I'm not looking for Eldorado I just want this red-haired girl I know i ain't, no - Peter the great But that's not bad for a fallen saint We all throw our pearls to swine sometimes We all throw our pearls on swine - Some of the time You want to make me a permanent shadow You're about as subtle as a tank I'm a dog, covered in grease, Lickin' up spit And all i can think to say is thanks We all throw our pearls to swine sometimes We all throw our pearls on swine - Some of the time You always think that you've got somethin' to say Maybe if you did, that'd be all right Laugh it off, try to make it okay Try to make it through tonight And i'd do anything To set you under me, yeah . . .
