Darkened Paradise Lyrics

Verse 1:
I flew here for a bargain souvenir at the markets and
Baskets and artwork, extra stamps in my passport
I've worked hard in my office and read all the brochures
These beaches aren't like they are in the posters
Shower me in roses (?)
Be on the walls of the resort
I hear gunshots, screams and calls
It ain't relaxing at all
I don't wanna see this, hear this, smell this, street kids, beggars diseases
I wanna do as I please
Cocktails, desk chairs, tropical breeze

(Hook)
Exercise a high degree of caution in the streets
Watch your back
Don't get lost in a paradise
Best beware of where you place your feet
Please come back to our mirage of a paradise
We advise you stay indoors, 'cos when night falls
In our darkened paradise
Every dream has a prize

(Verse 2):
You come and go like the tides
You'll never know my mind
Unless you spend the time to meet these friends of mine
In this new best place to spend your time
They're the ones who never smile
But when I told you all the trials of being me (?)
You just looked away and checked the scenery
And what was meant to be a problem
Is all too easily forgotten
And it's so hard to get to the bottom of this conundrum
Please come on in, I left flowers on your pillow to make you feel young again
Please come on in, be my guest
In my uniform all starched, depressed
To impress our visitors, well, everyone will give their all
Because there's a vast difference between sleeping on a bed and on the floor
And as long as you have a ball
And you tell your friends to stay with us
There's an extra dollar in it for me if you make our paradise famous

(Hook)
Exercise a high degree of caution in the streets
Watch your back
Don't get lost in a paradise
Best beware of where you place your feet
Please come back to our mirage of a paradise
We advise you stay indoors, 'cos when night falls
In our darkened paradise
Every dream has a prize
