Lyrics

When I see a couple of kids And guess he's fucking her and she's taking pills (pills) Or wearing a diaphragm (diaphragm) This is paradise (-dise)

When I see a couple of kids And guess he's fucking her and she's taking pills (pills) Or wearing a diaphragm, I know (diaphragm) This is a paradise (-dise)

When I see a couple of kids And guess he's fucking her and she's taking pills (pills) Or wearing a diaphragm (diaphragm) I know this is paradise Paradise (-dise)

When I see a couple of kids And guess he's fucking her and she's taking pills (pills) Or wearing a diaphragm (diaphragm) I know this is paradise Paradise (-dise)

I have professed a lifelong sympathy With the downtrodden The victims of war Or tyranny Or want

All too soon Succès de scandale Tertiary syphilis Went mad Knifed mother At dinner one evening Incarcerated In an asylum Died a few months later in a straightjacket Died a few months later in a straightjacket Died a few months later in a straightjacket Died a few months later In a straightjacket
