Lyrics
Paradise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've just set myself on fire
"What a thing to do!" you say
Dressed all in silk and mother of pearl
Wrapped around this whole wide world
I blew apart all the things we've known, watch them slowly burn
Watch of our hearts broken in turn
You'd think by now that we would learn
You asked me once why I can't see
I looked you straight in the eye
I felt I looked beyond your shore to a place on high
"Why a fire?" you may ask
"Why smoke comes out your ear?"
Coz if you could've felt the warmth of my touch you'd been my river of tears
Now that this heart of mine's been burnt, I think of all we've seen
Our worlds so close, drawn blue by love
Ablaze, now me, your queen
