[walbourn]

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 still I want more
maybe some tiny shiny thing 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 it's little brown raft floating out to sea
and what I can I say but I'm wired this way and you're wired to me
and what I can I do but wallow in you unintentionally

what kind of paradise am I looking for
I've got everything I want still I want more
maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore

and regretfully I guess I've got three simple thing to say
why me? why this now? why this way?

with overtones ringing undertow's 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 still I want more
maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore
