False start, your sleepyhead
I'm caught up in the day with my night dreams and my mistakes
Television knows you're acting
The little boys go on pretending, they're wide awake

I'll settle on the dust, settle on the dust

But I've got better luck in my head
We're just ghosts inside my bed
I've got better luck in my head
Playing poker with the dead
This side of paradise, this side of paradise
This side of paradise, this side of paradise

I'm not here, nor anywhere
I wanna be with you, you're unaware
I'm a paper weight
I fantasize, a secret life and place where we hide
It feels right

I'll settle on the dust, settle on the dust

But I've got better luck in my head
We're just ghosts inside my bed
I've got better luck in my head
Playing poker with the dead
This side of paradise, this side of paradise
This side of paradise, this side of paradise

I don't want to be anywhere else
Than anywhere else but here (this is my paradise)
I don't want to be anywhere else
Than anywhere else but here (this is my paradise)
I don't want to be anywhere else
Than anywhere else but here (this is my paradise)
I don't want to be anywhere else
Than anywhere else but here (this is my paradise)

'Cause I've got better luck in my head
We're just ghosts inside my bed
I've got better luck in my head
Playing poker with the dead
This side of paradise, this side of paradise
This side of paradise, this side of paradise
