Everybody wants A piece of paradise A house upon the hill With a view of heaven Now everyone's here So close together Paradise is lost And gone forever When we were young We used to walk out in those fields And run forever In the backyard woods Now the old trails disappear In neighborhoods (?) streets named after What's gone for good The hills above town Used to be the best place For starry-eyed lovers And inspiration Now it's all paved Every street's a dead end And empty summer houses Stand all along there (Chorus) Now there's no trespassin' There's no goin' back again Only hope, you remember The way it was when we head back there (Chorus) Everybody wants A piece of paradise A house upon the hill With a view of heaven
