Jesse Malin › Lyrics › Prisoners of Paradise

Oh, well, I had super heroes
Silver patroned saints
I've seen the movie
I even made that face

I been building it up and tearing it down
And doing it all my life
Fanning the flames and breaking the chains
We're prisoners of paradise

Oh, guitar redemption
From the last picture show
A karma connection
Everywhere I go

I keep building it up and tearing it down
And doing it all my life
Kids on the run and money for guns
We're prisoners of paradise

You don't want to be a lonely boy
Well, you can make it on your own, ooh

In this vampire nation, it begins like it ends
She looked good on paper, huh
At least I got my friends
And tonight will be so gone
And tonight will be all in one

I keep building it up and tearing it down
And doing it all my life
Fanning the flames and breaking the chains
We're prisoners of paradise

I keep building it up and tearing it down
And doing it all my life
Money for guns and kids on the run
We're prisoners of paradise

Prisoners of paradise
Prisoners of paradise
Prisoners of paradise
