Youth Warrant – Strange Paradise lyrics

I'm watching the way that the water falls
When you were shaking your hair
Tapping your feet, you're my dancing queen
But you were dancing on air
If this is a dream, well don't wake me up
'Cause I wish I was there
It's a good one, it's a good one, it's a good one

If this is the way that it's got to be
To me it never made sense
'Cause I prefer a philosophy
To a white picket fence
But they say, the real world calls me now
So I sit at this desk
And wait for it, and wait for it, and wait for it

Say hello to goodbye
The time never feels right
The hard days and long nights
It's a strange kind of paradise

I don't feel young but I don't feel old
I'm always stuck in between
Never do what I want I just do what I'm told
I obey the machine
But that ain't a life, I don't feel so alive
If you know what I mean
So I drink one, and I drink one, and I drink one

Say hello to goodbye
The time never feels right
The hard days and long nights
It's a strange kind of paradise

When you want to run
And you don't feel like waking up
When the days turn to nights
Raise a toast to the sky
What's the point of a life
If you don't feel alive?
Don't wait for it
Don't wait for it

Say hello to goodbye
The time never feels right
The hard days and long nights
It's a strange kind of paradise
