Paradise lost



Just a walk to pass away for a dime
just as broke the lonely bloke
viva las vegas sets the fire slime
sets the flames up in smoke

and hold a gun to shoot
where the lease beckon lessons
whisking up the lottery loot
the shop keepers reckon Essen

im a goner and im goner blow
for fifteen was the fun time
and this seems like so long ago
bow down to my happy chime

when I smile I set the scene
for eternity is forever
and everything iv done has been
and the virgin Mary is my lover
