savage rose – ticket to paradise lyrics
t-tle: ticket to paradise
artist: the savage rose
i gave away my freedom then
for a ticket to paradise
they promised me a silver coin
and a ticket to paradise
they talked about the dream i had
the rainbow in my eyes
there would be food on the table
enough for everyone
someone to hold my hand
on a hill behind the sun
they promised me an orange tree
in the land of paradise
an empty house to hide in
when the howling wind would rise
i could work for good money
sleep all sunday through
and i thought for a moment
not sure of what to do
i gave away my freedom then
for a ticket to paradise
they promised me an easy ride
on the way to paradise
they talked about the golden streets
and i believed their lies
they helped me with the signature
and saw me to the train
but in the darkness there i heard
the sound of iron chains
i gave away my freedom then
for a ticket to paradise
they promised me a silver coin
and a ticket to paradise
they talked about the dream i had
but now i realize
there is no joy in heaven
only sorrow and pain
cause in the darkness there i felt
the cold cold irons chains
i gave away my freedom then
for a ticket to paradise
don’t give away your freedom now
for a ticket to paradise
i gave away my freedom then
for a ticket to paradise
don’t give away your freedom now
for a ticket to paradise
