Paradise
She’s leanin’ on her beamer
Talkin’ to a schemer
Used to be a dreamer
But that was lines ago
She clears her mind
And starts to speak
Says “you know three times a week
I wear these clothes and play the freak
My baby loves it so.”
(chorus)
She looks him in the eyes
And much to his surprise
She doesn’t start to cry
She calls this Paradise
He looks straight through her heart
And says don’t even start
You’ll pull my dreams apart
This is my Paradise
The tired doctor makes the rounds
Haunted by his children’s sounds
He’s lookin’ for the proper grounds
To make a clean break
He’s leafing through his empty life
Can’t seduce his frozen wife
So he contemplates the knife
A way to raise the stakes
(chorus)
The lawyer throws away his brief
Swallows up his slice of grief
Time is such a fucking thief
Is this all that I do?
His lover lives on Tegretol
Chased with smack and alchohol
Everywhere you look
A wall is closing in on you.
(chorus)
