Ticket To Paradise lyrics

I gave away my freedom then For a Ticket To Paradise They promised me a silver coin And a Ticket To Paradise They talked about the dream I had The rainbow in my eyes There would be food on the table Enough for everyone Someone to hold my hand On a hill behind the sun They promised me an orange tree In the land of Paradise An empty house to hide in When the howling wind would rise I could work for good money Sleep all Sunday through And I thought for a moment Not sure of what to do I gave away my freedom then For a Ticket To Paradise They promised me an easy ride On the way to Paradise They talked about the golden streets And I believed their lies They helped me with the signature And saw me to the train But in the darkness there I heard The sound of iron chains I gave away my freedom then For a Ticket To Paradise They promised me a silver coin And a Ticket to Paradise They talked about the dream I had But now I realize There is no joy in heaven Only sorrow and pain Cause in the darkness there I felt The cold cold irons chains I gave away my freedom then For a Ticket To Paradise Don't give away your freedom now For a Ticket To Paradise I gave away my freedom then For a Ticket To Paradise Don't give away your freedom now For a Ticket To Paradise
