Paradise
Bill Ware, Roy Nathanson
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?"
'Cause 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
