Stranglers - Paradise lyrics

rate me

I went in search of paradise

They said it would be good for my head

So I went in search of paradise

But she took me by the head instead

Paris - London

Glamour and despair

Ruins - We were ruined over there

Ruins - We ruined over there-er-er.

And when you think you're in paradise

But then you find your arms are tied

Caprive in the name of paradise

The chains are all her lies

Paris - London

Glamour and despair

Ruins - We were ruined over there

Ruins - We ruined over there-er-er.

The picture on the screen is moving still

It's moving all the time

If only you could freeze frame a moment there

You could have paradise all the time

Paris - London

Glamour and despair

Ruins - We were ruined over there

Ruins - We ruined over there-er-er.

I don't think anyone ever found paradise

'Cos paradise is based on lies
