lyrics
Tight buckled,
White knuckling through another day
In paradise
I pay to survive
I am on a roll
What luck!
(They forget it)
I don't need another reminder
I'm a get down guy
I toe the line
I maintain control
Day's been turning around but then it starts
Nipping at the edges of my consciousness and in my heart
Preys in every town, it's never far
Keeping vigil over my preoccupations like a bodyguard
Poor cuckold,
Still suckling on the bosom of
My LA life
I'm staying alive
But it's getting old
I'm stuck!
(Don't forget it)
Takes a little time to remember
I'm a paradigm
I stay inside
And I horde my gold
I'll dig myself another bunker baby
You'll never take me for a ride
Hidden in an ivory tower
Cowering at the shadows in my mind
White knuckling through another day
In paradise
I pay to survive
I am on a roll
What luck!
(They forget it)
I don't need another reminder
I'm a get down guy
I toe the line
I maintain control
Day's been turning around but then it starts
Nipping at the edges of my consciousness and in my heart
Preys in every town, it's never far
Keeping vigil over my preoccupations like a bodyguard
Poor cuckold,
Still suckling on the bosom of
My LA life
I'm staying alive
But it's getting old
I'm stuck!
(Don't forget it)
Takes a little time to remember
I'm a paradigm
I stay inside
And I horde my gold
I'll dig myself another bunker baby
You'll never take me for a ride
Hidden in an ivory tower
Cowering at the shadows in my mind
