Paradise

歌詞

They cut all the shifts right before the summer Then the bastards forced me on to swing I'm parking some white sedan While the owner tries his hand rolling dice It's just another day in Paradise I don't pull 'em 'round as quickly as I used to This chasing flashy cars is a young man's game If I don't keep up the pace somebody's son will take my place in the picture frame And Paradise will go on just the same So it's just another day in Paradise Another raindrop in the sea Count the hours to quitting time Trying to cross the silver line that always leans Just beyond the shadows of my dreams I cared for my old man right until the bell rang He never really cared for me He left us for another life And when he called he always made it sound so nice Sounded like it might be Paradise I've done the things that drove a man into the bottle I lost the angel on my shoulder at twelve years old I ain't no choir boy But when the sun comes up tomorrow I'll be singing a tale well told Since the dawn of silver and gold It's just another day in Paradise Another raindrop in the sea Count the hours to quitting time Trying to cross the silver line That always leans just beyond my dreams It's just another day in Paradise Another diehard on the team Count the hours till quitting time Trying to cross the silver line Oh how it gleams It always leans just beyond the shadows of my dreams
