lyrics

Bad is your habit
Not to give credit
As you march your way into the heart of the sun
The measures are metric
If you follow the rubric
How can you bend your conscience if you have none
You grab on the handle
You can’t hold a candle
By pinching the flame you will burn you hand
My acquaintance was passing
It should have been everlasting
More steady than a footprint left in the sand

You think that you bliss is out of reach
Lost off the shore of Newport Beach

Through the force of habit
My mind runs rampant
For thoughts on how to make amends
I wrack my brain
My energy is drained
On this you can always depend
You light up the candle
It’s too hot to handle
If I grab the wick my hands will be burned
Expedite the option
Consider the adoption
Of seeing what it is you’ve actually learned

You think that you bliss is out of reach
Lost off the shore of Newport Beach No.1

Bad is your habit
That you paint from a pallet
The only color that you seem to use is black
Did not find a reason
During any given season
Always looking for a chance to launch an attack
Fire up the candle
Then go on a ramble
If you burn both ends you will have nothing left
The fuel burnt
Leaving no further doubt
Your dark sunglasses put me in distress

You think that you bliss is out of reach
Lost off the shore of Newport Beach No. 1 baby
