Lyrics

Lords of Long Island

People sit around talking about their friends
Saying something about someone but they don't know when
There's nothing I need here in Paradise
Don't get mad when I say that it's untrue
That it's untrue

Another smoke filled room, when will it end
Yeah, I think I can see you as you pretend
That something's happening here in Paradise
Don't get mad when I say that it's all true
That it's all true

Then something happens in the middle of something
Someone else takes a break
Now that someone is nothing
This new on comes in with the same false grin
Hold onto this light while you can
While you can

They're still sitting around talking about their friends
Saying something about someone but they can't remember when
Still nothing happening here in Paradise
Don't get mad when I say that it's all true
That it's all true

Then something happens in the middle of something
Someone else takes a break
Now that someone is nothing
This new one comes in with the same false grin
Hold onto this light while you can
While you can
