Dave Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP
Remember me, you were a friend of mine,
Restless and young, I'm the one you made love to for the first time.
Now look at you, what you been up to, since I saw you last?
Your hair's a mess, you're half-dressed, you're loaded and you're fadin' fast.
All the dreams, you had of wealth and fame,
You took to the city, what a shame, they're all shattered, now your heart's in pain.
Makin love for a livin', you've given up, all you've got's a heart of stone.
Makin' the most of a sad situation, Paradise Alley's your home.
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone,
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah.
Lookin' back, I still recall the time,
I wonder how in the world was it so easy to be so unkind.
Will you be sorry when you realize the story has to end this way?
Lost in the night, never quite getting used to all the games they play.
You wait in vain, and your heart's in pain,
And dreams are all you have to hold on to.
You're losin' touch and it hurts so much,
To think of all the love I had for you.
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone,
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah.
{Rod - Slide Solo}
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone.
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home.
Paradise Alley, what a place to call your home,
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone, yeah.
{Rod - Solo to fade}I wanna live in THE PRETTY SUN
But DAYLIGHT just makes me NUMB
So I COVER UP my SCARS
With VELVET DRAPES that KILL ROCK STARS
Change my mood
LICK MY WOUNDS
TRUST will lead us to the TRUTH
DROWN myself in MISERY
SLEEP WITH MY ENEMY
DESTROY my DESTINY
Erase the MEMORY... of you
OPEN MYSELF TO REVEAL MY WOUNDS
AND I FIND THE MEMORY OF YOU
I wanna DIE on the DARKEST NIGHT
When there's no one left to FIGHT
fill my bed with LEOPARD FUR
THINK OF YOU INSIDE of HER
SUFFER for my latest SIN
Until I'm HAPPY in my SKIN
OPEN MYSELF TO REVEAL MY WOUNDS
AND I FIND THE MEMORY OF YOU
I ache for you... I ACHE FOR US
I pray for you... I PRAY FOR US
I wait for you... I WAIT
DENY thy LOVER and REFUSE thy NAME
FIRST, LAST and ALWAYS
DENY thy LOVER and REFUSE thy NAME
FIRST LAST and ALWAYS
When will YOU tell ME the TRUTH?
When will YOU tell YOU the TRUTH?
When will YOU tell ME the TRUTH?
When will YOU tell YOU...
My revenge on you will not kill you
It will make you want to KILL YOURSELF
