Bring me down Drag me away from heaven But look out! Angels guard the door We all choose pain if pleasure is ordinary Then we beg for more and more and more Oh lock me up in an institution and throw away the key Then I'm free The prisoner of paradise Take me down, I've gone too high, so hurry! How this can be real? I paid for the ride And got wishes for eternity And here's one more - I wish that you would steal them. Tie me down and don't believe me If I say I'm free, it's still me The prisoner of paradise Bring me down If I could start all over, would I do the same? Oh I'd try for a while, then hunger for the recipe. And all I'd hear is "Isn't it a shame?" Oh wrap me up in some chains and you can push me out to sea Cover me up with the ocean, then I'm free The prisoner of paradise
