Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Paper Blood lyrics

rate me

(keith emerson/greg lake/carl palmer)<br /> <br /> Livin' on a razor's edge<br /> Sharper than a knife<br /> Surrender to the power of wedge<br /> Keep running for your life<br /> You don't need no periscope<br /> You won't need second sight<br /> It'll come at you so fast my friend<br /> It's thank you and goodnight<br /> <br /> Chorus<br /> Caught in the river<br /> You can't stop the flood<br /> That's the power of money, paper blood<br /> <br /> Ambition flies on silver wings<br /> Searching for a crown<br /> King of kings, they pull the strings<br /> Until they run you down<br /> No matter what you've undergone<br /> The measure of success<br /> Is how much you can charge it on<br /> American express<br /> <br /> Chorus<br /> <br /> You don't need to drive a car<br /> And you don't need a house<br /> And you don't need a guiding star<br /> When living like a mouse<br /> In the presidenttial suite<br /> They'd rather see you burn<br /> Ducking and diving just to make ends meet<br /> To the point of no return<br /><br />
