War - Spill the Wine Lyrics
I was once out strolling
One very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay
Myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I lay there in the sun and
Felt it caressing my face
As I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind
The fact that me, an overfed
Long-haired leaping gnome should
Be the star of a Hollywood movie
But there I was
I was taken to a place
The hall of the mountain king
I stood high upon a mountaintop
Naked to the world
In front of every kind of girl
There was long ones, tall ones
Short ones, brown ones
Black ones, round ones
Big ones, crazy ones
Out of the middle came a lady
She whispered in my ear
Something crazy
She said
Chorus
Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl
I could feel hot flames
Of fire roaring at my back
As she disappeared
But soon she returned
In her hand was a bottle of wine
In the other, a glass
She poured some of the wine
From the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips and
Just before she drank it, she said
Chorus
Take that pearl, yeah
It's all yours
You gotta do it
Spill that wine
Spill that wine
Spill the wine, spill the wine
Spill the wine, spill the wine
Take that pearl
