Paradise

(album: Time Will Wait For No One - 2023)

I'm trying not to focus
On the broken glass
With paradise on fire
Yeah, paradise on fire
The flowers on the tile
And Zuma beach a zoo
'Cause paradise is on fire
Paradise is on fire

Blue lights buzzing
The air is bad to breathe
So just stay inside and
Say it's your idea not to leave
Yeah, you're doing so well
You're not a zombie, you're a yogi
But it takes so much energy
To not have a doubt

I see a crowded harbor
Where boats barely flow
Of paradise on fire
Yeah, paradise on fire
I've got a friend of a friend
Her name was on the news
Paradise on fire
Yeah, paradise on fire

I don't know what to think
Is the sun rising?
I can't get up that early
I'm holding onto my dreams
Thought we were doing so well
Her eyes are saying something else to me
I shook my head and grabbed a broom
Tried to sweep up

Ooh, oh
I'm hoping none of it mattered
Your pretty flowers soar
I know our day will come
Oh, our day will come
