So This Is Paradise Urgent

I hitched a ride to the wild side
See what I could see
Somethin' drags me to the fairground
It's like a woman to me

Old man sleepin' on the sidewalk
Bottle by his side
Everybody's out for number one
Someplace to hide

I've been told
The streets are paved with gold

So this is paradise
So this is paradise
So this is paradise

I called my mother on the phone today
Gave her phony news
This town is crazy, I'm wastin' away
Wish I could tell her the truth

The landlord's breakin' down my window
Tell him I ain't home
There's just a body and a bottle of wine
With no place to go
