lyrics

Isn't this where you want to be right now?
No alarms, no surprises...please
And on your straight and narrow
Lays a wind in the road
Just don't break in to the curve
It's such a shame to take the weight off
Only to put back again
Limitations get you as far as you throw
Just don't break into the curve

Now I'm in paradise
It's really got me feeling on edge
Now I'm in paradise
we've really got to leave this place

And so it seems to the untrained eye
That this night is severely lacking
If you meet me in the middle, I'll reach you out to the docklands
Still kick you to the kurb
It's only now that I believe
Thank you lord for I receive
Stolen apples ,bites from eve
Thank you lord for I receive

Now I'm in paradise
It's really got me feeling on edge
Now I'm in paradise
we've really got to leave this place

I'm never not sober when I sleep alone
Preachers left on standby in hind vision tone
Dirty homemade vessel, take me away
Take me to another place here I cannot stay
This world is getting large to me, roots come up to sway
Live a life of scrutiny at least till tomorrow's day
At least till tomorrow's day
Till tomorrow's day

No you cannot leave me this is where you be
Stuck between the catacombs another head display
Another empty vessel drag behind the beat
Knuckle head neanderthal kick em by the heels
It's getting bigger come on relax
Take your place on the couch cause this place you will always stay
This place you will always stay
