well you've left me here in paradise city
where the air is foul and it's used and it's gritty
she must have been fun and I bet she was pretty
in paradise city, in paradise city
where the people are scared and the people are mean
and there aren't any places they ain't been
you won't believe the things they've seen
in been around city, in been around city
in this town we all bear our own load
'cause we know what's waiting at the end of the road
you've left me here you've left me alone
in lonely city, in this lonely city
well you've left me here in paradise city
where the air is foul and it's used and it's gritty
she must have been fun and I bet she was pretty
in paradise city, in paradise city
where there aren't any buses and there aren't any cars
and the city is surrounded by walls and by bars
at least we all know where we are
we're in desolation city, we're in desolation city
this ain't no paradise city, ain't no paradise city
where the air is foul and it's used and it's gritty
she must have been fun and I bet she was pretty
in paradise city, in paradise city
where the people are scared and the people are mean
and there aren't any places they ain't been
you won't believe the things they've seen
in been around city, in been around city
in this town we all bear our own load
'cause we know what's waiting at the end of the road
you've left me here you've left me alone
in lonely city, in this lonely city
well you've left me here in paradise city
where the air is foul and it's used and it's gritty
she must have been fun and I bet she was pretty
in paradise city, in paradise city
where there aren't any buses and there aren't any cars
and the city is surrounded by walls and by bars
at least we all know where we are
we're in desolation city, we're in desolation city
this ain't no paradise city, ain't no paradise city
