2389
They say you've been poisoned
They say you've closed down
But I saw a light 'neath your door
There's so many rumours on this side of town
Who knows what that one is for
So long my earthly paradise
Glass-topped hotel
I dreamed you on rails of mercury
Drove you to hell
There's pigs in the bedroom and pigs in the hall
They're chewing away at the wax
And a misshapen god in the deckchair outside
Where Josephine used to relax
My earthly cloud-capped mountain home
My angel of the sea
There's nowhere else that I could roam
That means that much to me
So long my earthly paradise
Stranger's hand
Tear the gold off your pinnacles
Understand
The bastards that destroy our lives
Are sometimes just ourselves
But mostly they're invisible
I hope they fry in hell
I hope you fry in hell
So long, my earthly paradise
