Everybody wants a piece of paradise
A house up on the hill with a view of heaven
Now everyone's here so close together
Paradise is lost and gone forever
Chorus:
When we were young we used to walk out in those fields
And run forever in the backyard woods
Now the old trails disappear in neighborhoods
With streets named after what's gone for good
The hills above town used to be the best place
For starry eyed lovers and inspration
Now it's all paved
Every street's a dead end
And empty summer houses stand all along them
Chorus
Now there's no trespassing
There's no going back again
I only hope you remember
The way it was, what we had back then
Chorus
Everybody wants a piece of paradise
A house up on the hill with a view of heaven
