Select language to translate this lyric
A tenement, a dirty street
Walked and worn by shoeless feet
Inside it's long and so complete
Watched by a shivering sun
Old eyes in a small child's face
Watching as the shadows race
Through walls and cracks and leave no trace
And daylight's brightness shun
(Ahhh, ahhh)
The days of Pearly Spencer (Ahhh)
(Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh)
The race is almost run (Ahhh)
A nose pressed hard on frosted glass
Gazing at the swollen mass
On conrete fields where grows no grass
Stumbles blindly on
Iron trees smother the air
Withering, they stand and stare
Through eyes that neither know nor care
Where the grass has gone
(Ahhh, ahhh)
The days of Pearly Spencer (Ahhh)
(Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh)
The race is almost run (Ahhh)
Pearly, where's your milk white skin?
What's that stubble on your chin
Buried on the rot gut gin
You played and lost not won
You played a house that can't be beat
Now, look your head's bowed in defeat
You walked too far along the street
Where only rats can run
(Ahhh, ahhh)
The days of Pearly Spencer (Ahhh)
(Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh)
The race is almost run (Ahhh)
(Ahhh, ahhh)
The days of Pearly Spencer (Ahhh)
(Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh)
The race is almost run (Ahhh)
