The Other Side Of Paradise

When I was young and stupid my love

Left to be a rock and roll star

He told me please don't worry

Wise little smile that spoke so safelyHe booked a one way ticket

Out west that's where they make it

Six kids stuck in a bedsit

To sunswept poolside richesHe met a girl who wore Versace

Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery

Gonna be a hoop phenomenon

He's gonna be Hakeem OlajuwanHe's got a gold Camaro

He said over the payphone

I try to keep my cool but

My life turns in slow motionBye bye baby blue

I wish you could see the wicked truth

Caught up in a rush it's killing you

Screaming at the sun you blow into

Curled up in a grip when we were us

Fingers in a fist like you might run

I settle for a ghost I never knew

Superparadise I held on to

But I settle for a ghostWhen I was from n.o.l.a no one

Left to be a rock and roll star

He'd stay and treat his lady

Give everything to his new babyI miss him don't you blame me

That boy went stone cold crazy

Caught up in camera lust he's

Chasing that pappy pipe dreamsI know you don't but I

I know you don't but I still try

My thunder shook him down

My thunder came and shook him down

That girl is gone but I

That girl is gone but I still try

I think it's over now

The bullet hit but maybe not

I feel so fucking numb

It hits my head and I feel numb

My body's looking wrong

My body's looking wrong

My body's looking wrongBye bye baby blue

I wish you could see the wicked truth

Caught up in a rush it's killing you

Screaming at the sun you blow into

Curled up in a grip when we were us

Fingers in a fist like you might run

I settle for a ghost I never knew

Superparadise I held on to

But I settle for a ghost
