Lyrics

My workday's been too rough
And this whole week has been tough
Cause I got two jobs on my hands
That my boss doesn't understand
I need them to pay my bills

And the ends never seem to meet
I'm so close to living on the street
Cause my rent is due seems to me it's true
When all the breaks are few
That life is uphill

I'm rolling down paradise, stuck on a line like a disaffected refugee who missed an exit Sign
Rolling down paradise, and I'm just a man caught out of time
Survival shouldn't feel like a crime

My weekend's gone too soon
Cause I like to sleep past noon
I drank away half the night
Till every wrong seemed right
But I'm still not waking up next to you

And then another workday begins
Makes me wonder if I can ever win
I work my fingers to the bone,
Paying interest on a loan
For a house I'm not even in living in

Oh, I'm rolling down paradise, snake eyes alive
Seven come eleven, it's a crapshoot to survive
Rolling down paradise, and I'm running out of roads to drive
I feel like I'm failing to thrive

Rolling down paradise, snake eyes alive
Seven come eleven, it's a crapshoot to survive
I'm rolling down, down, down, down
Running out of roads to drive

I'm rolling down paradise, stuck on the line, like a disaffected refugee who missed an exit Sign
Rolling down paradise, and I'm just a man caught out of time
Survival shouldn't feel like a crime

I'm rolling down paradise
I'm rolling down paradise
And I'm running out of roads to drive

I feel like I'm failing to thrive
I'm rolling down paradise
