Paradise Out of Misery

Soft glow, just me and the haze

Rickety chair, lost in my ways

Jack by my side, he's here to stay

Waiting for paradise, come what may

Sitting quiet, with smoke swirling light

Notes drift slow in the fading night

Sing a song that only I can hear

In this moment, free from fear

Ain't nobody bothering me now

Lost in this peaceful, smoky cloud

Jack's laughter whispers in the air

In my solitude, I find my care

Paradise only comes from misery

In my solitude, I find my harmony

Bong in my hand, singing my song

Right here where I belong

Waiting and watching, time slips by

Every puff, a gentle high

Leave me be, just let me be

In this smoky reverie

So I sit, and I sing, in this mellow glow

With Jack, my friend, in the undertow

Paradise, I know, is born from pain

In my quiet, I find my gain
