Paradise

from Empty Ship by Apres Pompeii

lyrics

This could be paradise with no one but me on my mind. Have you met life today? I’m loving having it my way. Did somebody say my name? Well, every king begins with ‘k.’ Oh what a feeling, put a tiger in a tank. If diamonds aren’t forever, there’s always coca-caine. This could be paradise with no one but me on my mind. Put the body in the bag and the bag under the yard. A poplar marks the spot, but paint the leaves all black with tar and drink from the branches, taste the honey sickly-sweet, then get to the trenches for these arms require feet. This could be paradise with no one but me on my mind. If heaven’s just a ghetto, are we kids out here with no coats lying naked in the barn, oh?
