Lyrics

GUILTY PLEASURE
(AL ROSE - WHEEL SEA MUSIC / ASCAP)


Stained just like a jelly roll and stolen like a kiss
The panorama doctor says to cut it with a knifer
The sky’s alive with time to kill
The lamps are lying low
And I’m finding guilty pleasure in my life

Chain the lock and taste the cheese and burrow down tonight
The miner 49’er says to light it with a light
Common sense and decency say lift it with your knees
But I’m finding guilty pleasure in my life

Chorus: Oh the sweet magnolia
I don’t know how to get you but I know just where you are
Bought my soul a Motorola
And I sank into my rocking chair until I rolled away

I complicated everything by turning up the heat
The elemental angel says to treat it like a feast
I barely had a chance to put the fork into the road
And I’m finding guilty pleasure in my life

I’m stuck inside my mobile home with the fenced in blues again
I’m dreaming of a river that can bring me to my knees
I used to think that everything was stronger than the wind
Now I’m finding guilty pleasure in my life

Chorus

Midnight in the desert with a vodka over ice
The central casting camel tells me everyone’s in style
You’ll know me when you see me
I’m the one that’s dressed in white
And I’m finding guilty pleasure in my life

The sacrificial animals are lounging in the yard
They savor every moment ‘til the sacrifice arrives
I take another bite of grass and roll it round my tongu
e I’m finding guilty pleasure in my life

Chorus
