"Hell in Paradise" is a song by Yoko Ono from the 1985 album "Starpeace". The lyrics are about mankind's perceived idea of hell, despite living in the paradise that Ono considers to be planet Earth. After "Walking On Thin Ice", it was her biggest hit of the 1980s, charting at #16 on the US dance charts. In 2005, the track was revived as part of the ONO remix project, and reached #4 on the same chart twenty years on. Ono went on hiatus after Starpeace, and her 1995 Rising comeback didn't have a single, so this would be her last proper single until 2001's "Open Your Box".
A second 12" promo-only single, Cape Clear, was released from the album Starpeace, featuring on the B-side the "re-edit" of Walking on Thin Ice.
