Giving paradise
Didn´t give paradise
I didn´t give paradise
No heaven from my hand´s no!
I could have done better
But not with you sweets
Was it god or a demon that told me
I didn´t need to furnish paradise?
Shall I pretend
To know
Oh what I could have provided
Take it out of my flesh sweet hearts
For a man wanting good am I
For a man wanting right is this
Did I offer as much as I suffer
Take it out of me there´s little left
Father do I dwindle do I offer you less
Your definition of satisfactory
I didn´t give paradise
Will you show me hell thus?
