Lyrics Locked into Green - Graham Parker

Locked into Green

G dm em c I find i fall into each night what passes for a dream
G dm em c But all i see are pinks and blacks and i don’t know what they mean
Cm gm bm e My opponent’s got the edge but his face just can’t be seen
E c d g c g And i…'m locked into green
I been up since 8 oclock smoking endless cigarettes
And i’ll be at the table as the bookies take their bets
A shot of drink to steady nerves and i’ll wipe that table clean
And i…'m locked into green
C g Reds and blues, yellows, greens and browns
C d If i keep my eye in i will put them down
Cm gm bm e There’s other ways of life out there but there’s nothing they could mean
E c d g f e Because i…'m locked into green
E c d g c g Oh i…'m locked into green
G g c g g g c g
I’m locked into green, i’m locked into green
G g
I’m locked into green /pre>
