Locked Into Green - Graham Parker

Locked Into Green Lyrics

I find I fall into each night
What passes for a dream
But all I see are pinks and blacks
And I don't know what they meanMy opponent's got the edge
But his face just can't be seen
And I'm locked into greenI been up since 8 o'clock
Smokin' endless cigarettes
And I'll be at the table
As the bookies take their betsA shot of drink to steady nerves
And I'll wipe that table clean
'Cos I'm locked into greenReds and blues
Yellows, greens and browns
If I keep my eye in
I will put them downThere's other ways of life out there
But there's nothin' they could mean
'Cos I'm locked into greenI'm locked into green
I'm locked into green
I'm locked into green

I'm locked into green
