Hangin about in the sun
|
With prozac Annie and the schizo alcoholics
|
The sharp edged shadows
|
And these mad electronics
|
The barbeque's burning
|
With the moon-ray sensations
|
I'm lying on my back
|
And watching cloud formations
|
Trying to see the beauty
|
Minus the black inside
|
She told me people came here
|
To get drunk before they died
|
Too many problems
|
And not enough solutions
|
Ms. Monroe is in the bathroom
|
Taking care of her ablutions
|
Hiding myself behind illusions
|
Stand back and watch the evolution
|
Of the secondhand lives your using
|
So many fucked up souls
|
In this locality
|
I need the choice of some
|
Relative banality
|
The raw twistings of your mind spewing forth
|
As you stare at me
|
Is fucking scaring me
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Paradise lost and paradise found
|
I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground
|
Paradise lost and paradise found
|
And I'm just trying to get lost in my sound
|
Paradise lost and paradise found
|
I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground
|
I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground
|
|
Storms rage across
|
Metallic skies
|
Reflecting in the multi faceted eyes
|
Of lazy buzzing flies
|
The heavens collide
|
In primeval cacophonies
|
I contemplate my demise
|
And hope the gods are appeased
|
A long distance love affair that's alive
|
But barely breathing
|
A thousand times I thought about leaving
|
Giving all this up
|
And put myself at your mercy
|
But still scared to death
|
About the fact you might hurt me
|
Instead I came here
|
And became an agony uncle
|
And now I'm saddled with this
|
Freaky carbuncle
|
Who's stalking me forcefully
|
And I'm begging her
|
Please let me go about my business peacefully
|
Let my days flow seamlessly
|
Cos since you've been around
|
Everything's got so messy
|
You stress me
|
God bless me and test me
|
Daily
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Well it's the original tales of the unexpected
|
You thought I couldn't do it
|
Now stand corrected
|
Cos I'm connected
|
To every nerve ending
|
Cerebral cortex messages
|
I'm sending
|
There's two sides to every story
|
Black and white
|
The day and night
|
Wrong and right
|
And the paradise lost and found
|
All inside this sound
|
|
[CHORUS x2]
|
|

Paradise (Lost & Found)
