Dio - Prisoner of Paradise Lyrics

Bring me down
Drag me away from heaven
But look out!
Angels guard the door
We all choose pain if pleasure is ordinary
Then we beg for more and more and more
Oh lock me up in an institution and throw away the key
Then I'm free

The prisoner of paradise
Take me down,
I've gone too high, so hurry!
How this can be real?
I paid for the ride
And got wishes for eternity
And here's one more - I wish that you would steal them.
Tie me down and don't believe me
If I say I'm free, it's still me
The prisoner of paradise

Bring me down
If I could start all over, would I do the same?
Oh I'd try for a while, then hunger for the recipe.
And all I'd hear is 'Isn't it a shame?'
Oh wrap me up in some chains and you can push me out to sea
Cover me up with the ocean, then I'm free
The prisoner of paradise
