We Sleep in Paris Songtext
von Everything Everything

Each night I lay beneath the Earth
I am tired of feeling powerless
With no edge and no reflected light
There is something in the way of us

Don′t cry now, all the wheels will turn
There'll be bluebirds over you and I
With black brains, they′ll come to save our lives
As our flesh becomes electrified

We sleep in pairs, just waiting


Can you take me away?
Can you stop with the lies?
Are you desperate?
Yes I think I'm desperate...
What's my best bet?
On your deathbed?
Yes I′m on my last legs...
Then you′re desperate

Blaze on me, bird of paradise
Don't be fearful, don′t you close your eyes
Oh sister, keep the hope alive
We can run before they realise

I'm asking you to heal me

Can you take me away?
Can you stop with the lies?
Are you desperate?
Yes I think I′m desperate...
What's my best bet?
On your deathbed?
Yes I′m on my last legs...
Then you're desperate

Can you take me away?
Can you stop with the lies?
