This town, I'm in can't take no more
Decadence is silly
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
Get back where you are
I can't believe you'd throw it all away
You know you played me for a fool
I'm leavin' now this time you know
That I'll be gone for good, yeah
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Get back where you are
Paris is burning, Paris
Paris is burning
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning, Paris
Paris is burning
