There's Something Wrong In Paradise - Kid Creole And The Coconuts

On the land beyond the beach

Where the smell of flowers feels the air

There’s a man beyond your reach

There’s no trouble that can touch from there

He’s the ruler of the island, citizens will suffer for

His life

They go hungry everyday, sing to me a case of far-off

Place.

There’s something wrong in Paradise

Now someone’s got to pay the price

I’m sorry sir I can’t be nice, there’s something wrong

In Paradise.

Eating up the grapes and fruits in a garden that’s

Beyond compare

He don’t ever have to move, servants cared up to his

Ev’ry care

He’s so fool and violent wrong, he’s oblivious to Maidens gone

Bits so hungerly and moans, not so distant from his

Safety zone.

There’s something wrong in Paradise

Now someone’s got to pay the price

I’m sorry sir but I’m not blind, there’s something

Wrong in Paradise.

On the land beyond the beach

There the smell of bloodshed feels the air

And a man beyond your reach

He’s asleep and doesn’t seem to care

There’s a banging at his door, it’s the rebel army on Before

Now they’re pretty wrong their way acting so much like

The man they hate.

There’s something wrong in Paradise

Now someone’s got to pay the price

I’m sorry sir I won’t be nice, there’s something wrong

In Paradise

So many wrong in paradise…
