Paradise Lost Lyrics

Riff 1
Verse:
Everybody wants a piece of paradise
A house upon a hill with a view of heaven
Now everyone's here so close together
Paradise is lost and gone forever
Chorus:
When we were young we used to walk out in those fields
And run forever in the backyard woods
Now the old trails disappear in neighborhoods
D Riff 1
With streets after what's gone for good
Verse:
The hills above town used to be the best place
For starry eyed lovers and inspiration
Now it's all paved
Every street's a dead end
And empty summer houses stand all along them
Now there's no trespassing
There's no going back again
I only hope you remember
The way it was, what we had back then
Verse:
Everybody wants a piece of paradise
A house up on the hill with a view of heaven
