Verse 1:
                                                  
  The sky is grey, the sand is grey, and the ocean is grey. 
                                                          
  I feel right at home in this stunning monochrome, alone in my way. 
                                                          
  I smoke and I drink and every time I blink I have a tiny dream. 
                                                         
  But as bad as I am I'm proud of the fact that I'm worse than I seem. 


Chorus: 
                               
What kind of paradise am I looking for? 
                                        
I've got everything I want and still I want more. 
                                           
Maybe some tiny shiny thing will wash up on the shore. 


Verse 2:
                                                        
  You walk through my walls like a ghost on TV You penetrate me.
                                                                
  And my little pink heart is on its little brown raft floating out to sea. 
                                                                 
  And what can I say but I'm wired this way and you're wired to me
                                               
  And what can I do but wallow in you unintentionally? 


Chorus:
                                  
What kind of paradise am I looking for?
                                        
I've got everything I want and still I want more. 
                                            
Maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore. 


Verse 3:
                                                    
  Regretfully, I guess I've got three simple things to say. 
                              
  Why me? Why this now? Why this way? 
                                     
  Overtone's ringing, undertow's pulling away.
                                                                
  Under a sky that is grey, on sand that is grey, by an ocean that's grey. 


Chorus:
                                 
What kind of paradise am I looking for? 
                                         
I've got everything I want and still I want more. 
                                           
Maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore.
