Broken boy, stone cold and far from home
Sent upon a foolish sacrifice
All your plans buried in desert sands
Paradise comes with a price

Taxi girl, sad luck and thorazine
Victim of some very bad advice
Little fish caught in a silken purse
Paradise comes with a price

So hold me up
'Cause I feel I'm falling apart
Alone in the dark
Heaven knows
Take my hand
'Cause I feel I'm floating away
Can we ever win?
Somehow, someday

Boy and girl caught in a brutal world
One more drink together alone
Small surprise, they shoot the messenger
Paradise almost feels like home

So hold me close
'Cause I feel I'm falling apart
Alone in the dark
Heaven knows
Take my hand
'Cause I feel I'm floating away
Can we ever win?
Somehow, someday
