Urgent: So this is paradise [lyrics]

Urgent: So this is paradise [lyrics]

Urgent

So this is paradise

I hitched a ride to the wild side

See what I could see

Somethin' drags me to the fairground

It's like a woman to me

Old man sleepin' on the sidewalk

Bottle by his side

Everybody's out for number one

Someplace to hide

I've been told

The streets are paved with gold

So this is paradise

So this is paradise

So this is paradise

I called my mother on the phone today

Gave her phony news

This town is crazy, I'm wastin' away

Wish I could tell her the truth

The landlord's breakin' down my window

Tell him I ain't home

There's just a body and a bottle of wine

With no place to go

All those dreams

Ain't what they seem

So this is paradise

They think it's so nice

Yeah, so this is paradise

That's nice

There's a place they call the wild side

A long way from home

There's a bridge if you can find it

You gotta walk it alone

I've been told

The streets are paved with gold

So this is paradise

So this is paradise

So this is paradise

So this is paradise
