Paradise Blues - Eels

Scary little suicide bomber

On the way to paradise

Gonna take yourself and be with her

Killin' once and killin' twice

Well it’s a real hard time

Singin' the paradise blues

Kinda hard to blame somebody

For goin' to a better place

For thinkin' there’s some kinda magic

Up there past outer space

Well that’s some crazy-ass shit

Singin' the paradise blues

I’m gonna walk these filthy streets

I’m gonna raise my head

I may not be in paradise

Woo, but I’m not dead

Ain’t gonna fly blind

Singin' these paradise blues

Your contempt and your sarcasm

It’s all so transparent

Why don’t you give up the act now, kid

Woo, and let some love in?

Cause that’s all that we got

Singin' these paradise blues
