Lyrics with times each line starts in song:
0:27 Sure is cold here and I ain’t lyin’
0:32 Stairs lead nowhere and the time is dead
0:36 If I had someone just to listen
0:41 I’d tell them stories about paradise
0:46 When I was young I crossed an ocean
0:50 Crossed an ocean oh so far away
0:55 Cosmic circus, instant passions
0:59 Found a way for me to make it pay
1:13 Let me guess now, my little monkey
1:17 You love your salt and your cigarettes
1:22 With your eyes shut you see Valhalla
1:26 You’ve lost some fight but you ain’t done yet
1:32 Now come a little bit closer
1:36 Mmm well ain’t that nice
1:40 You and me girl, between the raindrops
1:45 Little pieces of paradise
1:58 Aww, yeah, aww, yeah, aww, yeah
2:16 Baby, I’m dyin’ so let’s do the cryin’
2:20 Cherish some sins in the cave
2:25 Under the rainbow where no one will ever know
2:30 We’ll make such a beautiful place
2:34 SOLO
3:38 Sure is hot here
3:40 Like a jungle
3:42 Hot enough now for life to grow
3:47 But it’s just too much
3:49 Can’t take the hassle
3:51 There ain’t no air and it’s time to go
3:57 Mmmm We’ve got the scars to prove us
4:00 Yeahhh Well ain’t that nice
4:05 And all that laughin’ and all that cryin’
4:09 Little memories of paradise
