Lirieke: Kashmir. The Good Life. Graceland.
:
I wish I lived in Graceland
But I only had one day
A postcard from the main land
is all I have today
Forty thousand million
and a Rolls Royce engine
couldn't take me anywhere
Yes, I tried with aspirin
and a nice calm weekend
but my heart has left me here
I wish I had that skin tan
that you are born into
They'd see me as a warm man
just like they're seeing you
Forty thousand million...
I drown in my drool
Over all the goodies that they get
I drown in a pool
In a pool of my own sweat
Forty thousand million...
