The Prisoner of Paradise
Bring me down, drag me away from heavenBut look out, angels guard the doorWe all choose pain if pleasure is ordinaryThen we beg for more and more and more
Oh lock me up in an institution and throw away the keyThen I'm freeThe prisoner of paradise
Take me down, I've gone too high, so hurryHow can this be real?I paid for the ride and got wishes for eternityAnd here's one more, I wish that you would steal them
Tie me down and don't believe me if I say I'm freeIt's still meThe prisoner of paradise
Bring me down, if I could start all overWould I do the same?Oh I'd try for a while, then hunger for the recipeAnd all I'd hear is, "Isn't it a shame?"
Oh wrap me up in some chains and you can push me out to seaCover me up with the ocean then I'm freeThe prisoner of paradise
