Welcome to Paradise lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc

 

Dear mother

Can you hear me whining?

It's been three whole weeks

Since I left your home

This sudden fear has left me trembling

'Cause now it seems that I

Am out there on my own

And I'm feeling so alone

 

Pay attention to the cracked streets

And the broken homes

Some call it slums

Some call it nice

I want to take you through

A wasteland I like to call my home

Welcome to paradise

 

A gunshot rings out at the station

Another urchin snaps and

Left dead on his own

It makes me wonder why I'm still here

For some strange reason it's now

Feeling like my home

And I'm never gonna go

 

Pay attention to the cracked streets

And the broken homes

Some call it slums

Some call it nice

I want to take you through

A wasteland I like to call my home

Welcome to paradise

 

Dear mother

Can you hear me laughing?

It's been six whole months since that

I have left your home

It makes me wonder why I'm still here

For some strange reason it's now

Feeling like my home

And I'm never gonna go

 

Pay attention to the cracked streets

And the broken homes

Some call it slums

Some call it nice

I want to take you through

A wasteland I like to call my home

Welcome to paradise

Paradise
