This town i'm in can't take no more Decadance 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)
