Jenny Lewis And The Watson Twins - Paradise lyrics

The phone, it has been ringing Ringing off the hook And the creditors have said That all of your debts have grown legs And are running off the books Correctional facilities Sure, I'll accept your calls But the tales have grown tall And the till isn't at all And tears are only bread crumbs For the crooks And my paycheck, it is bleeding But it's fight or flight The exit from debt could be the entrance Into paradise What are you doing daytimes? Shooting out your windows, I bet But the flocks of your dreams Know that it's hunting season It's a joke that you'll never get Because wooden ducks, they do not bleed And try as you might The only goose that you'll bite Is the goose egg you call your wife When the bars announce it's closing time And my heart, it is still beating But it's fight or flight The exit from loneliness is not necessarily The entrance into paradise Into paradise Of all the men I've known Who have money I like you the most Because every dollar you invent You're even more hell-bent On risking life and limb for another toast When we were falling into puddles I knew you had it in for me Scraped my face on the ground Until blood was down me From my nose to the hem of my jeans And my heart, it is still bleeding But it's fight or flight The exit from loneliness Could be the entrance into paradise Into paradise
