Let's sneak song lyrics into everyday conversation :)

[gennypearl]

If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool

 

[Dirk1540]

But I thought that turning into someone else is part if your daily routine? Cause you're hot then you're cold, you’re yes then you're no, you’re in then you're out, you’re up then you're down, you’re wrong when it's right, and for you it’s both black and it's white.

 

[gennypearl]

Are you talking about equality? Either you're wrong or you're right. But, if you're thinkin' about my baby, it don't matter if you're black or white.

 

[Dirk1540]

Isn’t it hard to even tell sometimes? Because I can see Pearl, her brown skin shining in the sun, I see her walking real slow, smiling at everyone. And I can tell Pearl my love for her deep tan will still be strong, after the boys of summer have gone.

 

[gennypearl]

Who is this Pearl you always talk about? Is it Pearly Shell, from the ocean, shining in the sun, covering up the shore?

 

[Dirk1540]

Pearl literally shines? Tell me more! Give me a word, give me a sign, show me where to look, tell me what will I find. Oh!!! Pearl let your light shine down!

 

[gennypearl]

You'll find a treasure, because that's what Pearl is. She is your golden star.

 

[Dirk1540]

Has she always been a golden star? Since Prince was on Apollonia? Since O.J. had isotoners?

 

[gennypearl]

Doesn't she do a lot of things for you? Does she light up your senses like a night in the forest? Like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain?

 

[Dirk1540]

Yes she lights up my senses but the one time it was really freaking me out! Red rain was coming down, red rain, red rain was pouring down, pouring down all over me!!

 

[gennypearl]

Your eyes are just playing tricks on you after staring at the lady in red for so long. Didn't you dance with her, cheek to cheek?

 

[Dirk1540]

Actually the light wasn’t coming from her dress, there was a lightning storm when we danced. Thunder, feel the thunder. Lightning then the thunder. Thunder, feel the thunder. Lightning then the thunder. Thinder, thu thu thunder.

 

[gennypearl]

Were you riders on the storm, riders on the storm? Into this house you're born, into this world you're thrown like a dog without a bone.

 

[Dirk1540]

Yes that’s true but I’m not stuck here. You may strongly doubt this, but if you believe, they’d put Dirk on the moon, Dirk on the moon. If you believe, there’s nothing up Dirk’s sleeve, then nothing is cool.

 

[gennypearl]

Are you on the moon yet? You know it's just another night and I'm staring at the moon. I saw a shooting star and thought of you.

 

[Dirk1540]

Well unfortunately there was a problem and I got caught between the moon and New York City. I know you probably think it’s crazy, but it’s true.

 

[gennypearl]

Will you start spreading the news? I'm leaving today. I want to be a part of it. New York, New York. These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray right through the very heart of it.

 

[Dirk1540]

I can’t be a part of it because I moved. You see I'm New York City born and raised, but nowadays I'm lost between two shores. L.A.'s fine but it ain't home, New York's home, but it ain't mine no more. I’m Dirk I said!

 

[gennypearl]

Oh puhlease, stop fooling us. You're not Dirk! You're Puff, the magic dragon who lived by the sea. You frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee. Remember Little Jackie paper? He loved you rascal puff, you brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff oh.

 

[Cheryl6397]

When I go check my mailbox, I walk the line. Hoping along the way, I don't meet a boy named Sue. The hard part is avoiding the ring of fire. The man in black said hello to me, though. No check in the mail and it made me cry,cry,cry. So, on the way back home, I whistled the Folsom Prison blues.

Can you tell me if San Quentin is on the way to Amarillo? Ive been singing the blues lately co
