J. J. Cale - Artificial Paradise lyrics

rate me

Many loves in a lifetimethey seem to go astray

Many people come and gothey never seem to stay

Sometimes I kid myselfthen I realise

I'm just living in an artificial paradise

A hundred timesmy hopes and dreams are blown into the air

A thousand timesit always seems no one is really there

Then I know I'm fooling myselfI'm not so wise

I'm just living in an artificial paradise

Plastic state of mindsuperficial clothes

Living in a vacuumclose to zero

Sometimes I kid myselfthen I realise

I'm just living in an artificial paradise
