Intro:
|
I want to learn how to fly
|
I want to be respected
|
I want to get lucky
|
I want to get out of this dump
|
I just want to watch TV
|
I want to be loved
|
I want to be different
|
I want a brother and sister
|
I'd just rather be forgotten
|
I want to save the world
|
I want to be understood
|
I want to be rich
|
Man, I just want to be somebody
|
|
Julie's got the word today, she lost her job, just one last pay
|
Life don't come easy anymore
|
Still strugglin' on by herself, got a picture of Jimmy, there on the shelf
|
And she looks at him and says: Why did we let it go?
|
|
I know that sometimes baby, we didn't see things eye-to-eye
|
But I got just one question: Did we have to say goodbye?
|
|
Oh
|
|
Just like Prisoners in Paradise, still far from heaven's door
|
Yeah we had it all, but still we wanted more
|
Now I realize that I can't turn back, the future¡¯s here to stay
|
But hey:
|
We're just children of tomorrow, hangin' on to yesterday
|
|
Oh oh, oh yeah
|
|
Well, Jimmy still recalls the night, when he took his guitar and headed on out
|
To find the big time, yeah that was his dream
|
He gave up his past and made it alright, but there's something missin' in his heart tonight
|
Sometimes what you want, ain't what you need
|
No, no
|
|
He misses drivin' down to the lake at night, holdin' his baby in his arms so tight
|
Ain¡¯t it hard to find illusions, when you're livin' in a memory
|
|
Oh
|
|
Just like Prisoners in Paradise, so close but yet so far
|
There will come a time, no matter who you are
|
When you ask yourself: Was it right or wrong for me to turn away?
|
But hey:
|
We're just children of tomorrow, hangin' on to yesterday
|
|
Oh oh yeah
|
|
Prisoners in Paradise
|
Prisoners in Paradise
|
Yeah, yeah
|
|
We¡¯re just Prisoners In Paradise, still far from heaven's door
|
Yeah we had it all, but still we wanted more
|
We¡¯re just Prisoners In Paradise, so close but yet so far
|
There will come a time, no matter, no matter who you are
|
When you ask yourself: Was it right or wrong for me to turn away?
|
But hey:
|
We're just children of tomorrow, hangin' on to yesterday
