Paradise

Letra

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 gameIf 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 a 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 drive 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
