SHF Band Trouble In Paradise written By J.D. Souther
Baby I was talking all night long trying to take it home long distance
I guess I lost my connection I heard you slip away
And then it came in loud and clear you only hear what you want to hear
And everyBody here says sonny Boy your on your way
There's trouble in paradise the story don't sound too nice
And you just can't sleep at night in a solid gold room
There's trouble in paradise you never turn out those lights
You just can't close your eyes in a solid gold room
Baby you've been looking at the future and I know you think you found
it
Now you wanna make me a hero put me in a shinny suit
Now I don't know where to put the blame
I guess everybody needs to have a name
But you never get to count the loot
There's trouble in paradise the story don't sound too nice
And you just can't sleep at night in a solid gold room
There's trouble in paradise you never turn out those lights
You just can't close your eyes in a solid gold room
There's trouble
Where the warm winds don't blow
And the stars don't seem to shine so bright
Nearly everybody knows nearly nobody minds
SOLO
You've been hanging at the stage door waving at the limousine
It's the same cat life that we use in grave yard scenes
So tomorrow morning you go Back to school
Acting as if nothing has changed
Well there's no use playing if your winning at a losing game
There's trouBle in paradise the story don't sound too nice
And you just can't sleep at night in a solid gold room
There's trouBle in paradise you never turn out those lights
You just can't close your eyes in a solid gold room
