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
I had a strange dream. in my hair
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
