Paradise

Stranglers
1983

I went in search of paradise, they said it would be good for my head
I went in search of paradise, but she took me by the head instead

Paris, London
Glamour and despair
Ruins, we were ruined over there
Ruins, we were ruined over there

And when you think you’re in paradise, but then you find your arms are tied
Caprive in the name of paradise, the chains are all her lies

Paris, London
Glamour and despair
Ruins, we were ruined over there
Ruins, we were ruined over there

The picture on the screen is moving still, it’s moving all the time
If only you freeze frame a moment there, you could have paradise all the time

Paris, London
Glamour and despair
Ruins, we were ruined over there
Ruins, we were ruined over there

I don’t think anyone ever found paradise
Cause paradise is based on lies
