Many loves in a lifetime, they seem to go astray

Many people come and go, they never seem to stay

Sometimes I kid myself, then I realise

I'm just living in an artificial paradise



A hundred times, my hopes and dreams are blown into the air

A thousand times, it always seems no-one is really there

Then I know I'm fooling myself, I'm not so wise

I'm just living in an artificial paradise



Plastic state of mind, superficial clothes

Living in a vacuum, close to zero

Sometimes I kid myself, then I realise

I'm just living in an artificial paradise
