Humiliation |
| I survived the dinner, and the air went thinner |
| I retired to the briars, by the pool, it gets so loud |
| If I die this instant, taken from the distance |
| They will probably list it down among other things 'round town |
| Got my rings around me, I got baby to pound me |
| I see stars and go weak, my baby cries and lays me down |
| In the skies over black Venice, I see eyes of a white menace |
| The surprise of the week is that I never heard the sound |
| And all the L.A. women fall asleep while swimming |
| I got paid to fish 'em out and then, one day, I lost the job |
| And I cried a little, I got fried a little |
| Then she laid her eyes on mine |
| And she said, «Babe, you’re better off» |
| I got my rings around me, I got baby to pound me |
| I see stars and go weak, my baby cries and lays me down |
| In the skies over black Venice, I see eyes of a white menace |
| The surprise of the week is that I never heard the sound |
| Tunnel vision lights my way |
| Leave a little life today |
| As a free fall advances, I’m the moron who dances |
| Ahh |
| I was teething on roses, I was in guns and noses |
| Ahh |
| Under the withering white skies of humiliation |
| Under the withering white skies of humiliation |
| Tunnel vision lights my way |
| Leave a little life today |
| Tunnel vision lights my way |
| Leave a little life today |
| She wore blue velvet |
| Said she can’t help it |
| She wore blue velvet |
| Said she can’t help it |
| She wore blue velvet |
| Said she can’t help it |
