Artificial Paradise - Live 1983

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 nobody really there
Then I know I'm kidding myself, I realise
I'm living in an artificial paradise

Plastic state of mind, superficial clothes
Just living in a vacuum, close to zero
Sometimes I kid myself, then I realise
I'm living in an artificial paradise

Yeah thanks friends, it's good to be here in Eureka
First time I've ever being here
Heard a lot about
And here you are and here I am
A love abundant outta here
Besides Christine over here, I brought some electronic gadgets with me
It's a, some people thought I was maybe playing with a tape recorder or something
I'm not really playing with a tape recorder, hahaha, may sound like that
This electric drum machine as invented by Rodger Lin

And they take drums and put 'em on a digital recorder and put 'em on a digital chip
And they put 'em in this box here and I'm programming it
And I'm trying to play base battles, you know, I'm trying
And of course Christine trying to play the guitar
And Jefferny's working up over here
And we'll like to invite you all up to dance if you like
It's more fun that way and we'll gonna do a little song now for we got a new album out
