Paradise Fell by Kaia Kater Lyrics
[Chorus]
Paradise fell and the tenements grew swept my soul across the avenue
Paradise fell and the tenements grew the tenements grew
Paradise fell and the tenements grew the tenements grew
[Verse 1]
I’m a real live wire, I keep my suffering slow
You’re a child of fire, and the Holy Ghost
But we keep our hand close, and we play on out
We let it play on out
In the mother’s breast and the father’s bone
In that city of gold with revelations unknown
Parts in temperance grey
You could live that way, you could live that way
That needle rides high on the bruised up tracks
Like a bitter train along the saviour’s back
We repented in quiet
Silence in the Psalm, silence in the Psalm
[Chorus]
Paradise fell and the tenements grew swept my soul across the avenue
Paradise fell and the tenements grew the tenements grew
Paradise fell and the tenements grew the tenements grew
[Verse 2]
I’ll dip you low and far into the depths of time
And scan the waves along the west coastline
‘Til you come up for air
Glory everywhere,glory everywhere
So who’s your maker now?
Who’s your maker now?
The sultan king or the velvet sow?
Just keep on driving that wheel
And count your steps out loud, count your steps out loud
Weight of the withering vine in this concrete boat
Close your eyes and get your coat
Get you an honest job
At Peter’s gates, or a cigarette shop
[Chorus]
Paradise fell and the tenements grew swept my soul across the avenue
Paradise fell and the tenements grew the tenements grew
Paradise fell and the tenements grew the tenements grew
Paradise fell and the tenements grew swept my soul across the avenue
Paradise fell and the tenements grew the tenements grew
Paradise fell and the tenements grew the tenements grew
[Verse 1]
I’m a real live wire, I keep my suffering slow
You’re a child of fire, and the Holy Ghost
But we keep our hand close, and we play on out
We let it play on out
In the mother’s breast and the father’s bone
In that city of gold with revelations unknown
Parts in temperance grey
You could live that way, you could live that way
That needle rides high on the bruised up tracks
Like a bitter train along the saviour’s back
We repented in quiet
Silence in the Psalm, silence in the Psalm
[Chorus]
Paradise fell and the tenements grew swept my soul across the avenue
Paradise fell and the tenements grew the tenements grew
Paradise fell and the tenements grew the tenements grew
[Verse 2]
I’ll dip you low and far into the depths of time
And scan the waves along the west coastline
‘Til you come up for air
Glory everywhere,glory everywhere
So who’s your maker now?
Who’s your maker now?
The sultan king or the velvet sow?
Just keep on driving that wheel
And count your steps out loud, count your steps out loud
Weight of the withering vine in this concrete boat
Close your eyes and get your coat
Get you an honest job
At Peter’s gates, or a cigarette shop
[Chorus]
Paradise fell and the tenements grew swept my soul across the avenue
Paradise fell and the tenements grew the tenements grew
Paradise fell and the tenements grew the tenements grew
