In Paradise

Everything's changed and it's all for the best And it's all gone according to plan It's out in the open and now it's all over Three cheers for every woman and man Terry and Julie still stand on the bridge But only in our memory Don't look to them to draw a conclusion Just love them and set them free Julie hangs out by the banks of the river Where the garbage all flows to the sea Something's washed up, it's sacrifice to her From the twentieth century She sees the smokestacks and she sees the city She sees the stadium's covered in snow The streets have been cleaned except for the bedrooms Of all the people with nowhere to go Terry will clutch at threads where the rope was As he's free falling fast to the floor But nobody claps because nobody's watching It's his lawyers who get all the applause Time's on the move and I'm on the red-eye Where I'm hoping to find one more song But it's like looking for rain in the river We'd better not leave it too long Terry and Julie, they filled out the coupon They won tickets tonight for the show But it's the aisles in the new stores that beckon As they shine a divine guiding glow The bridge through the city, well it has just crumbled And that link is what kept us all sane The two of them tumble into the river Forget to come up for air again Forget to come up for air again
