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[Chorus]
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Want to get to where you areMy life's in ruin
The girl I love
She's far away
The distant fireBrings memories of the love
That I once knew
Where are you now
Been looking all aroundAnd I can't stay
Help me now
I can't stay
Much more before I fade away[Chorus]I can't believe
You'd throw it all away
You know you played me for a fool (huh)
I'm leavin' nowThis time you know
That I'll be gone for good, yeahParis is burning, Paris
Paris is burning
Paris is burningI can see it from afar
Paris is burning
Paris
