Prisoners in Paradise (Single Version)
Europe

Oh yeah, Julie's got the word today

She lost her job just one last pay

Life don't come easy anymore


Still strugglin' on by herself

Got a picture of Jimmy there on the shelf

And she looks at him and says, Why did we let it go? Yeah


I know that sometimes, baby

We didn't see things eye-to-eye

But I got just one question

Did we have to say goodbye?


Oh, just like prisoners in paradise still far from Heaven's door

Yeah, we had it all but still we wanted more

Now, I realize that I can't turn back, the future's here to stay

But hey, we're just children of tomorrow hangin' on to yesterday


Well, Jimmy still recalls the night

When he took his guitar and headed on out

To find the big time, yeah, that was his dream


He gave up his past and made it alright

But there's something missin' in his heart tonight


Sometimes what you want ain't what you need, no, no


He misses drivin' down to the lake at night

Holdin' his baby in his arms so tight

Ain't it hard to find illusions

When you're livin' in a memory


Oh, just like prisoners in paradise so close but yet so far

There will come a time no matter who you are

When you ask yourself, was it right or wrong for me to turn away

But hey, we're just children of tomorrow hangin' on to yesterday



Prisoners in paradise, prisoners in paradise

We're just prisoners in paradise still far from Heaven's door

Yeah, we had it all but still we wanted more


We're just prisoners in paradise so close but yet so far

There will come a time no matter, no matter who you are

When you ask yourself was it right or wrong for me to turn away

But hey, we're just children of tomorrow hangin' on to yesterday
