The Other Side of Paradise
[00:00.26] ~
[00:31.21] When I was young and stupid my love
[00:34.61] Left to be a rock and roll star
[00:38.71] He told me "Please don't worry"
[00:42.20] Wise little smile that spoke so safely
[00:46.21] He booked a one way ticket
[00:50.10] Out west that's where they'd make it
[00:53.71] Six kids stuck in a bedsit
[00:57.34] To sunswept poolside riches
[01:01.85] ~
[01:08.35] He met a girl who wore Versace
[01:12.10] Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery
[01:16.21] Gonna be a hoop phenomenon
[01:19.46] He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwon
[01:23.86] He's got a gold Camaro
[01:27.60] He said over the payphone
[01:31.21] "I try to keep my cool but"
[01:34.96] "My life turns in slow motion"
[01:38.35] Bye bye baby blue
[01:41.10] I wish you could see the wicked truth
[01:44.86] Caught up in a rush, it's killing you
[01:48.70] Screaming at the sun, you blow into
[01:52.21] Curled up in a grip when we were us
[01:56.20] Fingers in a fist like you might run
[01:59.71] I settle for a ghost I never knew
[02:03.61] Superparadise I held on to
[02:06.75] But I settle for a ghost
[02:09.41] ~
[02:15.82] Where I was from NOLA no one
[02:19.56] Left to be a rock and roll star
[02:23.81] He'd stay and treat his lady
[02:26.96] Give everything to his new baby
[02:31.37] I miss him don't you blame me
[02:35.12] That boy went stone cold crazy
[02:38.71] Caught up in camera lust he's
[02:42.46] Chasing that pappy pipe dreams
[02:46.60] ~
[03:16.45] I know you don't but I
[03:19.96] I know you don't but I still try
[03:23.71] My thunder shook him down
[03:27.46] My thunder came and shook him down
[03:31.45] That girl is gone but I
[03:34.96] That girl is gone but I still try
[03:38.95] I think it's over now
[03:42.46] The bullet hit but maybe not
[03:46.45] I feel so fucking numb
[03:49.96] It hits my head and I feel numb
[03:53.71] My body's looking wrong
[03:57.46] My body's looking wrong
[04:01.21] My body's looking wrong
[04:04.46] Bye bye baby blue
[04:07.46] I wish you could see the wicked truth
[04:10.95] Caught up in a rush it's killing you
[04:14.95] Screaming at the sun you blow into
[04:18.70] Curled up in a grip when we were us
[04:22.45] Fingers in a fist like you might run
[04:26.20] I settle for a ghost I never knew
[04:29.96] Superparadise I held on to
[04:33.20] But I settle for a ghost
