|
The tears fall down like whisky |
|
The tears fall down like wine |
|
On an island made of cocaine |
|
In a sea of turpentine |
|
We all need some assistance |
|
But won't that day be fine |
|
When we're walking down the streets of Paradise |
|
Tar brush on the corner |
|
I've never seen him before |
|
He drank ten fingers of what they had |
|
Now his feet don't touch the floor |
|
He can't see me or this dirty old town |
|
He's got nothing to look for |
|
He's walking down the streets of Paradise |
|
Walking down the streets of Paradise |
|
Walking down the streets of Paradise |
|
I'd trade my silver mansion |
|
With a guard on every door |
|
I'd trade my wealth and treasure |
|
And the sash my father wore |
|
I'd trade my little sister |
|
And my brother who went before |
|
To be walking down the streets of Paradise |
|
Walking down the streets of Paradise |
|
Walking down the streets of Paradise |
|
I asked you for a racehorse |
|
Now don't hand me no mule |
|
I asked you for a fast car |
|
Don't you take me for a fool |
|
Just hand me down my telescope |
|
And a bullet I can chew |
|
I'll be walking down the streets of Paradise |
|
Walking down the streets of Paradise |
|
Walking down the streets of Paradise |
