So long my earthly paradise So long to you So long my earthly paradise So long to you 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
