I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen And she could drink more wine than I'd ever seen She had some gypsies blood flowing through her feet And when the time was right she said that I would meet my destiny
I traveled round the world to find the sun I couldn't stop myself from having fun And then one day I met an Indian girl And she made me forget this troubled world we're living in, yeah
I had a strange dream in my head I saw a pearly queen lying there
And all around her feet flowers bloomed But they were made of silk and sequins two by two
