[00:14.52]A tenement a dirty street
[00:17.24]Walked and worn by shoeless feet
[00:19.20]Inside it's long and so complete
[00:21.55]Watched by a shivering sun
[00:25.42]Old eyes in a small child's face
[00:28.02]Watching as the shadows race
[00:30.03]Through walls and cracks and leave no trace
[00:32.43]And daylight's brightness shuns
[00:39.49]The days of Pearly Spencer ah ah ah
[00:49.22]The race is almost run
[00:55.27]Nose pressed hard on frosted glass
[00:57.97]Gazing as the swollen mass
[01:00.18]On concrete fields where grows no grass
[01:02.57]Stumbles blindly on
[01:06.19]Iron trees smother the air
[01:08.81]But withering they stand and stare
[01:10.56]Through eyes that neither know nor care
[01:13.61]Where the grass is gone
[01:20.23]The days of Pearly Spencer ah ah ah
[01:29.83]The race is almost run
[01:36.01]Pearly where's your milk white skin
[01:38.46]What's that stubble on your chin
[01:40.65]It's buried in the rot gut gin
[01:43.05]You played and lost not won
[01:46.58]You played a house that can't be beat
[01:49.41]Now look your head's bowed in defeat
[01:51.49]You walked too far along the street
[01:53.88]Where only rats can run
[02:00.87]The days of Pearly Spencer ah ah ah ah ah
[02:10.63]The race is almost run
[02:17.84]Ah ah ah ah ah the days of Pearly Spencer
[02:29.93]The race is almost run
[02:44.67]Ah ah
[02:55.11]Ah ah ah ah ah the days of Pearly Spencer
[03:04.47]Ah ah
