They Say A Watched Pot Won't Ever Boil

Today a kid pulled a fire alarm at work and we had to evacuate a show. Fun times.

When I was a sophomore or junior in high school we had morning announcements on TV which I was of course, a part of. So was my friend Cindy. Cindy found this song and played it over the opening for a few months. Usually we would change the opening song every week or so but this one stuck. Some people loved it others dispised it but it fit really well with our opening footage so it stayed. I love it. Cindy totally knows music, you can hear her talk about it when she DJs for WBOS.

-The Pearl, Fleming and John-

Oh look Ive found it,
Oh Ive really found it,
How could such a thing be happening to me?
Oh please dont drop it,
Id die if you lost it,
You see it means the world to me.

Now everything we ever wanted,
Lies within our reach.
Patiently anticipating,
The world lies at our feet.

It could be the pearl,
It could be our hope, our dream, our life
It could be the pearl,
The end of all our pain and strife could be the pearl

Run, keep on running,
Oh I hear them coming,
How could they try to take what is ours?
Please run faster,
Oh theyre right behind us,
How much farther can we go?

It possesses me, controls me,
It makes me run, it makes me kill.
The very thing that made me strong,
Has taken all my will.

It could be the pearl,
Tt could be our hope, our dream, our life.
Tt could be the pearl,
The end of all our pain and strife could be the pearl.

I must take it, throw it in the ocean,
Far, far away from me,
We were happy, oh we were so happy,
When things were the way they used to be.

It could be the pearl,
It could be our hope, our dream, our life.
It could be the pearl,
The end of all our pain and strife could be the pearl.
