His daddy said when he was a babyHe was impossible to holdHe'd fuss and fight and then he'd giggle all nightTerrify the whole householdBut he'd listen to his bedtime storiesHe believed what he was toldAbout gypsy camps, saddle trampsAnd rainbow goldHe had about a million questionsLiked to drove everybody wildHe'd ask them stuff that was just too toughThey all told him, "hush up child"So it came as no surpriseWhen he left his home so youngLooking for some kind of paradiseI don't know what else he could have doneHe was a scholarThough he never really went to schoolHe stood amazed at the world's waysAnd he followed the golden ruleHe knew a little bit about everythingSongtexteHe could pretty much guess the restAnd he always seemed to know what you meanIf you took him in your confidenceNow most people run around in circlesBut he ran a real straight lineThe only thing wrong was that before too longHe left everyone who loved him behindSo it came as no surpriseWhen he left his home so youngLooking for some kind of paradiseLooking for something that he hadn't already doneWell he got to be hard to keep track ofEverybody was a little confusedAnd then one time the old grapevineWhispered the strangest newsNow maybe he didn't mean to do itI understand it if you've got your doubtsBut I got a good idea that the coast was clearAnd he figured he'd just bust on outNow friends I'm not saying that it was a good thingI'm not saying that it makes much senseI just know that he was the kind to cross every lineJump every single last fenceSo it comes as no surpriseThat he left his home so youngStill looking for some kind of paradiseThe fool thought he had to go all the way to kingdom comeThe only thing that I really wonder about nowKeeps running across my mindIf he ever caught his breath between his birth and deathIf he ever caught his breath between birth and deathI swear I don't know where he ever found the timeSome kind of paradise Aus Songtexte Mania
