You tell me
You're not sure
What to feel
How to act
And wonder if it changes
If we make a special pact
And you say
We're good together
And that we
Were meant to be
So turn the handle
Roll the die
Experiment on me
Whoa-oh, the Muslim girls
Seem so happy in their different world
Whoa-oh, it's not diamonds and pearls
They seem so happy in their different world
You take me
To the temple
And you feel
Some inner peace
And you give me words to cling to
I guess wonders never cease
Then you tell me
'Bout some guy
Who sends flutters
To your heart
But you intimate we'll get through this
And we will never part
Whoa-oh, the Buddhist girls
Acting happy in their different world
Whoa-oh, it's not diamonds and pearls
They seem so happy in their different world
The skeleton
Of Jesus Christ
Taut and tense
Beneath your skin
Pulling on your muscles
As small talk takes you in
Pheromones
And alcohol
Seep into
Your very soul
And you dig yourself in deeper
To a squalid little hole
Whoa-oh, the lost Christian girls
Think they've made it in a different world
Whoa-oh, with their diamonds and pearls
They seem so unhappy in their different world
Whoa-oh, the Muslim girls
Acting happy in their different world
Whoa-oh, it's not diamonds and pearls
They seem so happy in their different world
Whoa-oh, the Muslim girls
Acting happy in their different world
Whoa-oh, it's not diamonds and pearls
They seem so happy in their very different world
