Lyrics
PALM TREE PARADISE
Fuller/Scott Krippayne
Everybody?s thin and getting thinner by the day
Must be something in the air
Anybody here can be a winner so they say
With a little nip and tuck here and there
Aint it lovely, aint it grand
Eating sushi and getting tan
It?s a sexy sacrifice
Living in this care free palm tree paradise
Actors and singers by the thousands migrate to town
And wait on tables and a break
Time to make another first impression and hope for the sound
Of someone saying ?You got what it takes!?
Repeat Chorus (sipping Sapphire in the sand)
It?s a land of dreams and compromise
And a crazy social scene
We got concrete, yoga, Laker Girls
And everything in between
Repeat Chorus (playing Leno with the band)
Doctors, patients, big-wig agents
Sandy beaches, wine and dine
A&R men, our guitar band
Praying someday we?ll get signed
Big auditions, premonitions
Vintage t-shirts, smoggy sky
Botox, implants, it?s your big chance
In this palm tree paradise
It?s my home now, found my cash cow
Bought a house up in the hills
Takes a little getting used to
But I think I?ll stay and pay the bills
