Lyrics

[Verse 1] I survived the dinner Then the air went thinner I retire 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 around town [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] And all the L.A. women Fall asleep while swimmin' 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" [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] Tunnel vision lights my way Leave my little life today [Bridge] As a free fall advances, I'm the moron who dances Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah I was teething on roses, I was in guns and noses Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Under the withering white skies of humiliation Under the withering white skies of humiliation [Chorus] Tunnel vision lights my way Leave a little life today [Chorus] Tunnel vision lights my way Leave a little life today [Outro] 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
