10cc — Welcome to Paradise

[Verse 1] I kissed my mother Shook the hand of my brother And I said goodbye To the woman I loved It may seem like a madness To be leaving the love nest But I'm taking a chance On a place far away [Pre-Chorus] Welcome to paradise Who said you can't live twice? You will find heaven is here on earth Welcome to paradise Did somebody say [Chorus] There's a coup coming on There's a coup coming on There's a coup coming on There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on There's a coup coming on, bad vibrations There's a coup coming on, feeling the tension There's a coup coming on, no smoke without fire There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on [Verse 2] I could smell the danger Never dance with a stranger But the music took me And soon I was lost So I questioned a lady But her answers were crazy And before I knew I was counting the cost [Pre-Chorus] Welcome to paradise Love it but don't look twice You'll soon be living in make believe Welcome to paradise Did somebody say [Chorus] There's a coup coming on There's a coup coming on There's a coup coming on There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on There's a coup coming on (Welcome to paradise) Somebody help me There's a coup coming on (Welcome to paradise) So much I don't follow There's a coup coming on (Welcome to paradise) I'm not looking for trouble There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on [Bridge] I shouldn't have come No I shouldn't have come Why did I come, hey? [Verse 3] The clouds were gathering And the temperature rising Be no turning back All my bridges were burned Then it hit me Jumped up and bit me Now I'm under your spell I can never return [Pre-Chorus] This is your paradise Now you must pay the price You should have flown when the coup was blown Welcome to paradise Did somebody say [Chorus] There's a coup coming on There's a coup coming on There's a coup coming on There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on There's a coup coming on There's a coup coming on There's a coup coming on See the band on the run, Annie get your gun Welcome to paradise Welcome to paradise Welcome to paradise There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), bad vibrations There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), feeling the tension There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), no smoke without fire See the band on the run, Annie get your gun There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), help me, help me There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), so much I don't follow There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), I'm not looking for trouble There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on (Ooh, can't you help me?)
