Paradise West — текст песни (Billy Idol)

A sixteen hundred packed with angry young men

Came burning down mainstreet

I touched the epiphone that hung on my hip

It knew the sound of my heartbeat

But turning the corner in a twisted heap

They pulled some bodies

From an upturned ford

Some kid looked at me and said its only life

Might as well use it while were young

Might as well use it while were young



I queued with some friends outside the abc one

To see the killer with no name

Yeah de niros so great, and you know last week

I saw the universe in flames

But its always the same like citizen kane

Yend up with nothing and you leave for home

Talking and kicking coke cans in the street

As fu manchu looks on

As fu manchu looks on



And I thought they must think Im crazy

The things Ill see for fun

Then in my mind I saw the enemy

And I wasted him with my gun



I thought of my brother working heathrow

Flying engines in the night

Learning every part hell be through in years

When Im signed on for life

Lying here waiting for a hero to rise

But a lazy man lies back instead

No one hears the young man when hes alone

Planning to kill someone

Planning to kill someone



And I thought it must be me whos crazy

The things Ill do for fun

Choosing poison to get to paradise

Paradise west one



And I thought it must be me whos crazy

The things Ill do for fun

Choosing poison to get to paradise

Paradise west one
