Lyrics

Verse 1: I flew here for a bargain souvenir at the markets and Baskets and artwork, extra stamps in my passport I've worked hard in my office and read all the brochures These beaches aren't like they are in the posters Shower me in roses (?) Be on the walls of the resort I hear gunshots, screams and calls It ain't relaxing at all I don't wanna see this, hear this, smell this, street kids, beggars diseases I wanna do as I please Cocktails, desk chairs, tropical breeze (Hook) Exercise a high degree of caution in the streets Watch your back Don't get lost in a paradise Best beware of where you place your feet Please come back to our mirage of a paradise We advise you stay indoors, 'cos when night falls In our darkened paradise Every dream has a prize (Verse 2): You come and go like the tides You'll never know my mind Unless you spend the time to meet these friends of mine In this new best place to spend your time They're the ones who never smile But when I told you all the trials of being me (?) You just looked away and checked the scenery And what was meant to be a problem Is all too easily forgotten And it's so hard to get to the bottom of this conundrum Please come on in, I left flowers on your pillow to make you feel young again Please come on in, be my guest In my uniform all starched, depressed To impress our visitors, well, everyone will give their all Because there's a vast difference between sleeping on a bed and on the floor And as long as you have a ball And you tell your friends to stay with us There's an extra dollar in it for me if you make our paradise famous (Hook) Exercise a high degree of caution in the streets Watch your back Don't get lost in a paradise Best beware of where you place your feet Please come back to our mirage of a paradise We advise you stay indoors, 'cos when night falls In our darkened paradise Every dream has a prize
