John Squire - Pearl Bastard lyrics

I gave my pearl away this week Now I'm freezing with this company Can't find my friends Where can they be? The lights lit up a thousand homes The neon signs were blinking out But no one heard me as I fight I couldn't see, sand in my eyes The noise I made drowned out the tide But no one came I was all alone The shadows crept along the beach And now the buoy was out of reach My lungs filled up with salt and screams All alone on my own Dark and cold wanting warmth Fighting waves, that kept me from the shore I climbed and fell and tried again I slipped and tripped and fell back in As thunder claps came across the sky My screams were drowned out, so were I So true love Let me die, Jesus, Jesus, let me die Drop the sky, let me die This is the end, my end This is the end, this is the end
