| PARADISO, THE CHAMELEONS
|
| I recall a closing door, and I remember
|
| Seeing shadows cross a stained glass sky
|
| Long before the strangers came down to steal our clothing
|
| And our consciences and long before
|
| Eyes were empty, hearts were cold
|
| «GUITAR»
|
| We’ll watch the rattlesnakes slide
|
| Slowly swerve into view
|
| To tease and tantalize
|
| To sucker your senses and spit out the pieces
|
| magazine girl
|
| She was living in a different world
|
| Or is it a he?
|
| Pull back the curtain my son
|
| I look around, the color has gone
|
| And slowly darkness descends upon me
|
| Paradiso, I know you lied, that much is clear…, to me
|
| «GUITAR»
|
| Well the serpent 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 is wicked
|
| Oh, she is wild
|
| ¿ Her eyes are open?
|
| Pull back the curtain today
|
| I look aroundly
|
| And the color is gray
|
| Gray as the ghost town that towers above me
|
| Paradiso, I know you lied, that much is clear…, to me
|
| «GUITAR»
|
| 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
|
| Their eyes were empty, hearts were cold
|
| «GUITAR»
|
| So, dance this final dance with me
|
| I’ll wrap my sting round my spine
|
| Will poison wash away the fear
|
| Wipe this world from my mind?
|
| Hey! |
| Look up, what can you do?
|
| I looked around the color was blue
|
| Wise up, It’s in your head
|
| I looked around me and the color is red
|
| Red as the words that I read on the wall
|
| Paradiso, kingdoms rise, so must they fall
|
| And only ashes remain in the end… Oh!
|
| Paradiso, I know you lied, lies without end
|
| I’ll see it again and again and again;
|
| see it again and again and again…
|
| Paradiso…, paradiso… |
