Paradise Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm trying not to focus
On the broken glass
With paradise on fire
Yeah, paradise on fire
The flowers on the tile
And Zuma Beach, a zoo
’Cause paradise is on fire
Paradise is on fire
[Chorus]
Blue lights buzzing

Yeah, you're doing so well
You’re not a zombie, you're a yogi
But it takes so much energy

[Verse 2]

I shake my head and grab a broom
Try to sweep up
[Bridge]
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah
[Outro]
I'm hoping none of it mattered
Your pretty flowers soar
I know our day will come
Oh, our day will come
