The Other Side Of Paradise
[00:30.99] When I was young and stupid my love
[00:34.65] Left to be a rock and roll star
[00:39.03] He told me: "Please, don't worry"
[00:42.26] Wise little smile that spoke so safely
[00:46.36] He booked a one-way ticket
[00:50.19] Out west, that's where they make it
[00:54.06] Six kids stuck in a bedsit
[00:57.40] To sunswept poolside riches
[01:09.04] He met a girl who wore Versace
[01:12.09] Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery
[01:16.20] Gonna be a hoop phenomenon
[01:19.54] He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwon
[01:23.74] He's got a gold Camaro
[01:27.60] He said over the payphone
[01:31.26] I try to keep my cool but
[01:34.88] My life turns in slow motion
[01:38.29] Bye-bye baby blue
[01:41.42] I wish you could see the wicked truth
[01:45.13] Caught up in a rush, it's killing you
[01:48.84] Screaming at the sun you blow into
[01:52.46] Curled up in a grip when we were us
[01:56.31] Fingers in a fist like you might run
[02:00.27] I settle for a ghost I never knew
[02:03.93] Super paradise I held on to
[02:06.99] But I settle for a ghost
[02:16.00] Where I was from in NOLA, no one
[02:19.61] Left to be a rock and roll star
[02:23.98] He'd stay and treat his lady
[02:27.36] Give everything to his new baby
[02:31.31] I miss him, don't you blame me?
[02:35.01] That boy went stone cold crazy
[02:39.21] Caught up in camera lust, he's
[02:42.59] Chasing that pappy pipe dream
[03:16.54] I know you don't but I-
[03:20.06] I know you don't but I still try
[03:23.94] My thunder shook him down
[03:27.56] My thunder came and shook him down
[03:31.39] That girl is gone but I-
[03:34.98] That girl is gone but I still try
[03:39.03] I think it's over now
[03:42.65] The bullet hit but maybe not
[03:46.54] I feel so fucking numb
[03:50.17] It hits my head and I feel numb
[03:53.84] My body's looking wrong
[03:57.42] My body's looking wrong
[04:01.09] My body's looking wrong
[04:04.65] Bye-bye, baby blue
[04:07.69] I wish you could see the wicked truth
[04:11.40] Caught up in a rush, it's killing you
[04:15.02] Screaming at the sun you blow into
[04:18.72] Curled up in a grip when we were us
[04:22.39] Fingers in a fist like you might run
[04:26.34] I settle for a ghost I never knew
[04:30.09] Super paradise I held on to
[04:33.17] But I settle for a ghost
