Dio The Prisoner of Paradise song lyrics

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 this can 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 sea

Cover me up with the ocean then I'm free

The prisoner of paradise
