Paradise Is - Blancmange

I almost lost myself angry nights

Thought I’d give it all the way

Senseless things to do

Then we see light of day

Thought I’d give it all the way

Paradise is the hand in the store

Promise at a price to educate more

Paradise is the hand in the store

Slapped at a price will educate more

All the people in the rooms

I’d known so well

Smiling faces

The truth would never tell

I looked around it wasn’t planned

I looked around I will expand

A mask so thin

The world I don’t believe would waste its time

A mask so thin

Another world would never waste its time

A mask so thin so fine

The boys would never waste their time conceiving

But they do and oh so well

Too many people

Stood in a room

That I’d known so well

Chewing the drinks drinking the room

Dancing the room tossing and turning

Finding themselves once turned by emotions

Never oneself

Strange how we grow

Smile keeps the secrets in

Strange how we wear the grin

Smile keeps the secrets in

Strange how we wear the grin
