This Side of Paradise Lyrics

Every fish that swim in the sea, don't eat it
See what you can and you can't do

Give the road a good look over
And make it golden with your common sense
Sold
Give your boy a grip on the shoulder
Build up a totem like a common since
Mold

Like a sinking ship on the ocean

Cover art for This Side of Paradise lyrics by Panda Bear

Changed the lyrics up-top from "Build up a totem like a common sense mold" tp "Build up a totem like a common SINCE mold."

I've noticed that Panda Bear likes to use some puns in his songs, this pun being the difference between the "sense" and the later "since."

These lyrics remind me a lot of his song "Comfy In Nautica" because they don't seem personal, but rather his own words of wisdom he's telling us. He's definitely my favorite lyricist.

Great song! Can't wait for the full length to be released in 2015!
