Well I had super heroes
Silver patron saints
I've seen the movie
I even made that face

I been building it up and tearing it down
Doing it all my life
Fanning the flames and breaking the chains
Prisoners of paradise

Guitar redemption
From the last picture show
A karma connection
Everywhere I go

They keep building it up and tearing it down
Doing it all my life
Money for guns, kids on the run, we're prisoners of paradise

You don't want to be a lonely boy
You can make it on your own

In this vampire nation
Begins like it ends
She looked good on paper
At least I got my friends

And tonight will be so gone!
Tonight we'll be alone

We keep tearing it up
And tearing it down
Been doing it all my life
Fanning the flames and breaking the chains
We're prisoners of paradise

We keep building it up
And tearing it down
Been doing it all my life
Money for guns and kids on the run
We're prisoners of paradise

Prisoners of paradise
Prisoners of paradise
Prisoners of paradise
