Lyrics

The sky is grey, the sand is grey, and the ocean is grey
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 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 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 got three simple things to say
Why me? why this now? why this way?
Overtone's 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 and still I want more
Maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore
