"mother-of-pearl" lyrics

"mother-of-pearl"

Missed the period, so the rabbit's dead
And now you're changing plans up in your head
Expecting in that shithouse party flat
The girls next room, they snort till they collapse

Nausea, sick and fatigue
Running the early stages
I know you're tougher than most
Not feeling foeticide
Fly off, raise that child
Now daddy's out of prison
He can house and provide

The mother of a pearl, quitting as a working girl
But it's heavy duty, it's heavy duty
Eating for two, there's a pearl inside of you
It will be yours truly, be yours truly
Be yours truly
Be yours truly

He's looking better, now he's off the smack
We'll kill him if he leaves and don't come back
One way or another
No doubt you love each other
You'll be alright if he makes or breaks his vows
With or without

The mother of a pearl, quitting as a working girl
But it's heavy duty, it's heavy duty
Eating for two, there's a pearl inside of you
It will be yours truly, be yours truly
The way it goes, a healthy child it grows
To walk the earth on their own
But wherever it may be, no one can disagree
It will be yours truly, be yours truly
Be yours truly
Be yours truly

Oh Mary, Mary, Mary
You'll be a good mother
Oh Mary, Mary, Mary
Knocked up and hormonal
Oh Mary, Mary, Mary
We've been through Hell and back before
Oh Mary, Mary, Mary
Mary, Mary, Mary
Mary, Mary, Mary
