Prisoners In Paradise Lyrics - Live At Sweden Rock: 30th Anniversary Show - Europe

Julie's got the word today 

She lost her job just one last pay 

Life don't come easy anymore 

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 

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 

Just like prisoners in paradise

Still far from heaven's door 

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 

Jimmy still recalls the night 

When he took his guitar 

And headed on out 

To find the big time 

That was his dream 

He gave up his past 

And made it alright 

But there's something missin' 

In his heart tonight 

Sometimes what you want 

Ain't what you need 

He misses drivin' down to the lake at night 

Photos 

Holdin' his baby in his arms so tight 

Ain't it hard to find illusions 

When you're livin' in a memory 

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 

Prisoners in paradise 

Prisoners in paradise 

We're just prisoners in paradise 

Still far from heaven's door 

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
