We're in motion In the open Tonight I'm a mystic Into mischief Well alright, alright I only wanna be with you And I'm hoping that you feel it too It's almost like a dream come true (come true, come true) Hands up in the moonlight Dancin' all through the night I like what it sounds like Keep it goin', keep it tight This side of paradise This side of paradise What's the pattern In the chatter Tonight It's a big mob You're a heartthrob Well alright, alright And I only wanna be with you And I'm hoping that you feel it too It's almost like a dream come true (come true, come true) Hands up in the moonlight Dancin' all through the night I like what it sounds like Keep it goin', keep it tight This side of paradise This side of paradise Hands up in the moonlight Dancin' all through the night I like what it sounds like Keep it goin', keep it tight This side of paradise (oh) This side of paradise Ooh, ooh, oh This side, oh, this side This side, this side of paradise

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ah-ah-ah False start ya sleepy head I'm caught up in the day With my nightdreams And my mistakes Tell your vision, "No, your acting" The little boys go on pretending They're wide awake I'll settle on the dust Settle on the dust But I've got better luck in my head We're just ghosts inside my bed I've got better luck in my head Playing poker with the dead This side of paradise This side of paradise This side of paradise This side of paradise I'm not here nor anywhere I wanna be with you, you're unaware I am a paperweight I fantasise A secret life and place where we hide It feels right I'll settle of the dust Settle on the dust But I've got better luck in my head We're just ghosts inside my bed I've got better luck in my head Playing poker with the dead This side of paradise This side of paradise This side of paradise This side of paradise I don't want to be anywhere else Then anywhere else but here (This is my paradise) I don't want to be anywhere else Then anywhere else but here (This is my paradise) I don't want to be anywhere else Then anywhere else but here (This is my paradise) I don't want to be anywhere else Then anywhere else but here 'Cause I've got better luck in my head We're just ghosts inside my bed I've got better luck in my head Playing poker with the dead This side of paradise This side of paradise This side of paradise This side of paradise

I'm ridin' in the back seat, nine years old Starin' out the window countin' the highway poles And then I get to thinkin' that it don't seem real I'm flyin' through the universe in a '69 Oldsmobile And I wanna know what they're not tellin' But I don't wanna hear no lies I just want something to believe in Aah, it's a lonely, lonely road I'm on This side of paradise I'm ridin' in the back seat, black limousine Starin' out the window at a funeral scene And then I get to thinkin', but it don't seem right I'm sittin' here safe and sound and someone I love is gone tonight I don't wanna know what they're not tellin' I don't wanna hear no lies I just want something to believe in Aah, it's a lonely, lonely road we're on This side of paradise Yeah There ain't no crystal ball There ain't no Santa Claus There ain't no fairy tales There ain't no streets of gold There ain't no chosen few It's just me and you That's all we got, yeah That's all we got to hold on to Yeah, this side of paradise I remember bein' a little boy in the back seat, nine years old Always askin' questions, never did what I was told And then I'd get to thinkin' like I always do We wander 'round in the darkness but every now and then A little light shines through I wanna know what they're not telling I don't wanna hear no lies I just want something to believe in Aah, ooh, it's a lonely, lonely road we're on This side of paradise
