[00:01.042]Paradise
[00:02.915]Is exactly like
[00:06.044]Where you are right now
[00:08.584]Only much much
[00:12.925]Better.
[00:13.783]
[00:14.237]I saw this guy on the train
[00:15.399]And he seemed to gave gotten stuck
[00:17.500]In one of those abstract trances.
[00:20.815]And he was going: "Ugh...Ugh...Ugh..."
[00:22.774]
[00:25.726]And Fred said:
[00:26.749]"I think he's in some kind of pain.
[00:28.149]I think it's a pain cry."
[00:31.971]And I said: "Pain cry?
[00:35.933]Then language is a virus."
[00:38.724]
[00:39.351]Language! It's a virus!
[00:45.534]Language! It's a virus!
[00:50.809]
[00:53.256]Well I was talking to a friend
[00:57.490]And I was saying:
[00:58.586]I wanted you.
[01:01.229]And I was looking for you.
[01:03.407]But I couldn't find you. I couldn't find you.
[01:10.436]And he said: Hey!
[01:12.578]Are you talking to me?
[01:14.000]Or are you just practicing
[01:15.320]For one of those performances of yours?
[01:17.309]Huh?
[01:17.908]
[01:18.302]Language! It's a virus!
[01:23.849]Language! It's a virus!
[01:24.671]
[01:29.941]He said: I had to write that letter to your mother.
[01:33.258]And I had to tell the judge that it was you.
[01:36.665]And I had to sell the car and go to Florida.
[01:39.218]Because that's just my way of saying (It's a charm.)
[01:42.640]That I love you. And I (It's a job.)
[01:43.880]Had to call you at the crack of dawn (Why?)
[01:46.656]And list the times that I've been wrong.
[01:49.696]Cause that's just my way of saying
[01:53.340]That I'm sorry. (It's a job.)
[01:54.290]
[01:55.914]Language! It's a virus!
[02:02.293]Language! It's a virus!
[02:07.938]
[02:10.729]Paradise
[02:13.397]Is exactly like
[02:15.768]Where you are right now
[02:18.167]Only much much (It's a shipwreck,)
[02:22.711]Better. (It's a job.)
[02:25.403]
[02:28.270]You know? I don't believe there's such
[02:30.278]a thing as TV. I mean -
[02:32.363]They just keep showing you
[02:33.806]The same pictures over and over.
[02:38.038]And when they talk they just make sounds
[02:41.668]That more or less synch up
[02:44.303]With their lips.
[02:45.841]That's what I think!
[02:46.673]
[02:47.277]Language! It's a virus!
[02:53.468]Language! It's a virus!
[02:59.914]Language! It's a virus!
[03:05.438]
[03:06.253]Well I dreamed there was an island
[03:09.519]That rose up from the sea.
[03:12.697]And everybody on the island
[03:15.952]Was somebody from TV.
[03:19.103]And there was a beautiful view
[03:22.277]But nobody could see.
[03:25.542]Cause everybody on the island
[03:29.241]Was saying: Look at me! Look at me!
[03:30.423]Look at me! Look at me!
[03:31.826]
[03:32.699]Because they all lived on an island
[03:35.616]That rose up from the sea.
[03:38.352]And everybody on the island
[03:41.519]Was somebody from TV.
[03:44.757]And there was a beautiful view
[03:47.852]But nobody could see.
[03:51.019]Cause everybody on the island
[03:53.892]Was saying: Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!
[03:56.703]Look at me! Look at me! Why?
[03:59.309]
[03:59.591]Paradise is exactly like
[04:04.128]Where you are right now
[04:07.127]Only much much better.
