A little bitter
A little sweet
That's how I like my life to be
I'll take it neat
Bitter sweet
That's how I see the world
I like the rain
I like the dark
I like the mornings in the park
The summer heat
Bitter sweet
That's how I see the world
Oh let's go
Let's go
To paradise, Jack
Paradise, Jack
Let's go
Let's go
To paradise, Jack
Paradise, Jack
I got the sorrow
I got the smile
I got a box under the stars
Shoes on my feet
Bitter sweet
That's how I see the world.
I got the joke
I got the twist
I got a lazy afternoon
I'm a man over the moon
Man of the world
Oh let's go
Let's go
To paradise, Jack
Paradise, Jack
Let's go
Let's go
To paradise, Jack
Paradise, Jack
Chain me to a tree
Watch me
I'll set myself free
Escape from situations
Houdini would be proud of me
I'll lie around like Byron
And write verses to the moon
I'm the crime and I'm the siren
I'm a fighter in the ring of life
I've got the medals
I've got the scars
I've got a pocket full of hope
I got the beat
Bitter sweet
That's how I see the world
And the moon is in my head
The moon is in my head
The moon is in my head
You, unbelievably small
Bang your hands on the wall
Say "To Hell with them all"
Say "To Heaven with you"
Me, what will become of me?
Wading into the sea
Water way past my knees
Swallowing oceans is my speciality
You, like a trembling bird
Hanging on to each word
Crawling out of my sight
Oh how spite makes might
Me, crass stupidity's pawn
Kept us shouting till dawn
Old memories torn
Wishing I'd never been born
(You're losing it, losing it, losing it)
And you, Jack of Diamonds maybe
But the Ace ever me
With each turn of the card
Ever hardening heart
Me, smiling one moment
Crying the next
Building up to explosions
That leave me shipwrecked
You, stubborn brazen and wild
Unpredictable child
Emotional blackmail
Always destined to fail
(You're a failure in love, you're a failure in love)
Me, saying things I regret
I don't want to stop yet
Got to make you break down
Got to make you break uncontrollably down
You, rhinoceros skin
Never, never give in
Never, never giving
Hurts so to see me win
(You're always unforgivably stubborn)
Me, yes a cancer you tell
With the softest of shells
Always ending the same
Taking all of the blame
I'm taking all of the blame
(This is the last time
This is the last time)
Traumas, traumas, traumas, traumas, traumas
