lyrics

Paradise Ain’t a privelege, It’s a power- But people abuse it- And paradise ain’t in the skies- Its in hell

when we get through it -And so we walk- Through the labrynth with our hearts-on-fire-Yeah paradise is

underground- Though all the demons- they get used to it- But I can’t get used to it- So I’m lost in the in-between

Still seven feet below looks a lot lighter than seven above-

Cuz darkness is a place- it’s a place where people reach for love

But my heart is whole-So im alone-

But Im alone with my feet-on –the-ground-

Yeah- I’m alone-But I made it out of the underground

And so while the sun’s still out- I should probably go and send my roots-back-down-

I’ll shoot em down- And the sun will keep on shinin’- I’ll send them out-And the sun will keep on

shinin’-

And if heaven is still empty- Then it looks like Hades is drawing the crowds-

And if I had that unlocked box-

I’d take those hearts- And I’d let em all out- I’d let em out-

And I’d float them to the sky- They’d erupt-

And I know that I would start to cry-Cuz I’d be alone- In unprotected paradise

And if lightening chose to strike-

And those hearts-bled-down-


Then we’d all shed tears together-

Swim right back down to Hadestown-

Have a party- But my drinking days are done-

Spin some records- But that pyramid song’s been sung-

Dance in gold silk- But the threads have come undone-

My paradise is unspun- My paradise is unspun-

My paradise is unspun- My paradise has been won
