The Chameleons - Paradiso lyrics

I recall a closing door, and i remember, seeing shadows cross a stained gla** sky Long before the strangers came down to steal our clothing, and our consciences and long before, eyes were empty, hearts were cold. We'll watch the rattlesnakes slide Slowly swerve into view To tease and tantalise To s**er your senses and spit out the peices Hey magazine girl, she was living in a different world Or is it a he? Pull back the curtain my son I look around, the colour has gone And slowly darkness descends upon me Paradiso i know you lied, that much i see Well the sepent sings his song, to so many sleeping staring eyes Like sheep they sing along And clap in time to a heart that's beating Crazy child, she was wicked, oh she was wild, her eyes are open Pull back the curtain today I look around, the colour is grey Grey as the ghost town that towers above me Paradiso i know you lied, that much is clear, to me I see the poet and the fool Walking hand in hand to school I recall a lonely outcast and i remember, laughing children, it was long before, Thier eyes were empty, hearts were cold. So dance this final dance with me I'll wrap my sting round your spine Will poison wash away the fear, wipe the world from my mind? Look up, what can you do? I looked around the colour was blue Wise up! it's in your head I looked around me and the colour is red Red as the words that i read on the wall Paradiso you can try, so must they fall And only ashes remain in the end Paradiso i know you lied, lies without end I'll see it again and again and again.
