Where do you think he's gone That skinny boy in jeans With some fantastic dreams He leapt from song to song And as he danced all night Vivacious and polite His face was always feared By those he'd engineered To grin from ear to ear Now it's a joke as I up periscope I can see how the land used to lie The world would float Then sink again like soap You know I didn't have to try To find how things looked in your paradise (Used to be) (4x) Where do you think he went The one who thought he was The one nailed to the cross His purse of fame was spent On custom-made guitars And big black shiny cars When all he owned was great And went down on the slate That all he did was break People's hearts Now it's a joke as I up periscope I can see how the land used to lie The world would float Then sink again like soap You know I didn't have to try To find how things looked in your paradise (Used to be) (4x)
