Another Night In Paradise

Another night in paradise the cobbles being tread, The only source to see of course my habit remains fed,Another nights denial where my switch is set to off,Another night asking myself when is enough enough,Two decades plus under my belt and still wake everyday,convinced next week ill get the strength to stand and walk away,The seedy kerb side crawlers the pretence and the lies,The looks that burn right through as they undress me with their eyes,The price tag i attach to myself asks me what on earth,Where you thinking Julie ann its tenfold more you're worth,So twenty five years later when I've paid a hefty price,I still get read for another night in not so nice.
