The Prisoner of Paradise

Craig Goldy, Dio

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 can this 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 see
Cover me up with the ocean then I'm free
The prisoner of paradise
