Karaoké The Other Side of Paradise Glass Animals

When I was young and stupid my love left to be a rock and roll star

He told me

Please don't worry

Wise little smile that spoke so safely

He booked a one-way ticket out west

That's where they make it

Six kids stuck in a bedsit

To sunswept poolside riches

He met a girl who wore Versace

Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery

Gonna be a hoop phenomenon

He's gonna be

Hakeem Olajuwon

He's got a gold Camaro

He said over the payphone

I try to keep my cool but my life turns in slow motion

Bye bye baby blue

I wish you could see the wicked truth

Caught up in a rush

It's killin' you

Screamin' at the sun you blow into

Curled up in a grip when we were us

Fingers in a fist like you might run

I settle for a ghost

I never knew

Super paradise I held on to

But I settle for a ghost

Where I was from in NOLA no one left to be a rock and roll star

He'd stay and treat his lady

Give everything to his new baby

I miss him

Don't you blame me

That boy went stone cold crazy

Caught up in camera lust he's chasin' that pappy pipe dream

I know you don't but I

I know you don't but I still try

My thunder shook him down

My thunder came and shook him down

That girl is gone but I

That girl is gone but I still try

I think it's over now

The bullet hit but maybe not

I feel so fuckin' numb

It hits my head and I feel numb

My body's lookin' wrong

My body's lookin' wrong

My body's lookin' wrong

Bye bye baby blue

I wish you could see the wicked truth

Caught up in a rush

It's killin' you

Screamin' at the sun you blow into

Curled up in a grip when we were us

Fingers in a fist like you might run

I settle for a ghost

I never knew

Super paradise I held on to

But I settle for a ghost
