This town I'm in can't take no more.
Decadence and sin.
You were my woman.
Why'd you have to be so hard and cold.
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.
Paris is burning.
Want to see it from afar.
Paris is burning.
Want to get to where you are.
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
Paris is burning, Paris
Paris is burning
Paris is burning
I can see it from afar
Paris is burning
Paris
