The Other Side Of Paradise
[00:30.94] When I was young and stupid my love
[00:34.67] Left to be a rock and roll star
[00:38.69] He told me, "Please don't worry"
[00:42.16] Wise little smile that spoke so safely
[00:46.13] He booked a one way ticket
[00:50.13] Out west, that's where they'd make it
[00:53.59] Six kids stuck in a bedsit
[00:57.56] To sunswept poolside riches
[01:08.53] He met a girl who wore Versace
[01:11.97] Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery
[01:16.01] Gonna be a hoop phenomenon
[01:19.45] He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwon
[01:23.72] He's got a gold Camaro
[01:27.70] He said over the payphone
[01:31.16] I try to keep my cool but
[01:34.87] My life turns in slow motion
[01:38.33] Bye bye baby blue
[01:41.00] I wish you could see the wicked truth
[01:45.26] Caught up in a rush, it's killing you
[01:48.44] Screaming at the sun, you blow into
[01:52.44] Curled up in a grip when we were us
[01:56.15] Fingers in a fist like you might run
[01:59.91] I settle for a ghost I never knew
[02:03.89] Superparadise I held on to
[02:06.81] But I settle for a ghost
[02:15.90] Where I was from in NOLA no one
[02:20.49] Left to be a rock and roll star
[02:23.42] He'd stay and treat his lady
[02:27.19] Give everything to his new baby
[02:31.45] I miss him, don't you blame me
[02:34.94] That boy went stone cold crazy
[02:38.67] Caught up in camera lust he's
[02:42.65] Chasing that pappy pipe dream
[03:16.43] I know you don't but I
[03:20.13] I know you don't but I still try
[03:24.41] My thunder shook him down
[03:27.58] My thunder came and shook him down
[03:31.31] That girl is gone but I
[03:35.05] That girl is gone but I still try
[03:38.77] I think it's over now
[03:43.02] The bullet hit but maybe not
[03:46.52] I feel so fucking numb
[03:49.97] It hits my head and I feel numb
[03:53.71] My body's looking wrong
[03:57.41] My body's looking wrong
[04:01.12] My body's looking wrong
[04:04.60] Bye bye baby blue
[04:07.52] I wish you could see the wicked truth
[04:11.23] Caught up in a rush, it's killing you
[04:14.95] Screaming at the sun you blow into
[04:18.69] Curled up in a grip when we were us
[04:22.41] Fingers in a fist like you might run
[04:26.12] I settle for a ghost I never knew
[04:30.11] Superparadise I held on to
[04:33.04] But I settle for a ghost
