Paradise Hotel

sailing cross the seas

pursuing sorry ships don't know they're sinking

holding on until all hope is gone

focusing my eyes on distant stars so far away they're

blinking

on and off and on and off and on

but the bird in my hand is promising paradise

venture forth from cave

to conquer everything that's moving

pleasure never really lasting very long

roller coaster ride the lows the highs

feels like you're grooving

though it's on and off and on and off and on

and the bird in my hand is promising paradise

all the actors in your play will do their part

and go their way

or dance as long as you will pay

but she will never fly away

man behind the curtain

pulls the levers for the sheep

for me tonight there'll be no sleep until the dawn

neon sign from paradise hotel across the street

is blinking on and off and on and off and on

and the bird in my hand is promising paradise
