Humiliation 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

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"

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

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
