Album: Dream Warriors (1986)

Paris Is Burning

This town I'm in can't take no more
Decadence is silly
You were my woman
Why'd you have to be so hard and cold

[Chorus 1:]
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Want to get to where you are

My life's in ruin
The girl I love
She's far away
The distant fire
Brings memories of the love
That I once knew
Where are you now
Been looking all around
And I can't stay
Help me now
I can't stay
Much more before I fade away

[Chorus 2:]
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Get back where you are

[Solo]

I can't believe
You'd throw it all away
You know you played me for a fool
I'm leavin' now
This time you know
That I'll be gone for good, yeah

[Chorus 2]
Paris is burning, Paris
Paris is burning
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Paris [Fade Out]
