Welcome To Paradise Lyrics

i kissed my mother

shook the hand of my brother

and i said goodbye to the woman i loved

it may seem like a madness

to be leaving the love nest

but i'm taking a chance on a place far away 

welcome to paradise

who said you can't live twice

you will find heaven is here on earth

welcome to paradise

did somebody say . . . 

there's a coup coming on

there's a coup coming on

there's a coup coming on

there's a coup coming on

a coup coming on

bad vibrations (there's a coup coming on)

feeling the tension (there's a coup coming on)

no smoke without fire (there's a coup coming on) 

i could smell the danger

never dance with a stranger

but the music took me and soon i was lost

so i questioned a lady

but her answers were crazy

and before i knew i was counting the cost 

welcome to paradise

love it but don't look twice

you'll soon be living in make believe

welcome to paradise

did somebody say . . . 

there's a coup coming on

there's a coup coming on

there's a coup coming on

there's a coup coming on

a coup coming on

somebody help me (there's a coup coming on)

(welcome to paradise)

so much i don't follow (there's a coup coming on)

(welcome to paradise)

i'm not looking for trouble (there's a coup coming on)

(welcome to paradise)

there's a coup coming on

a coup coming on 

i shouldn't have come

no i shouldn't have come

why did i come, hey! 

the clouds were gathering

and the temperature rising

be no turning back all my bridges were burned

then it hit me, jumped up and bit me

now i'm under your spell i can never return 

this is your paradise

now you must pay the price

you should have flown

when the coup was blown

welcome to paradise

did somebody say . . . 

there's a coup coming on

there's a coup coming on

there's a coup coming on

there's a coup coming on

a coup coming on

A band on the run

Annie get your gun
