Pretty people pretty cars Living in the lap of luxury But this precious fantasy Seems so close when it's so far from me Tell me where to get in line Show me how to change my luck this time People turn their backs on you On the streets in paradise When you're not the chosen few It's hot as hell and cold as ice Everyday's another fight Living on the streets in paradise Come on All that glitters isn't gold Promises and dreams can get so old I know what this game's about People chew you up and spit you out, yeah, yeah I need some kind of a sign Can't seem to get into this dream of mine People turn their backs on you On the streets in paradise When you're not the chosen few It's hot as hell and cold as ice Everyday's another fight Living on the streets in paradise There ain't no sacrifice That I won't make, I'll pay the price Oh no, I won't think twice Nothing comes cheap in paradise Tell me where to get in line I can't seem to get into this dream of mine People turn their backs on you On the streets in paradise When you're not the chosen few It's hot as hell and cold as ice Everyday's another fight Living on the streets in paradise People turn their backs on you When you're not the chosen few It's hot as hell and cold as ice Everyday's another fight Living on the streets in paradise Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (repeat to fade)
