Spill the Wine
I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I laid there in the sun and I felt it caressing my face
As I fell asleep, I dreamed that I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind
But there I was
I was taken to the place
The hall of the mountain kings
I stood high upon the mountain tops
Naked to the world
In front of me
Was every kind of girl
There was long one's, tall ones, short ones, brown ones,
Black ones, round ones, big crazy ones
Out of the middle, came a lady
She whispered in my ear
Something crazy
She said,
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
I thought to myself, what could that mean
Am I going crazy, or is this just a dream
Now wait a minute
I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere
So it's all in my head
And then I heard
somebody say
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
And she disappeared, but soon she returned
In her hand was a bottle of wine
In the other a glass
She poured some of that wine from the bottle into the glass
And she raised it to her lips
And just before she drank it, she said
Spill that wine, take that pearl
Spill that wine, take that pearl
Spill that wine, take that pearl
Spill that wine, take that pearl
Take that pearl, yeah!
Spill, spill, spill that wine, come on and take that pearl
c'mon Spill that wine, c'mon and take that pearl
Spill that wine, take that pearl
Spill that wine, take that pearl
Spill that wine, take that pearl
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I laid there in the sun and I felt it caressing my face
As I fell asleep, I dreamed that I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind
But there I was
I was taken to the place
The hall of the mountain kings
I stood high upon the mountain tops
Naked to the world
In front of me

Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl

c'mon Spill that wine, c'mon and take that pearl
Spill that wine, take that pearl
Spill that wine, take that pearl
Spill that wine, take that pearl
