Paradise Bird

"Paradise Bird"

When poison arrows strike me. Words hurled to hurt and spite me. I ask myself why you hurtin’ so bad.

Your words are full of themselves. My bubbles burst like bombshells. I ask myself why I ask myself why.

You fell in my arms, Paradise Bird. Lean back in my arms, Paradise Bird. One glimpse of those dark eyes. The merest hint of a bare thigh. It should come as no surprise, Paradise Bird.

Little diamond flawed and flattered. Long nails, those talons tattered. I ask myself was it all in my head.

Sometimes when you looked unto me, a rush of feeling near consumed me. I ask myself why I ask myself why.

You fell from my arms, Paradise Bird. And I got good arms, Paradise Bird. When nothing else mattered. Reality shattered. Even my visions were scattered, Paradise Bird.

I won't write this song completely. Leave you space to fill so sweetly. I ask myself why I ask myself why.

...fall back in my arms, Paradise Bird.
