[Intro spoken with a female voice] Welcome home! [Verse 1] Come on in. Stay a while. Have a seat. Let’s just skip past the pleasantries If there is anything that you may need, You know it’s right there at arms reach. Yeah, Drink all you want until you drift to sleep. [Verse 2] Come see how they stroll along the streets Moving without the words to speak With their faces calm and half asleep Smiles fixed, but they never quite reach As you can see nobody’s eyes quite meet [pre-chorus] My lounge feels like a waiting room Like sitting on a plane taking off soon [Chorus] Unseen hands hovering in “stand-by” And steps repeat, no need to try Want for nothing’ there’s ample supply There’s no conflict, no need to fight Congratulations, You’re in paradise Congratulations you’re in paradise [Post-Chorus] Yeah you’ve made it, Oh yeah, Paradise [Verse 3] Rejoice because your eyes have now been graced Golden idols, bewitching face Flawless, devoid of any mistakes But beyond the eyes are so fake Yeah, No drive or purpose or changes to make [Verse 4] Empty streets now filled with restless cries Doors stay closed, now no one replies It seems that our guilded cage belies The truth of it’s awful disguise Our own resolve corrodes with our short lives [pre-chorus] My house feels like purgatory Like there’s no substance to my own story [Chorus] Unseen hands hovering in “stand-by” And steps repeat, no need to try Want for nothing’ there’s ample supply There’s no conflict, no need to fight Congratulations, You’re in paradise Congratulations you’re in paradise [Post-Chorus] Yeah you’ve made it, Oh yeah, Paradise Oh yeah
