Queen of the Swirl

[Verse] Pearly May on the tracks dirty boots tattered coat In the city’s filthy cracks keep on chasing what they wrote Dreams wrestle like a beast nights are cold fires weak Hobo queen won’t retreat hears the whispers starts to speak [Verse 2] Blame it on the swirling dark shadows twist the urban maze Heart is strong body stark wander lost in life's cold gaze Bricks and mortar in her sight through the alleys rage and burn Voices rise late at night Pearly lives for the return [Chorus] One with the swirl now Pearly rise and twirl Dive down into the depths let the city unfurl Hobo queen in the spiral skies above it all Finding power in the chaos never again to fall [Verse 3] Struggle with the swirling tide thrown around every bend Fighting on her own hide won’t break won’t bend Cigarette flickers arc defiant spark in the gloom Pearly May in the dark faces secrets reckon doom [Bridge] And then the change comes twinned the flow the fight Swirl sings lovely hums darkness turned to light Queen of hobo night dancing swirling wild Hobo heart fares tight street’s tragic child [Chorus] One with the swirl now Pearly rise and twirl Dive down into the depths let the city unfurl Hobo queen in the spiral skies above it all Finding power in the chaos never again to fall
