Plastic Paradise Lyrics

I am just a boy

Purity must be destroyed

You have got a gift

Keep it away from the dirt and spit

I used to talk a lot

Until that night in the parking lot

Stable bodies with lost souls

But if you don't grow up, son

You'll pay the toll

Don't forget

You could mean something to yourself

Lying on the couch

As your friends give you dirty looks

You studied the manuals and read the books

Did you ever think

Before you hit the ceiling by your kitchen sink

Did you think it was real

The more you see the less you feel

Time of your life

Your own plastic paradise

Static mind

As the crowd slowly leaves you behind

Don't forget

You could mean something to yourself

Lying on the ground

As you hide behind the smoke screen

Not knowing, not believing everybody can see

Everyone can see

You're not who you try to be

Everybody knows

You live in the shadows

If you open up your mind

There's a place that you will find

We're all gonna bleed

So baby bleed with me
