Pretty people pretty cars 
Living in the lap of luxury 
But this precious fantasy 
Seems so close when it's so far from me 
Tell me where to get in line 
Show me how to change my luck this time 

People turn their backs on you 
On the streets in paradise 
When you're not the chosen few 
It's hot as hell and cold as ice 
Everyday's another fight 
Living on the streets in paradise 

Come on 

All that glitters isn't gold 
Promises and dreams can get so old 
I know what this game's about 
People chew you up and spit you out, yeah, yeah
I need some kind of a sign 
Can't seem to get into this dream of mine 

People turn their backs on you 
On the streets in paradise 
When you're not the chosen few 
It's hot as hell and cold as ice 
Everyday's another fight 
Living on the streets in paradise 

There ain't no sacrifice 
That I won't make, I'll pay the price 
Oh no, I won't think twice 
Nothing comes cheap in paradise 

Tell me where to get in line 
I can't seem to get into this dream of mine 

People turn their backs on you 
On the streets in paradise 
When you're not the chosen few 
It's hot as hell and cold as ice 
Everyday's another fight 
Living on the streets in paradise 
People turn their backs on you
When you're not the chosen few 
It's hot as hell and cold as ice 
Everyday's another fight 
Living on the streets in paradise 
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na [repeat to fade]
