the sky is grey
the sand is grey
the ocean is grey
and i feel right at home
in this stunning monochrome
alone in my way
i smoke and i drink
and every time i blink
i have a tiny dream
but as bad as i am
i'm proud of the fact
that i'm worse than i seem
what kind of paradise am i looking for?
i've got everything i want and still i want more
maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore
you walk through my walls
like a ghost on tv
you penetrate me
my little pink heart
is on its little brown raft
floating out to sea
what can i say
but i'm wired this way
and you're wired to me
what can i do
but wallow in you
unintentionally
what kind of paradise am i looking for?
i've got everything i want and still i want more
maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore
regretfully
i guess i've got three
simple things to say
why me
why this now
why this way
with overtones ringing
and undertows
pulling away
under sky that is grey
on sand that is grey
by an ocean that's grey
