The sky is grey
the sand is grey
and 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
And my little pink heart
is on its little brown raft
floating out to sea
And what can i say
but i'm wired this way
and you're wired to me
And 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 only got three
simple things to say:
why me?
why this now?
why this way?
with overtones ringing
and undertows pulling away
under a sky that is grey
on sand that is grey
by an ocean that's grey
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
