Salt in my pillow Sand in my boots A rusty spoon and laundry chutes All leading up to a prison cell Where the breath turns shallow in a chilly hell The man all laid on starched white sheets He closes his eyes and puts up his feet On the snowy plains of a taut white mattress I asked him where he went and he slowly answered "Paradise, when the sun shines on me Paradise, when you bring the tea Paradise, where I'll stay a while A moment's rest and small relief" In a fragrant alley on the side of the street Where the dogs all grab at scraps of meat Is a girl with eyes that looked like mine 'Til their light was dulled by assembly lines As I came with an offering of homemade bread I buried the hatchet inside my head And asked her the questions she couldn't refuse Her light burned again with nothing to lose and she cried "Paradise, when the breeze comes through Paradise, when I'm missing you Paradise, when the air is clean A moment's rest and small relief" Have I felt the rustling of spring on the wind? Have I tasted the apple of my sin? Is the world to end with a wanton howl? Is my breath still shaky behind my scowl? Have I felt the rustling of spring on the wind? Have I tasted the apple of my sin And laid upon a sturdy limb And felt the air caress my skin and cried "Paradise," when the breeze comes through "Paradise," when I'm missing you "Paradise," when the air is clean A moment's rest and small relief "Paradise," when the sun shines on me "Paradise," when you bring the tea Paradise, where I'll stay a while A moment's rest and small relief A moment's rest and small relief A moment's rest and small relief A moment's rest and small relief A moment's rest and small relief A moment's rest and small relief A moment's rest and small relief A moment's rest and small relief A moment's rest and small relief A moment's rest and small relief A moment's rest and small relief A moment's rest and small relief A moment's rest and small relief Oh-oh-oh Hmm
