st vincent - paris is burning lyrics

Loading...

i write to give word the war is over
send my cinders home to mother
they gave me a medal for my valor
leaden trumpets spit the soot of power

they say, “i’m on your side
“when n-body is, ’cause n-body is
“come sit right here and sleep
“while i slip poison in your ear”

we are waiting on a telegram
to give us news of the fall
i am sorry to report
dear paris is burning after all

we have taken to the streets
in open rejoice revolting
we are dancing a black waltz
fair paris is burning after all

enclosed in this letter there’s a picture
black and white for your refrigerator
sticks and stones have made me smarter
it’s words that cut me under my armor

they say, “i’m on your side
“when n-body is, ’cause n-body is
“come sit right here and sleep
“while i slip poison in your ear”

we are waiting on a telegram
to give us news of the fall
i am sorry to report
dear paris is burning after all

we have taken to the streets
in open rejoice revolting
we are dancing a black waltz
fair paris is burning after all

dance poor people, dance and drown
dance fair paris to the ground
dance poor people, dance and drown
dance fair paris, ashes now

dance poor people, dance and drown
dance fair paris to the ground
dance poor people, dance and drown
dance fair paris, ashes now

dance poor people, dance and drown
dance fair paris to the ground
dance poor people, dance and drown
dance fair paris, ashes now
