Some Kind of Paradise Lyrics by The View UpStairs Original Off-Broadway Cast

The View UpStairs

2017

[BUDDY]
In the summertime heat
Down on Iberville Street
Sex and incense mixed in the air
I met a man who shook my bones
With one penetrating stare
He said, "No reason to fear
Boy, your mama ain't here –
Come home with me instead."
And it was heaven on a loan
I woke up in a stranger's bed
And I said:
I think I found some kind of paradise –
No angel wings, no fairy dust
Just the rush of lust
[BUDDY, FREDDY, WILLIE, PATRICK, HENRI, INEZ, RICHARD & DALE]
But it's all right
[BUDDY]
And though this place is far from heavenly –
No golden throne, the ecstasy
Is just temporary
[BUDDY, FREDDY, WILLIE, PATRICK, HENRI, INEZ, RICHARD & DALE]
But it's all right
[BUDDY]
I haven't seen him since then
But I'd been born again:
The world was dangerous and new
I chose a family of my own
Who shared a brand new point of view
Now you're –
[BUDDY & WILLIE]
All gathered 'round
In this kingdom we've found
Where the queens and clones collide
[BUDDY]
And though it reeks of cheap cologne
It's my favorite escape from the world outside
[BUDDY & CAST]
I think I found some kind of paradise –
No angel wings, no fairy dust
Just the rush of lust, but it's all right
And though this place is far from heavenly –
No golden throne, the ecstasy
Is just temporary, but it's all right
It's all right
I think I found
I think I found
I think I found some kind of –
