Innocents in Paradise
[Verse]
That's a dark street you're running down
It's a street where no one walks alone
It's a cul-de-sac, and it will probably burn
It's so dry, and great if you make it over the wall
Nursing your cuts, you're surprised by the gloved hand
On your shoulder, and it's you or him
No ifs or buts, you'll be broken before you learn to love
[Chorus]
Innocents in paradise, o-ho
Headlong into sacrifice
Innocents in paradise, o-ho
Lighting fires on the ice
[Verse]
That's a bad place you're hiding now
Breaking doors to rest in no-man's-land
It's a house of cards, and it should certainly fall
It's so high, you think you're safer like rats underground
You're hunted for something you don't understand
And you grope for cracks, it's you or them
No ifs or buts, you'll be broken before you learn to love
[Chorus]
Innocents in paradise, o-ho
Headlong into sacrifice
Innocents in paradise, o-ho
Lighting fires on the ice
[Hook]
If Hell is where we go to learn
It might as well be here on Earth
If Heaven is the place we earn
When all our deeds are judged enough
Then should your concrete footsteps stop
To watch this town go down in flames?
You'll feel your feet touch grass again
Could be you'll find you're going sane
[Chorus]
Innocents in paradise, o-ho
Headlong into sacrifice
Innocents in paradise, o-ho
Lighting fires on the ice
[Hook]
If Hell is where we go to learn
It might as well be here on Earth
If Heaven is the place we earn
When all our deeds are judged enough
Then should your concrete footsteps stop
To watch this town go down in flames?
You'll feel your feet touch grass again
Could be you'll find you're going sane
[Chorus]
Innocents in paradise, o-ho
Headlong into sacrifice
Innocents in paradise, o-ho
Lighting fires on the ice
[Hook]
If Hell is where we go to learn (Innocents in paradise, o-ho)
It might as well be here on Earth
If Heaven is the place we earn (Headlong into sacrifice)
When all our deeds are judged enough
Then should your concrete footsteps stop (Innocents in paradise, o-ho)
To watch this town go down in flames?
You'll feel your feet touch grass again (Lighting fires on the ice)
Could be you'll find you're going sane
[Chorus]
Innocents in paradise, o-ho
Headlong into sacrifice
Innocents in paradise, o-ho
Lighting fires on the ice
