Madame de la Perle

I was born inside an oyster
Naked and defenseless
Then some man came to touch me
Judge me, and violate me senseless
And now I'm trapped inside this desk drawer
I'm not like other pearls
Can someone put me on a necklace
And take me around the world

Tahitian pearl
Tahitian pearl
Tahitian pearl
Tahitian pearl

I'm the rarest form of beauty
My nacre is perfection
When you wear me on your body
You'll love your own reflection
It takes time to form such treasure
I tolerate no haste
Pinctada margaritifera
Such luxury and taste

Tahitian pearl
Tahitian pearl
Tahitian pearl
Tahitian pearl

According to Tahitian legend
I was a gift from Oro
The war god gave me to Te ufi
While riding on a rainbow
If I have such divine beginnings
Why do I feel so lost
I know it's time to seize my future
No matter what the cost

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Ahhh

I have waited for so long now
Time to get in motion
Affix me to a pendant or
Toss me back into the ocean
I know that I am peerless
Fearless, my time is coming soon
And if you don't believe me then
Get the hell out my lagoon

Tahitian pearl
Tahitian pearl
Tahitian pearl
Tahitian pearl
