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
 [bad word] 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
