This town I'm in can't take no more Decadance and sin You were my woman Why'd you have to be so hard and cold [Chorus 1] Paris is burning Want to see it from afar Paris is burning Want to get to where you are My life's in ruin The girl I love She's far away The distant fire Brings memories of the love That I once knew Where are you now Been looking all around And I can't stay Help me now I can't stay Much more before I fade away [Chorus 2] Paris is burning I can see it from afar Paris is burning Wanna to where you are [Solo] I can't believe You'd throw it all away You know you played me for a fool (huh) I'm leavin' now This time you know That I'll be gone for good, yeah [Chorus 2] Paris is burning, Paris Paris is burning Paris is burning I can see it from afar Paris is burning Paris [fade out]
