Death in Paradise

And here we are
Where mirages are all man made
Where dreams can kill
And love is always too late

She's a runaway looking for better days
But no one told her the
Truth about this place
Sand turns to liquor, water turns to wine
You thought different but for
You‚ this isn't paradise
Teardrops that disappear into an ocean
That doesn't really care about you
Everyone wants to be a flower in the desert
But there's only water out there for a few

So here we are
Where mirages are all man made
Where dreams can kill
And love is always too late so here we are
Where mirages are all man made
Some will be able to pay in spades
But for you‚ this isn't paradise

A girl gone rogue with a
Face designed for Vogue
But the beauty's just a
Bandage‚ she's all alone
And if she feels the spotlight
She'll find that some can burn
The game is never-ending once
You get your turn the glitter and fame
And if you turn around, it fades away
You can have it all depending
On if you can pay a high price

So here we are
Where mirages are all man made
Where dreams can kill
And love is always too late so here we are
Where mirages are all man made
Some will be able to pay in spades
But for you‚ this isn't paradise
