Superstitious

Julie's got the word today

She lost her job just one last pay

Life don't come easy anymore no

Still strugglin' on by herself

I'm strugglin')

Got a picture of Jimmy there on the shelf

And she looks at him and says "Why did we let it go there "

I know that sometimes baby

We didn't see things eye to eye

But I got just one question

Did we have to say goodbye

Oh just like prisoners in paradise

Still far from Heaven's door

Yeah we had it all but still

Oh oh oh oh)

We wanted more

Oh)

Now I realize that I can't turn back

Oh oh)

The future's here to stay

Oh oh oh)

But hey we're just children of tomorrow

Hangin' on to yesterday

Whoa yeah

Aah

Well Jimmy still recalls the night

When he took his guitar and headed on out

To find the big time yeah that was his dream

He gave up his past and made it alright

But there's somethin' missin' in his heart tonight

Sometimes what you want ain't what you need no no

He misses drivin' down to the lake at night

Holdin' his baby in his arms so tight

Ain't it hard to find illusions

When you're livin' in a memory

Oh just like prisoners in paradise

So close but yet so far

There will come a time

Oh oh oh oh)

No matter who you are

Oh)

When you ask yourself was it right or wrong

Oh oh)

For me to turn away

Oh oh oh)

But hey we're just children of tomorrow

Hangin' on to yesterday

Woah whoa yeah yeah

Prisoners in paradise

Ooh

Prisoners in paradise

Yeah yeah

We're just prisoners in paradise

Still far from Heaven's door

Yeah we had it all but still

Oh oh oh oh)

We wanted more

Oh)

We're just prisoners in paradise

So close but yet so far

There will come a time

Oh oh oh oh)

No matter no matter who you are

Oh)

When you ask yourself was it right or wrong

For me to turn away

But hey we're just children of tomorrow

Hangin' on to yesterday
