I needed some place to spend the night
Found a hotel, I read the sign
It said: this is paradise

I rang the bell and somebody cried
We're waiting here won't you come inside
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
This is paradise

I opened up the door
Yeah, and I lost my mind

One woman came and she touched my hand
Eyes filled with murder and understanding
I was confused til I realized
This is paradise

She showed me 'round, introduced me to
My own reflection, "so glad to meet you"
Everyone's crazy but no one minds
Here in paradise
Here in paradise

She said: "ha ha ha ha"
They said: "ha ha ha ha"
This is paradise
He said: "ha ha ha ha"
They said: "ha ha ha ha"

I tried to thank them and say goodbye
I had appointments and must get going
Then someone yelled "keep him tranquilized"
This is paradise
This is paradise

He said: "ha ha ha ha"
They said: "ha ha ha ha"
This is paradise
He said: "ha ha ha ha"
They said: "ha ha ha ha"

And so I ran away
And I escaped
But why?
