Graham Parker & The Shot - Locked Into Green lyrics

I find I fall into each night what pa**es 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 oclock smoking 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 And 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 nothing they could mean Because I'm locked into green Oh I'm locked into green I'm locked into green, I'm locked into green I'm locked into green
