Paradise West

A sixteen hundred packed with angry young men
Came burning down mainstreet 
I touched the epiphone that hung on my hip 
It knew the sound of my heartbeat 
But turning the corner in a twisted heap 
They pulled some bodies 
From an upturned Ford 
Some kid looked at me and said it's only life 
Might as well use it while we're young 
Might as well use it while we're young 
 
I queued with some friends outside the ABC one 
To see the killer with no name 
Yeah De Niros so great, and you know last week 
I saw the universe in flames 
But it's always the same like Citizen Kane 
Y'end up with nothing and you leave for home 
Talking and kicking coke cans in the street 
As Fu Manchu Looks on 
As Fu Manchu Looks on 
 
And I thought they must think I'm crazy 
The things I'll see for fun 
Then in my mind I saw the enemy 
And I wasted him with my gun 
 
I thought of my brother working Heathrow 
Flying engines in the night 
Learning every part he'll be through in years 
When I'm signed on for life 
Lying here waiting for a hero to rise 
But a lazy man lies back instead 
No one hears the young man when he's alone 
Planning to kill someone 
Planning to kill someone 
 
And I thought it must be me who's crazy 
The things I'll do for fun 
Choosing poison to get to paradise 
Paradise west one 
 
And I thought it must be me who's crazy 
The things I'll do for fun 
Choosing poison to get to paradise 
Paradise west one
