Mook - Stranger Than Paradise
© 2011 Mook - lyrics by Mike Clancy
on iTunes
surrounded by scholars of a friendly nation
regrets and cigarettes smoked at the train station
thoughts are passed around in commemoration
of friends we will lose to war
dreams will speak just once more
drink to all your sorrows from a rule-bound trance
I grin wide-eyed without taking a glance
the books you throw aside, I take them in advance
to make my mind not feel alone
always waiting for tomorrow when I’m not home
yes, isn’t it nice (yes, isn’t it)
yes, isn’t it nice (yes, isn’t it)
yes, isn’t it nice (to be lost)
to be lost in paradise
live in the foothills of a high class taste
while I’m bare and content, though not quite chaste
days you spend in hiding, don’t think they go to waste
as they build up to shout out full of gall
while the city streets call out for it all
isn’t it nice (yes, isn’t it)
yes, isn’t it nice (yes, isn’t it)
yes, isn’t it nice (to be lost)
in paradise
(yes, isn’t it)
(yes, isn’t it)
yes, isn’t - oh shit (yes, isn’t it)
to be lost
