Lyrics
You can’t lose either way
‘cause you’re gonna lose either way,
it doesn’t matter what you want
‘cause you always get what you want
when you want what you get,
so it matters what you get
Get me a shooter in Paradise,
by my body, place my lover’s lucky pair of dice,
she was grateful, she didn’t need hope,
I’m grateful for my killer’s scope,
gun me down by the Flamingo
where a star fell long ago
Came home last night,
no sign of life
but a baby crying
and the news saying she’s been dying,
I looked low, I looked high
I looked straight into our baby’s eyes
Shoot me in Paradise,
by my body place my lover’s lucky pair of dice,
like her, I don’t easily scare,
on Christmas Day, we broke through the door
of a church and screamed, “no more,”
we blinded their ears and deafed their eyes
with the power of rock in the house of the unkind
Shot in Paradise
by my body lay my lover’s lucky pair of dice
