Pearls Before Swine (Demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He put it out
It meant nothin' in the world to him
So he put it out
His hunger needed some attention
So he laid it out
Swapped it all for a bowl of pork and beans
And he got put out
Left for poor by a man of means
Here we go

[Chorus 1]
Esau, you sold it
You gave it away
Esau, you sought it with tears
Couldn't get it back again

[Verse 2]
Well, she put it out
He put the heat on, she got too hot
So she put it out
Gives in a little, she's givin' him a lot
She lays it out
She's showing all her prized possessions to him
And she's puttin' out
Swappin' everything for what he's puttin' in
But the lamp goes out
She didn't notice the light was growin' dim
And so he goes out
And he takes everything that she had with him
Here we go

[Chorus 2]
Tamar, babe
Should have run away
Tamar, babe
You saw it comin', did you have to stay, stay and play?
Tamar, babe
Where was your head that day?
Tamar, he took your best and left
You left it too late
Oh, too late, too late
Too late, too late
Too late, too late
Too late, too late

[Bridge]
Here we come, now
To one, two, three, hey
Ashes for your veil
Ashes for your veil
Veil of ashes
Veil of ashes
Veil of ashes
Veil of ashes, babe
Veil of ashes
Veil of ashes
Veil of ashes
Veil of ashes
Veil of ashes
Veil of ashes
Veil of ashes, babe
Veil of ashes
Yeah, come on
Go, oh
Yeah
Yeah
Oh, oh
Oh, yeah

[Guitar Solo]
