Off the top of
A tall building
I'd rather have done it with you

I paint pictures
To remember
You're too beautiful
To put it into words

Your boy's smile


Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was really in love

Like a gypsy
You dance in circles
All around me
And all over the world

In chinatown
Hung over
You showed me
Just what I could do

And I feel like


Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune's
Slipping away

Talkin' about
Time travel
And the meaning
And just what it was worth

And I feel the


Innocence of a child
Everybody has
Something good to say

And I feel like


Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune's
Slipping away

And I feel like


Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune's
Slipping away

And I feel the


Innocence of a child
Everybody has
Something good to say

And I feel the


Innocence of a child
Everybody has
Something good to say

Things I once thought


Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place

So I take my
Good fortune
And I fantasize
Of our leaving
Like some modern-day
Gypsy landslide
Like some modern-day
Bonnie and clyde

When we walked through


Little Italy
I saw my reflection
Come right off your face

On the run again x4
