Paolo Where have you gone Have the spirits found you You were one of their own Paolo You could see him The man in the tall hat Brown, with a wide brim Always standing there Watching by the door I think you always knew what he was waiting for Paolo Understanding my heart was true With the lenses of contact you could see through You could tell me what I should do Paolo I've seen evil It's worn me down And I would have made gains if you'd been around In the darkness where you are now Paolo You loved Godard Black holes and light years Absintho and cars Paolo Fragile but sure Hot strains of genius you couldn't endure
And when visions burned equations in your mind You'd drown your reckoning in cigarettes and wine Oh but ... Paolo Understanding my heart was true With the lenses of contact you could see through You could tell me what I should do Paolo I've seen evil It's worn me down And I would have made gains if you'd been around In the darkness where you are now Paolo Wherever you are Say a prayer for me I've been dancing with Monsters perilously Some so subtle, only you'd see Paolo I've seen evil It's worn me down And I would have made gains if you'd been around In the darkness where you are now In my darkness where you are now
