Europe - Prisioners In Paradise Lyrics
Intro: I want to learn how to fly I want to be resp0ected I want to get lucky I want to get out of this dump I just want to watch tv I want to be loved I want to be different I want a brother anTer Id just rather be forgotten I want to save the world I want to be understood I want to be rich man, I just want to be somebodyJulies got the word today she lost her job just one last payLife dont come easy anymoreStill strugglin on by herself got a picture of jimmy there on the shelfAnd she looks at him and says why did we let it goI know that sometimes baby we didnt see things eye-to-eyeBut I got just one question did we have to say goodbye?Just like prisioners in paradiseStill far from heavens doorWe had it all but still we wanted moreNow I realize that I cant turn back the future here to stayBut hey were just children of tomorrowHangin on to yesterdayJimmy still recalls the night when he took his guitar and headed on outTo find the big time that was his dreamHe gave up his past and made it alrightBut theres something missin in his heart tonightSometimes what you want aint what you needHe misses drivin down to the lake at nightHoldin his baby in his arms so tightAin t it hard to find illusions when youre livin in a memoryJust like prisioners in paradiseSo close but yet so farThere will come a time no matter who you areWhen you ask yourself was it right or wrongFor me to turn away,But hey were just children of tomorrow hangin on to yesterday
