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
