Artificial Paradise
Artificial Paradise -J.J.Cale
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
