See above. From the outset, I heard this as a trippy, psychedelic affair. Steppenwolf, meets Smashing Pumpkins meets Catherine Wheel meets Matthew Sweet.

Pearl
© 1997 by David Nyro
Verse 1: Here you come again; like some tell-tale heart trapped in my head.
I thought I cremated your laughing remains; that the part where you lived was dead.
Chorus: Inside my head, your rotten pearl has formed in my brain
like some scary lump that I can't explain . . .
a luminous clot, it's all that I've got, it's ready to send me exploding again.
Verse 2: Here I go again, like some Brownian motion in flames.
I'm just livin' in oblivion, I feel whiskers growing on my brain.
Chorus: Inside my head your rotten pearl has formed in my brain,
like some scary lump that I just can't drain.
A lumnous clot, it's all that I've got.
It's ready to send me exploding again.
Bridge: Your sweet fear crushed our eternal quest, some feel the need to destroy what's honest and pure, like death taking a child, I'm sorry that you died too...
Chorus: Inside my head your rotten pearl has formed in my brain like some scary lump that I can't explain; a luminous clot; it's all I've got; it's ready to send me exploding again . . .
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again . . .
