lyrics

PARADISE

I walked past shops and poles and I kept to my controls
And the world is turning, turning under me
Its dreams will wake up wrong and it sings a foolish song
But it’s our world the only world that’s meant to be

Let me tell you we are here in Paradise
Don’t you know that we are here in Paradise

Our plans lost in our breath and we die before the death
That is watching ever watching through its door
How could you tell such lies underneath these deep sea skies?
How could you let me, let me down once more?

The empire of pain colonising your brain
Is not the world, is not the world you owe your time
And the lives that whisper when will we escape and come again
Are not the lives that ever live except in mime

When your mirror’s clouding over and the wind spits out its ash
And September’s slipping sliding into heat
Just remember all the days that you blessed inside your maze
And the precious, precious life you found complete

You’re asking me for nothing when you know that I can give
Everything that’s left behind beneath my skin
And I can see inside your smile you have known for a long while
That there’s nothing left to do except begin

The traffic and the birds and the people lost for words
As they travel feeling travel in their hearts
They board their tainted trains with their losses and their gains
Needing nothing to go on and play their parts

The hands that long to touch and the hearts that love too much
And the lips don't say enough of what they know
Tomorrow brings its knives and the blood beats through our lives
And there’s nowhere else that we would dream to go
