Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
|
Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
|
|
I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
|
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
|
in a big field of tall grass
|
I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face
|
|
And I fell asleep and dreamed
|
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
|
And that I was the star of the movie
|
This really blew my mind, the fact that me,
|
an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome
|
should be the star of a Hollywood movie
|
|
But there I was, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings
|
I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world
|
In front of every kind of girl, there was
|
black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones...
|
|
Out of the middle came a lady
|
She whispered in my ear something crazy
|
She said:
|
|
Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
|
Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
|
|
(spoken:)
|
|
I thought to myself what could that mean
|
Am I going crazy or is this just a dream
|
Now, wait a minute
|
I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere
|
so it's all in my head
|
and then.. I heard her say one more time:
|
|
(sung:)
|
|
Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
|
Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
|
|
(spoken:)
|
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
|
As she disappeared, but soon she returned
|
In her hand was a bottle of wine, in the other, a glass
|
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
|
And raised it to her lips
|
And just before she drank it, she said:
|
|
(sung:)
|
Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
|
Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
|
