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
