Strange Death In Paradise
Spiralling, falling – a silver machine, from wings of freedom,
silent above
Eyelids were burning, summer sun roasting,
tumbling chrome in the clear blue sky
Brighter than sunshine, for all of our lifetimes
1000 stars turned day into night at the end
Where were you when it fell from the sky?
I saw the movie, I read the reply
In the beginning there was only the word
People were kissing in front of their shadows
Children were playing out in the yard
I am not guilty, I made no difference
I wasn’t born and I wasn’t made on that day
Where were you when it fell from the sky?
I saw the movie, I read the reply
In the beginning there was only the word
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Baza, Baza
I know this ain't no time to be talking.
Yo baby, I'll understand it if you keep on walking.
It's not like I liked you anyway,
it's the way that you swag it and sway.
Reminds me of a girl I used to know back in the Bay.
Coney island girl.
Now come here and don't get mad.
I gave her all I thought I had.
I must live my life alone and never kiss anyone else on the Cyclone.
As crazy as it seems.
I'm having recurring dreams.
You are not there, but she is.
So now split.
Coney Island girl. (4x)
