Sure is cold here and I ain’t lyin’
The stairs lead nowhere and time is dead
If I had someone just to listen I’d tell them stories of paradise
When I was young I crossed an ocean
Crossed an ocean oh, so far away

Cosmic circus, instant passions
I found a way for me to make it pay
Well let me guess now, my little monkey
You love your salt and your cigarettes

And with your eyes shut you see valhalla
You’ve lost some fight but you ain’t done yet
Now come a little bit closer
Well ain’t that nice

You and me girl, between the raindrops
Little pieces of paradise
Baby, I’m dyin’ so let’s do some cryin’
Let’s cherish some sins in the cave

Under the rainbow where no one will ever know
We’ll make such a beautiful place
Sure is hot here
It’s like a jungle

Hot enough for life to grow
But it’s just too much
I can’t take the hassle
There ain’t no air and it’s time to go
We’ve got the scars to prove us
Well ain’t that nice
All our laughin’ and all our cryin’ are little memories of paradise
