How'd you get your teeth so pearly?
Dew drop dentures
White washed faces
She runs from the third world, pearly
Vanilla (feel it closing in)
Milkshakes (calling back again)
From Hard Rock (whatever you say)
Cafes (make it go away)
That's where (I feel it closing in)
She got her (climbing back again)
Sweet tooth (make it go away)
For white boys (whatever you say)
Darling, use me
Found on: Paranoid Android CD1 & Airbag/How Am I Driving? EP. Alternate version found on No Surprises/Running from Demons EP.
The obscure lyrics of this song deserve pondering. The version available on the Paranoid Android CD1 and the US Airbag EP is considered the original, and the remix is available on the No Surprises/Running From Demons EP. The latter has clearer production values and a slightly louder guitar at the beginning; Jonny plays a different ending on the guitar. Both versions open with both Phil and Ed on drums. "Pearly*" made it onto the band's live set on the latter half of the OK Computer tour.
The lyrics to "Pearly*" to this day remain a mystery and a huge controversy in the Radiohead community. Ask any fan and they'll give a different version.
