Everybody wants
A piece of paradise
A house upon the hill
With a view of heaven
Now everyone's here
So close together
Paradise is lost
And gone forever
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
(?) streets named after
What's gone for good
The hills above town
Used to be the best place
For starry-eyed lovers
And inspiration
Now it's all paved
Every street's a dead end
And empty summer houses
Stand all along there
(Chorus)
Now there's no trespassin'
There's no goin' back again
Only hope, you remember
The way it was when we head back there
(Chorus)
Everybody wants
A piece of paradise
A house upon the hill
With a view of heaven
