Locked Into Green Songtext
von Graham Parker & The Shot

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 mean

My opponent's got the edge
But his face just can′t be seen
And I'm locked into green

I been up since 8 o'clock
Smokin′ endless cigarettes
And I′ll be at the table
As the bookies take their bets


A shot of drink to steady nerves
And I'll wipe that table clean
′Cos I'm locked into green

Reds and blues
Yellows, greens and browns
If I keep my eye in
I will put them down

There′s other ways of life out there
But there's nothin′ they could mean
'Cos I'm locked into green

I′m locked into green
I′m locked into green
I'm locked into green
I′m locked into green
