Oh, 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   And doing it all my life   Fanning the flames and breaking the chains   We're prisoners of paradise      Oh, guitar redemption   From the last picture show   A karma connection   Everywhere I go      I keep building it up and tearing it down   And doing it all my life   Kids on the run and money for guns   We're prisoners of paradise      You don't want to be a lonely boy   Well, you can make it on your own, ooh      In this vampire nation, it begins like it ends   She looked good on paper, huh   At least I got my friends   And tonight will be so gone   And tonight will be all in one      I keep building it up and tearing it down   And doing it all my life   Fanning the flames and breaking the chains   We're prisoners of paradise      I keep building it up and tearing it down   And 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
