Paraíso - Bloc Party

It was a look that I understood

In another life, maybe I would have been yours

Pictured in white standing by the bar

Like a wrecking ball, like a Japanese weight

It makes the waters rise

In me

How’d you do that thing you do?

This beautiful charmer could be a deceiver too

It’s making me do things I mustn’t do

My appetite for love is now a hunger thirst

Whoever you are

We spoke of Lagos and Rotterdam

Dancing cheek to cheek, get behind me, Satan

And all my good will is coming loose

Like a ball of yarn, like a bad excuse

It makes the embers glow

In me, it’s your mood

How’d you do that thing you do?

This beautiful charmer could be a deceiver too

It’s making me do things I mustn’t do

My appetite for love is now a hunger thirst

Whoever you are

Whoever you are

I don’t believe in coincidence

You were sent this way for me

For it takes two to step this dance

Let us find a quiet place to sit

Into night is all

Let me gaze upon your lashes

Let it be known

That I gave myself completely over

Paraíso

Paraíso
