[Verse 1]
I kissed my mother
Shook the hand of my brother
And I said goodbye
To the woman I loved
It may seem like a madness
To be leaving the love nest
But I'm taking a chance
On a place far away

[Pre-Chorus]
Welcome to paradise
Who said you can't live twice?
You will find heaven is here on earth
Welcome to paradise
Did somebody say

[Chorus]
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on, bad vibrations
There's a coup coming on, feeling the tension
There's a coup coming on, no smoke without fire
There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on
[Verse 2]
I could smell the danger
Never dance with a stranger
But the music took me
And soon I was lost
So I questioned a lady
But her answers were crazy
And before I knew
I was counting the cost

[Pre-Chorus]
Welcome to paradise
Love it but don't look twice
You'll soon be living in make believe
Welcome to paradise
Did somebody say

[Chorus]
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
(Welcome to paradise) Somebody help me
There's a coup coming on
(Welcome to paradise) So much I don't follow
There's a coup coming on
(Welcome to paradise) I'm not looking for trouble
There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on
[Bridge]
I shouldn't have come
No I shouldn't have come
Why did I come, hey?

[Verse 3]
The clouds were gathering
And the temperature rising
Be no turning back
All my bridges were burned
Then it hit me
Jumped up and bit me
Now I'm under your spell
I can never return

[Pre-Chorus]
This is your paradise
Now you must pay the price
You should have flown when the coup was blown
Welcome to paradise
Did somebody say

[Chorus]
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
See the band on the run, Annie get your gun
Welcome to paradise
Welcome to paradise
Welcome to paradise
There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), bad vibrations
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), feeling the tension
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), no smoke without fire
See the band on the run, Annie get your gun
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), help me, help me
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), so much I don't follow
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), I'm not looking for trouble
There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on
(Ooh, can't you help me?)
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), temperature rising
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), temperature rising
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise), temperature rising
See the band on the run, Annie get your gun
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise)
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise)
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise)
There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise)
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise)
There's a coup (Welcome to paradise)
See the band on the run, Annie get your gun
There's a coup coming on (Welcome to paradise)
There's a coup coming on (Welcome to paradise)
There's a coup coming on (Welcome to paradise)
There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on (Welcome to paradise)
There's a coup coming on (Welcome to paradise)
There's a coup coming on (Welcome to paradise)
See the band on the run, Annie get your gun
There's a coup coming on (Welcome to paradise)
There's a coup coming on (Welcome to paradise)
There's a coup coming on (Welcome to paradise)
There's a coup coming on, a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on (Welcome to paradise)
