So This Is Paradise

Lyrics

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
