Every day I see a rich man in a poor man's disguise
He's counting on the future while the past plays on his mind
Well, once when he had diamonds replaced in his eyes
He couldn't see so well, but ooh, how they shined

And when they pull the shutters down and throw up in the dark
He finds that all the dogs outside bite much worse than they bark

Here we are living in paradise
Living in luxury
Oh, the thrill is here but it won't last long
You'd better have your fun before it moves along
And you're already looking for another fool like me

Well, place your hand upon your heart and tell me you won't lie
Are you holding out for guarantees before you go to die?
While meanwhile up in heaven, they are waiting at the gate
Saying, "We'd always knew you'd make it, didn't think you'd come this late"

And now it's much too dangerous to stop what you've begun
When everyone in paradise carries a gun

Here we are living in paradise
Living in luxury
Oh, the thrill is here but it won't last long
You'd better have your fun before it moves along
And you're already looking for another fool like me
Looking down upon the earth, you still can't understand
How I can't argue with the man who's got the money in his hand
You talk as if you had no choice, you took all you could grab
But it looks just like a hit, but it does feel just like a slap

You don't have to worry, and you don't have to try
Just lay down your body, it's a lullaby

Oh, here we are living in paradise
Living in luxury
Oh, the thrill is here but it won't last long
You'd better have your fun before it moves along
And you're already looking for another fool like me
And you're already looking for another fool like me
And you're already looking for another fool like me
And you're already looking for another fool like me
And you're already looking for another fool like me
And you're already looking for another fool like me
And you're already looking for another...
