Lyrics
Shake it off, dry your eyes, don't lose track, don't think twice
Now you're goin' back to the city, where it can be so hard to be
Happy as you've been these weeks up in the country here with me
It's quite a jungle down there, a world that's gone all wrong
That why I wrote for you this pack of songs
So when you face the crazy throng..
Shake it off, dry your eyes and listen to these songs from paradise
Don't lose track, don't think twice, just utilize these songs from paradise
You found peace up in these mountains, you remembered who you are
Don't forget it whatever happens, that alone will get you far
It's a real jungle down there, easy to lose your way
So take these songs along with you today
And when bad stuff gets in your way
Shake it off, dry your eyes, and listen to these songs from paradise
Don't lose track, don't think twice, just utilize these songs from paradise
It's alright, just be wise, and take along these songs I wrote for you
In paradise, oh yeah
What you discovered you'll be tempted to completely forget
At those times give these songs a good listening to
I swear you won't regret it
Markets crashing, things are burnin', what the hell you gonna do?
But recall what you were learning far from all that hullabaloo
The peace inside you knew here, it's always there in you
Just tap it baby and then let it pull you through
And if you start to feelin' blue
Shake it off, dry your eyes, and listen to these songs from paradise
Don't look back, don't think twice, just utilize these songs from paradise
Stand up, re-humanize and dance along with songs from paradise
It's alright, just be wise, and take along these songs I wrote for you
In paradise, oh Yeah, songs from paradise
And when bad stuff gets in your way
Shake it off!
