lyrics

I grew up in Los Angeles
My mother kept me from the colored kids
There’re some things that just don’t mix
So we moved out of Los Angeles
And drove to Paradise

Mountains wild like upside down jaws
Teeth trying to stab the sky
A Californian Riviera
White girls showing plenty of skin
This is Paradise

The house flooded from the farmers’ mistakes
And the carpet smells like rotten milk
Kathleen’s dancing like an idiot
And all the neighbors moved away
It was Paradise

Kathleen moved to Los Angeles
She needed money for the colored x
Mother died in ’86
While Kathleen was dancing for cash
At Paradise
