Had a dream set in a Caribbean chateau A nostalgic haze Every friend I've ever known But there's a guilt gnawing at the back of my mind Hey, sister I gotta get myself in line
Woke up with a shiver like everybody had died Strewn across the globe like ashes taken by the tide From the Garden of Eden to the fall of man Hey, brother I'll never ever understand
No one-way ticket to a Shangri-La Just some cash on a counter at the one coin bar Wino Roll Wino Roll
Carpathian suckers running round in my head Now my heart is hard while their lips are red I'm in paradise and I feel like a wreck Hey, sister I gotta get myself in check
'Cos I was born boxed in In a vapid tableau And I cannot reap what I have never sown Wino Roll Wino Roll
