all the great men have that steady look 
when their great wives have other great men on their minds 
i do recall this picture from the big book shades for the blind 

i see the hangman's still on the tv-show 
a handy little excuse when the pills don't work 
the thrill is high now but by then the speed is slow pearls for the swine 

is it ever going to need you? 
is it ever going to feed you? 
is it ever going to heal you? shades 

is it ever going to need you? 
is it ever going to feed you? 
is it ever going to heal you? pearls for the swine 

an old friend is having a ball in the wedding industry 
learned the job by hard divorce on a monday 
he said, "i do believe this is a great nation" 
pearls for the swine 

is it ever going to need you? 
is it ever going to feed you? 
is it ever going to heal you? shades 

is it ever going to need you? 
is it ever going to feed you? 
is it ever going to heal you? pearls for the swine 

and all of the people are living our lives all of the people are living our lives
