Prisoners of Paradise Lyrics by Jesse Malin

Glitter in the Gutter

0

[Verse 1]
Well, I had super heroes, silver patroned saints
I've seen the movie, I even made that face
[Chorus]
I've been building it up and tearing it down, doing it all my life
Fanning the flames and breaking the chains, prisoners of paradise
[Verse 2]
Guitar redemption from the last picture show
A karma connection everywhere I go
[Chorus]
They keep building it up and tearing it down, doing it all my life
Money for guns, kids on the run, we're prisoners of paradise
[Verse 3]
You don't want to be a lonely boy, you can make it on your own
In this vampire nation
Begins like it ends, she looked good on paper
At least I got my friends, and tonight will be so gone
[Chorus]
We keep tearing it up and tearing it down, been doing it all my life
Fanning the flames and breaking the chains, we're prisoners of paradise
[Chorus]
We keep building it up and tearing it down, been doing it all my life
Money for guns and kids on the run, we're prisoners of paradise
[Outro]
Prisoners of paradise
Prisoners of paradise
Prisoners of paradise
