Mario (your Own Way To Paradise) Lyrics - Singles - Bow Wow Wow

Mario was a halfbreed man, he used to make out, he was poor 

Mario's mum had him under her gun, ''cause her white side did him more 

Torn between two loyalties, leaving dad alone at home 

Torn between two loyalties, leaving dad alone at home 

[Chorus:] 

There's only one thing I say, you've got to live day by day 

You got to find your own way to throw the dice 

You got to prove that you're tough, to take the smooth with the rough 

There's only one way you'll get to paradise 

Mario and his mother ran so far, so far away 

Daddy got out his shotgun and went to hunt them the very next day 

Finally caught up with them, said "I'm gonna shoot you down, my boy" 

Mother said, "No, don't do that, pa, you're gonna kill my only joy" 

Anger flew and shot in two, their only son, their little boy 

Anger flew and shot in two, their only son, their little boy 

chorus repeats 4x 

There's only one thing I say, you got to find your own way to throw the dice 

There's only one thing I say, you got to find your own way to paradise
