The joker left the ballroom queen
And now he’s tryin’ to fix his broken dreams
In foreign starry nights
But the ballroom queen stays restless
She stumbles on the floor
The mirror ball has stopped to turn
What’s humming through the hall?
The noise of more than a decade
Oh I still can feel it’s weight and it’s getting late tonight
I chase the ghost who stole my sleep
You know once when we were wild
These days we used to ride the wave
That took us and left us kind of swaying
But I stranded on an island and it feels like I’m fraying
This brings back a friend at a gas station saying
Welcome to paradise
We've got chocolate and soda
And in artificial light, the prom of the loners
Sparks spray through the sky and a princess is waiting
My very paradise
And my hobo friend is saying
Could this be the last sunset in earth!?
The joker is still out of sight
He’s chasin down the coastline roads
Tryin’ to catch what he once threw away
Back in his wasteful days
The velvet haze slowly descends
But now I fear to see your face again
Oh my dearest friend, I’m riding alone again
And the pulse of time, continuously beating
While a voice inside my tv is quietly repating
Welcome to paradise
We've got chocolate and soda
And in artificial light, the prom of the loners
Sparks spray through the sky and the princess is waiting
In my very paradise
And my hobo friend is saying
Could this be the last sunset in earth!?
And the joker hides somewhere
While I’m standing alone in the surf
