Below Paradise

My Lord

Look around, I see paradise disappear

It's a mirage to the people who's still living here

Make no mistake, life is great, but it's still lacking

Sister gone, son gone, can't deny what happen

Expensive look, crystal clear, this ain't paradise

Killing yourself to make it work, now that's a sacrifice

It's pointless as a broken arrow, put a bow on it

Wrap it up and make it pretty, maybe they won't notice nothing

Yeah, falling for the okey-doke

Guaranteed you'll take it baby, if you know she'll hold you close

In the lap of luxury, she hugging me

I'm out here exposing all my private matters publicly

Please pardon the interruption, but you don't know the score

You don't know the game, I ain't talking bout' a sport

This is real life

Where real people sneak and creep and cheat on they real wife

We got real problems

That's the real world

It's hard to face reality when the end is blurred

It's hard to see the world for what it really is

A death trap, don't get attached, it's coming to an end

It's coming to an end!

I think you need to know

Teddy Pendergrass said it well, "You need to let it go"

Let me go

I tell the world, no holding back

Love's like money, I borrowed

I guess I owe you that

Paradise, below Paradise yeah

Para-ra-ra-dise, Para-ra-ra-dise

Paradise, below Paradise yeah

Para-ra-ra-dise, Para-ra-ra-dise

Below, below, below Paradise yeah

Para-ra-ra-dise, Para-ra-ra-dise
