Birds Of Paradise

Don't let the fear in

Don't let the hatred through the door

And the fever, like a spider, walk your skin

Can you still hear him?

Still preaching science at the screen

While the doctors try to cover the sin

Oh it's a mad world honey

And this crazy little man keeps spinning it and spinning it again

Don't let the fear in

Don't keep your naked little heart, trapped, beating in the cage its in

We're just two cats sitting on a hot tin roof

We're just two young hearts running down the back streets like we never went to school

We're just soldiers fighting in a war against our own advice

We're just birds of paradise

Beyond the white light

You don't know if heavens in your mind

And if hell is just a twinkle in your eye

You've led a short life

Short from the moment your were born

To the moment that the sun filled the sky

Remember long nights honey?

When we were kids and love was ours to find

You've led a short life

Not even Valium can kill that k k k k kick inside

We're just two cats sitting on a hot tin roof

We're just two young hearts running down the back streets like we never went to school

We're just soldiers fighting in a war against our own advice

We're just birds of paradise

So hold on

I know sometimes this crazy world can tear the flesh from our bones

Please hold on

And when sometimes you're not yourself be glad at least you're someone

Old Soldier

Lead us home

We're just two cats sitting on a hot tin roof

We're just two young hearts running down the back streets like we never went to school

We're just soldiers fighting in a war against our own advice

We're just birds of paradise

We're just birds of paradise

We're just birds of paradise
