Early sunrise I walk towards the breeze Streets are fractured but I don't miss a beat Golden light reflecting off the sea A broken paradise that once was Venice Beach Was there a time Were you the dream A golden lie I was led to believe Cos it's trouble Trouble in paradise As we're basking in the sunset and the sand Cos it's trouble Trouble in paradise And I'm ready to get hurt Yes I'm ready to get hurt this time California has weathered like a sunset Faded minds are crawling on the beach Where's the beauty, the money and the good times? Promised by the Hollywood elite Oh yeah Was there a time Were you the dream A golden lie I was led to believe Yeah yeah Cos it's trouble Trouble in paradise As we're basking in the sunset and the sand Cos it's trouble In Paradise And I'm ready to get hurt Yes i'm ready to get hurt this time Cos it's trouble Trouble in paradise As we're basking in the sunset and the sand Cos it's trouble In Paradise And I'm ready to get hurt again Trouble In Paradise
