See You In Paradise Lyrics

Michael Zapruder See You In Paradise

All the lights are on
The roadies are standing around
Clearing off the stage and packing up the show
A thousand high school kids have left the stands
They're outside holding hands
See you in paradise

Someone shot you on the stage
It left the taste of powder in my mouth
He pushed up through the screaming teens
Who were here today
And he sent you on your way
See you in paradise

You said we'd hold on
Hold on to them yesterdays

The bus don't run this late
I walk and jam my hands down in my coat
The autumn leaves go round in the wind
As I walk through the dark
You left me in New York
I'll see you in paradise

Yeah, we're gonna hold on
Hold on to them yesterdays

Now the summer's gone again
I guess everybody's back in class but me
I went back to our old school
It was torn down
So I stood there on the playground
See you in paradise
