Paradise

from demo by Down Dakota

lyrics

there was a condensating shady acre place, a place,
you had to be there,
covert to the common signs
that say "hello there, how ya doin'?"
causing all the people in the town
to hold their hands and heads up...high.

Pappy's in the park playing game of chess with old man Henry,
flake of pollen landed on his nose,
he was stung by a bee, who made him nervous,
got the jitters as he lost the game,
though he just backed and smiled.

precious little values that survived the horrors of history.
they did it again, they flushed it again right down that goddamn drain,
and waited on the other side for it to come out good,
but didn't know what they were getting into 'cause it did not come back at all,
a moment in time where they could not see beyond the lids of their eyes,
watching your motions to pick up the phone.

stop the ringing with a snap of those fingers,
snapped them again red lights changed to a green
as frowns went upside down,
smiled in disbelief, now this is a place that I can call...

I wish I could just be more like you,
I wish I could just be more like you,
and walk exactly like you walk,
and talk exactly like you.
