WE DON'T DO PARADISE
© Michelle Krell Malone (ASCAP)

We get the summer calendar in the mail
Greetings from your real estate man,
"Hello, my name is Curtis Hansen
See the places you can go to get a tan"

Glossy pictures, exotic islands
Places you would visit if you could
But to us the sandy beaches, they don't look so good
We're going down to Soho as the crow flies
Thank you for the photos, but we don't do paradise

Uptown Manhattan diner four a.m.
Where people never go to sleep
Night owls talking in the alley
I hear the secrets that they keep

Glossy pictures, exotic islands
Places you would visit if you could
But to us the sandy beaches, they don't look so good
We're going down to Soho as the crow flies
Thank you for the photos, but we don't do paradise

We are part of
Every passion, every fire, every sound
As the city spins around
We look for the grail we've almost found

We're going down to Soho as the crow flies
Thank you for the photos, but we don't do paradise
Thank you for the photos, but we don't do paradise
