Paradise Blues

scary little suicide bomber
on her way to paradise
gonna take herself and me with her
killing once and killing twice
well it's a real hard time
singing the paradise blues

kind of hard to blame somebody
for going to a better place
for thinking there's some kind of magic
up there past outer space
well that's some crazy ass shit
singing the paradise blues

i'm gonna walk these filthy streets
i'm gonna raise my head
i may not be in paradise
but i'm not dead
ain't gonna fly blind
singing these paradise blues

your contempt and your sarcasm
it's all so transparent
why don't you give up the act now kid
and let some love in
'cause that's all that we got
or sing these paradise blues
