick and filled it thick with

[Chorus]

Black sugar, shit

[Verse 2]

Wore black glasses, spoonful molasses

Drinking wine, killing time

Burn it black with a candle, all bent at the handle

Devil spit makes her sick

[Chorus]

Black sugar, shit

[Verse 3]

She had a name, her name's Insane

Little maid picks away at her brain

Much disdain, her brain remained

Think thoughts, I'll ax and maim and

[Chorus]

Black sugar, shit

[Bridge]

Huh?

Right?

Huh?

Black sugar

Right?

Wine

I live inside

[Verse 4]

Off with their heads 'cause I'm staying in bed

Sick of that blackbird that shits in my head

[Chorus]

Black sugar, shit

Well, shit
