[Verse 1] I could lay me down forever in the smokey afternoon Cause, babe, these questions march forever And I can see no answers coming soon For they stop still and so have we now Our hungry words left hanging in the air Give up this needs forget the hours now Cause where we're heading, time no longer cares
[Chorus] Forgetting gets easy where the milk and honey run (Paradise, paradise) And our sense grow sharp of the fruit of an island sun (Paradise, paradise) So just lay back and wait for it to come (Paradise, paradise) Cause paradise is somewhere where you and I belong (Paradise, paradise)
[Verse 2] The sky's are blazed with colors bursting, the tears collect and tumble down our cheeks With such perfection, we're taken by the throat and has us on our knees
[Chorus] Forgetting gets easy where the milk and honey run (Paradise, paradise) And our sense grow sharp above of fruit of an island sun (Paradise, paradise) So just lay back and wait for it to come (Paradise, paradise) Cause paradise is somewhere where you and I belong (Paradise, paradise)
[Bridge] I've tasted the world, all its flavors [?] I've had sweet success and sweet failure But I'm telling you, I'm telling you nothing tastes quite like… (Paradise, paradise)
[Refrain] Forgetting gets easy where the milk and honey run (Paradise, paradise) And our sense grow sharp above the fruit of an island sun (Paradise, paradise) So just lay back and wait for it to come (Paradise, paradise) Cause paradise is somewhere where you and I belong (Paradise, paradise)
[Outro] Cause paradise is somewhere where… Paradise is somewhere where you and I belong
