Radio Paradise (mobile)

After I died, and the makeup had dried, I went back to my place
No moon that night, but a heavenly light shone on my face
Still I thought it was odd, there was no sign of God just to usher me in
Then a voice from above, sugar coated with Love, said, "Let us begin."
You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line
You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line
OK, a new kid in school, got to follow the rule, you got to learn the routine
Woah, there's a girl over there, with the sunshiny hair, like a homecoming queen
I said, "Hey, what you say? It's a glorious day, by the way how long you been dead?"
Maybe you, maybe me, maybe baby makes three, but she just shook her head...
You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line
You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line
Buddah and Moses and all the noses from narrow to flat
Had to stand in the line, just to glimpse the divine, what you think about that?
Well, it seems like our fate to suffer and wait for the knowledge we seek
It's all his design, no one cuts in the line, no one here likes a sneak
You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line
You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line
After you climb, up the ladder of time, the Lord God is here
Face to face, in the vastness of space, your words disappear
And you feel like swimming in an ocean of love, and the current is strong
But all that remains when you try to explain is a fragment of song...
Lord is it, be bop a lu la or ooh poppa do
Lord, be bop a lu la or ooh poppa do
Be bop a lu la

I simply don't remember being this excited. Then as if that wasn't enough Alisson Krauss and Union Station have Jerry "the man of constant sorrows" Douglas with them for Mr Simon's warm up. I had to take my pants off with a spatula I was so excited. [ Reply ]

idavido Apr 13, 2012 - 15:35	Man, I think Paul has truly become a dog that's lost his bite. I really think this last album is weak - I've been tempted to "sucko-barfo more than just this track. Come on Paul clever up!!! I still believe in you. [ Reply ]

Goodness gracious, romeotuma! Are you feeling a bit under the weather today? This is the first negative comment I have ever seen you write. Hope you feel better soon. For the record, I like this album a lot. pax [ Reply ]

ferwoman Nov 13, 2011 - 20:36	Finally heard all the lyrics tonight - hilarious riff on this subject! Love it, Paul's got the perfect sardonic touch. [ Reply ]
ce Oct 13, 2011 - 07:07	The instruments, sound & production value here are a lot better than the actual song or Paul's singing... [ Reply ]
lshinkawa Sep 11, 2011 - 18:46	Love this album. He's still got it. [ Reply ]
GuiltyFeat Sep 05, 2011 - 00:02	I like this album a good deal and he was on sparkling form when he played here in Tel Aviv last month. He seemed to be enjoying his band and the scorching evening heat. Not bad for a man in his 70s. [ Reply ]
