Artificial paradise de 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
