Sure is cold here and I ain't lyin' The stairs lead nowhere and time is dead If I had someone just to listen I'd tell them stories of paradise When I was young I crossed an ocean Crossed an ocean oh, so far away Cosmic circus, instant passions I found a way for me to make it pay Well let me guess now, my little monkey You love your salt and your cigarettes And with your eyes shut you see Valhalla You've lost some fight but you ain't done yet Now come a little bit closer Well ain't that nice You and me girl, between the raindrops Little pieces of paradise Baby, I'm dyin' so let's do some cryin' Let's cherish some sins in the cave Under the rainbow where no one will ever know We'll make such a beautiful place Sure is hot here It's like a jungle Hot enough for life to grow But it's just too much I can't take the hassle There ain't no air and it's time to go We've got the scars to prove us Well ain't that nice All our laughin' and all our cryin' are little memories of paradise
