I want to be your lover, But your friend, is all I'll stay. I'm only half-way to paradise, So near, yet so far away. I long for your lips to kiss my lips, But just when I think they may, You leave me halfway to paradise, So near yet so far away. Bein' close to you is almost heaven, (heav-en) But seein' you can do just so much. It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure, (trea-sure) And that my heart is forbidden to touch So put your sweet lips close to my lips, and tell me That's where they're gonna stay, Don't leave me half way to paradise So near yet so far away, So near yet so far away, So near yet so far away, So near yet so far away.

Dear mother, can you hear me whinin'? It's been three whole weeks since that I have left your home This sudden fear has left me tremblin' 'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own And I'm feelin' so alone Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes Some call it slums, some call it nice I want to take you through a wasteland, I like to call my home Welcome to paradise A gunshot rings out at the station Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own It makes me wonder why I'm still here For some strange reason, it's now feelin' like my home And I'm never gonna go Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes Some call it slums, some call it nice I want to take you through a wasteland, I like to call my home Welcome to paradise Dear mother, can you hear me laughin'? It's been six whole months since that I have left your home It makes me wonder why I'm still here For some strange reason, it's now feelin' like my home And I'm never gonna go Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes Some call it slums, some call it nice I want to take you through a wasteland, I like to call my home Welcome to paradise Oh, paradise
