Was a long and dark December

From the rooftops i remember

There was snow White snow

Clearly i remember

From the windows they were watching

While we froze down below

When the future′s architectured

By a carnival of idiots on show

You′d better lie low

If you love me

Won′t you let me know

Was a long and dark December

When the banks became cathedrals

And the fog Became God

Priests clutched onto bibles

And went out to fit their rifles

And the cross was held aloft

Bury me in honor

When i′m dead and hit the ground

A love back home unfolds

If you love me

Won′t you let me know

I don′t want to be a soldier

With the captain of some sinking ship

With snow far below

So if you love me Why′d you let me go

I took my love down to violet hill

There we sat in snow

All that time she was silent still

So if you love me

Won′t you let me know

If you love me

Won′t you let me know

Paradise

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo.

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo.

When she was just a girl,

She expected the world,

But it flew away from her reach,

So she ran away in her sleep.

Dreamed of para-para-paradise,

Para-para-paradise,

Para-para-paradise,

Every time she closed her eyes.

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo.

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo.

When she was just a girl,

She expected the world,

But it flew away from her reach,

And bullets catch in her teeth.

Life goes on,

It gets so heavy,

The wheel breaks the butterfly.

Every tear, a waterfall.

In the night, the stormy night,

She closed her eyes.

In the night,

The stormy night,

Away she flied.

Chorus:

I dream of para-para-paradise,

Para-para-paradise,

Para-para-paradise,

Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

She dreamed of para-para-paradise,

Para-para-paradise,

Para-para-paradise,

Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

La-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la.

So lying underneath the stormy skies.

She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

I know the sun must set to rise.

[Chorus x2]

Oh, oh. Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.

[Chorus]

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo...
