lyrics

Obscured feathered world
Nobody knows
You had a dead man in your closet for a decade or more
A little crazed
But hard to ignore
Up on the stage you’re a monster you’re a ball
Not for the weak
Not for the narrow mind
You’re the revolution of our time

And it’s
Burning
Burning
Down and out in Paris Tonight
Oh it’s
Burning
Burning
Down and out in Paris tonight
Oh it’s burning tonight

You shot an arrow
Made your mark
Left the world gagging snake dancing monarch
In your house
Top of the vogue
You had a dead man in your closet for a decade or more

Not for the weak
Not for the narrow mind
You’re the revolution of our time

And its
Burning
Burning
Down and out in Paris tonight
Oh it’s
Burning
Burning
Down and out in Paris tonight
Oh it’s
Burning tonight

And you left your mark in the night
In the night and you
Left your worries hiding in the dark
And you walk in the shadow
Hiding in the dark
And you’re waiting for your lover to be free

And it’s
Burning
Burning
Down and out in Paris tonight
Oh it’s burning tonight
