Paradise On Earth

[00:13.13] Walking on these alleys,
[00:16.18] these scenes of rise and fall
[00:19.65] Haunted by the spirits of my past
[00:25.95] And how could I not be mislead and reckon that this town
[00:32.57] used to be a paradise on earth
[00:39.32] I hold my head up to the sky
[00:45.81] I hide away just to get by, my love
[00:53.11] And I know what lies ahead, my love
[00:59.54] And I know that I
[01:02.26] will try to love you
[01:06.12] Against the odds
[01:08.62] Against the law
[01:10.34] Oh and against the rocks
[01:15.71] And someday I will make it up to you
[01:21.47] just by depriving you of all my love
[01:30.28]
[01:42.22] I am lying in stupor
[01:45.33] Stretched out on the floor
[01:48.63] Staring at the ceiling
[01:50.98] While the world is going up in
[01:56.55] smoke, my love, is dwindling all around me
[02:02.29] And I'm thinking:
[02:02.74] "If I don't come clean, I'll die."
[02:08.59] I hold my head up to the sky
[02:15.07] I hide away just to get by, my love
[02:20.58] And I know what lies ahead, my love
[02:28.78] And I know that I
[02:31.40] will try to love you
[02:35.33] Against the odds
[02:37.87] Against the law
[02:39.56] Oh and against the rocks
[02:44.86] And someday I will make it up to you
[02:50.61] just by depriving you of all my love
[02:57.94] So tell me everything
[03:01.62] that you have learned of love
[03:04.87] And tell me everything that
[03:08.31] you have learned of hate
[03:11.45] And tell me everything that you have learned about the skill
[03:17.38] to reconcile yourself to life
[03:23.13] I will try to love you
[03:27.29] Against the odds
[03:29.45] Against the law
[03:30.96] Oh and against the rocks
[03:36.81] And someday I will make it up to you
[03:42.58] just by depriving you of all my love
[03:48.97] just by depriving you of all my love
[03:55.75]
