Lyrics
Artificial Paradise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Many loves in a lifetime,
They seem to go astray
Many people come and go,
They never seem to stay
Sometimes I kid myself,
Then I realise
I'm just living in an artificial paradise
A hundred times,
My hopes and dreams are blown into the air
A thousand times,
It always seems no one is really there
Then I know I'm fooling myself,
I'm not so wise
I'm just living in an artificial paradise
Plastic state of mind,
Superficial clothes
Living in a vacuum, close to zero
Sometimes I kid myself,
Then I realise
I'm just living in an artificial paradise
