Paradise - Alejandro Escovedo

Did you get your invitation

There’s going to be a public hanging

And the bodies will swing side by side

And it’s just I and I

Can you hear the hyena laughing

As they tear the meat from my bone

And you look so pretty watching

The bodies swing side by side

Going home

Going home

Going home

Did you hear the bells ringing

Or was that just in my head

Thought I heard the angels singing

Their wings brush across my face

Hear the wolves a howling

The crowd it claps for more

And I thought I heard you praying

It’s just the closing of the door
