Cruel Youth - Devil In Paradise

I wanna be where the sun don't shine
Where the birds don't sing and the kids don't smile
They say, "I saw the Devil in paradise"
I wanna be where the night is day
Where the roses die and the thorns ain't fake
And they say, "I saw the Devil with a smilin' face"

I'll never go back to california (no, no, no)
I'll never go back to hollywood (no, no, no)
Don't wanna feel no morning sun
Burn my shadow 'till the day is over and done
I'll never go back to hollywood
I'll never go back to california (no, no, no, oh)
I'll never get old in them lonely hills (no, no, no)
It's like the sun got frozen in an ice cold sky
Trapped there laughing when the stars don't shine
I'd die than live for them dollar bills

I wanna be where the sun don't shine
Where the birds don't sing and the kids don't smile
They say, "I saw the Devil in paradise"
I wanna be where the night is day
Where the roses die and the thorns ain't fake
And they say, "I saw the Devil with a smilin' face"
I wanna be where the shotguns spray
Where God gets high and the priests don't pray
And they say, "I saw the Devil with a diamond chain"
I wanna be where the sun don't shine
Where the birds don't sing and the kids don't smile
They say, "I saw the Devil in paradise"

After all that I
After all that I did for you?
After all that I
After all that I did for you?

Sipping French wine with the Devil
"Pretty thing, slip in my ride" says the Devil
Coastin' by the hollywood sign with the Devil
Getting that money on time with the Devil
Mama said, "Don't you go sign with the Devil"
Titties out, sniffin' snow white with the Devil
Clever guys lying, and I'm buying, say i'm "special"
Said he sent the cheque, but tide me over with a bezel
Promised me the penthouse, got me on the lowest level
Running from the repo' when you thought you was a rebel
How they gonna tow you while you sleeping in the rental?
No one gonna know you, better show 'em your potenti-

Pussy! Coochie, cha-cha!
You better show him your pussy, bitch
Before you get your ass blacklisted

After all that I
After all that I did for you?
After all that I
After all that I did for you?

(I feel you)
Thank you so much, you wanna make a donation? Thank you, thank you
Uh, excuse me? Hey, how's it going?
Oh, hey, what's up?
I just wanna say, you're a really wonderful singer
Oh my God, thank you so much
You know, I actually used to be a, a really big fan
