On The Other Side Of Paradise - The Neville Brothers

I get away from city life

Leave behind trouble and strife

Sweet Lorraine, she’s my best friend, she is my wife

We fell in love all over again

On the other side of paradise

My man, Cool Breeze, he take it easy

He buy a castle where it’s nice and breezy

He work hard for a long, long time

I think of Iree, got peace of mind satisfied with life

On the other side of paradise

I met my brother, black as coffee bean

His smile is bright and his soul is clean

He had the truest eyes I’ve ever seen

I knew right then he was my friend

On the other side of paradise

We fell in love under the stars above

The moon shining bright in paradise

My brother said, please buy me Bami

I’m saving up for a ticket to Miami

Don’t get me wrong, man, I love my home

But money short, cost of living long

And I dream of lights, I dream of your city lights

On the other side of paradise

I get away from city life

Leave behind trouble and strife

Sweet Lorraine, she’s my best friend, she is my wife

We fell in love all over again

On the other side of paradise

On the other side of paradise

On the other side of paradise

On the other side, on the other side

On the other side of paradise

On the other side of paradise

On the other side of paradise

On the other side, on the other side

On the other side of paradise

On the other side of paradise
