Paradise Songtext

ParadiseEverything's changed and it's all for the bestAnd it's all gone according to planIt's out in the open and now it's all overThree cheers for every woman and manTerry and Julie still stand on the bridgeBut only in our memoryDon't look to them to draw a conclusionJust love them and set them freeJulie hangs out by the banks of the riverWhere the garbage all flows to the seaSomething's washed up, it's sacrifice to herFrom the Twentieth CenturyShe sees the smokestacks and she sees the cityShe sees the stadium's covered in snowThe streets have been cleaned except for the bedroomsOf all the people with nowhere to goTerry will clutch at threads where the rope wasAs he's freefalling fast to the floorBut nobody claps because nobody's watchingIt's his lawyers who get all the applauseTime's on the move, and I'm on the redeyeWhere I'm hoping to find one more songBut it's like looking for rain in the riverBetter not leave it too longTerry and Julie filled out the couponAnd they won tickets tonight to the showBut it's the aisles in the new stores that beckonAs they shine a divine guiding glowThe bridge through the city, it has just crumbledAnd that link is what kept them all saneThe two of them tumble into the riverForget to come up for air again
