Pearls

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 cheerlead 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
