Paradise is cold

See that rock 'round yonder?
Thats where I met her first,
bathing in the crystal brooke.
Oh, how my heart did thirst!

You see that plot of grass, right there?
Thats where she took my ring.
She accepted my soul inside her own,
and oh, the birds did sing!

Take a long look at those palm trees.
Planted each one of those my self!
Made this my personal paradise,
secluded from everything else.

Look at that tree with our names etched in.
Notice I crossed hers out!?
Wasn't fit to live in my paradise!
Didn't know what love is about!

... and that patch of grass over yonder...
See it's greener than the rest?
Thats where my brother soiled her womb.
It's where they lie at rest.

Get a good look at that mound of rocks;
that's where I buried my dog!
He sat and watched them, time and again,
gave me no warning at all!

Notice that tangle of weeds and brier?
That used to be a garden.
Can't say that I tend it much no more,
cause, Whoa, how they made me harden!!!

You see right here, where I'm missing an arm?
Had no real choice but to do it.
couldn't live with that name on my body no more!
got drunk, took the 'lectric saw to it.

Might as well take a walk to that beach over there.
Hear the roar of that ocean?
Nobody heard them, being dragged that night;
waves drowned out the whole commotion.

No traces of them in my paradise!
Im a very meticulous fellow.
Duck tape turns screams to the faintest of sighs,
as acid changes flesh to jell-o.

Wanna see her picture one more time?
Dont those eyes just pierce your soul!?
got a hankering to dig her up lately!
Without a warm bed, paradise is cold.
