Prisoners In Paradise

I want to learn how to fly
 I want to be respected
 I want to get lucky
 I want to get out of this dump
 I just want to watch TV
 I want to be loved
 I want to be different
 I want a brother and sister
 I'd just rather be forgotten
 I want to save the world
 I want to be understood
 I want to be rich
 Man, I just want to be somebody

 Hmm, yeah
 Julie's got the word today
 She lost her job just one last pay
 Life don't come easy anymore, no
 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 there?"
 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 somethin' 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
 Whoa-whoa, yeah-yeah

 Prisoners in paradise, hmm
 Prisoners in paradise, yeah-yeah
 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
