Pearls
Antje Duvekot

Was born and raised in the south

In Suicide Town, I was only fifteen

When it burned to the ground

I tore up all my memories

By the side of the road

With a tip of a needle

I carved my story in stone


When you gonna come for me, Lord?

When you gonna come for me?

Cause I've been expecting you forever

Waiting here for you

Will you send a little grace?

It's the least that you could do

It's the least that you could do


I was not much of a poet

Guess, I was missing the anguish

Not a very good lover

Could never capture the language

I was an adequate painter

But it just left me tired

Did a stint as a hit man

In those days at least I was inspired


Oh, but when you gonna come for me, Lord?

When you gonna come for me?

Cause I've been expecting you forever

Waiting here for you

Will you send a little grace?

It's the least that you could do

It's the least that you could do


I hooked up a hick down in the church

I took a walk down Big Dream Boulevard

With all the sand that gets into this world

We should all be motherfucking pearls


When you gonna come for me, Lord?

When you gonna come for me?

Cause I've been expecting you forever

Waiting here for you

Will you send a little grace?

It's the least that you could do

It's the least that you could do


I'm never gonna be one of God's favorites

Never gonna cheer lead with the angels

Tried to find a church that I could walk in

They tried to nail me on original sin


Oh, when you gonna come for me, Lord?

When you gonna come for me?

I've been expecting you forever

Waiting here for you

Will you send a little grace?

It's the least that you could do


Been expecting you forever

Waiting here for you

Will you send a little grace?

It's the least that you could do

It's the least that you could do

The least that you could do
