Well I had super heroes Silver patroned saints I've seen the movie I even made that face I been building it up and tearing it down Doing it all my life Fanning the flames and breaking the chains Prisoners of paradise Guitar redemption From the last picture show A karma connection Everywhere I go They keep building it up and tearing it down Doing it all my life Money for guns, kids on the run, we're prisoners of paradise You don't want to be a lonely boy You can make it on your own In this vampire nation Begins like it ends She looked good on paper At least I got my friends And tonight will be so gone!!!! We keep tearing it up And tearing it down Been doing it all my life Fanning the flames and breaking the chains We're prisoners of paradise We keep building it up And tearing it down Been doing it all my life Money for guns and kids on the run We're prisoners of paradise Prisoners of paradise Prisoners of paradise Prisoners of paradise
