Innocents in Paradise

Lyrics

[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
