The Other Side Of Paradise Lyrics - Glass Animals

When I was young and stupid my love 

Left to be a rock and roll star 

He told me please don't worry 

Wise little smile that spoke so safely 

He booked a one way ticket 

Out west that's where they make it 

Six kids stuck in a bedsit 

To sunswept poolside riches 

He met a girl who wore Versace 

Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery 

Gonna be a hoop phenomenon 

He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwan 

He's got a gold Camaro 

He said over the payphone 

I try to keep my cool but 

My life turns in slow motion

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Bye bye baby blue 

I wish you could see the wicked truth 

Caught up in a rush it's killing you 

Screaming at the sun you blow into 

Curled up in a grip when we were us 

Fingers in a fist like you might run 

I settle for a ghost I never knew 

Superparadise I held on to 

But I settle for a ghost 

When I was from n.o.l.a no one 

Left to be a rock and roll star 

He'd stay and treat his lady 

Give everything to his new baby 

I miss him don't you blame me 

That boy went stone cold crazy 

Caught up in camera lust he's 

Chasing that pappy pipe dreams 

Photos 

I know you don't but I 

I know you don't but I still try 

My thunder shook him down 

My thunder came and shook him down 

That girl is gone but I 

That girl is gone but I still try 

I think it's over now 

The bullet hit but maybe not 

I feel so fucking numb 

It hits my head and I feel numb 

My body's looking wrong 

My body's looking wrong 

My body's looking wrong 

Bye bye baby blue 

I wish you could see the wicked truth 

Caught up in a rush it's killing you 

Screaming at the sun you blow into 

Curled up in a grip when we were us 

Fingers in a fist like you might run 

I settle for a ghost I never knew 

Superparadise I held on to 

But I settle for a ghost
