Pearly Queen

(album: Headkeeper - 1972)

I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen
And she could drink more wine
Than I'd ever seen
She had some gypsies' blood flowing through her feet
And when the time was right
She said that I would meet my destiny

I traveled round the world to find the sun
I couldn't stop myself from having fun
Then one day I met an Indian girl
And she made me forget this troubled world we're living in

I traveled round the world to find the sun
I couldn't stop myself from having fun
Then one day I met an Indian girl
And she made me forget this troubled world we're living in

I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen
And she could drink more wine
Than I'd ever seen
She had some gypsies' blood flowing through her feet
And when the time was right
She said that I would meet my destiny
