One man used his mighty voice to call
All for one, and baby, one for all
Bullets rang and he lost his life
It was a bloody day here in paradise
Paradise
It ain't hard to find
Lookin' out your window at the world outside
Paradise
It ain't far away
Here in my head it's just another day
Here in paradise
Now, cardboard boxes line these city streets
Playin' home for the hearts full of miseries
I got a room with a view that's nice
Just living on the hard side here in paradise
Yeah
Well, baby I was wrong
I should have said those things
I should have brought you flowers, love and wedding rings
I walk alone and I pay the price
For livin' on the wrong side of paradise
And I'm falling for paradise
And I'm falling for paradise
