This town I'm in can't take no more

Decadance and sin

You were my woman

Why'd you have to be so hard and cold

Paris is burning

I can see it from afar

Paris is burning

Get to where you are

My life's in ruin

The girl I love

She's far away

The distant fire

Brings memories of the love

That I once knew

Where are you now

Been looking all around

And I can't stay

Help me now

I can't take much more

Before I fade away

Paris is burning

I can see it from afar

Paris is burning

Get to where you are

I can't believe

You'd throw it all away

You know you played me for a fool (huh)

I'm leavin' now

This time you know

That I'll be gone for good

Paris is burning

I can see it from afar

Paris is burning

Get back where you are

Paris is burning

I can see it from afar

Paris is burning

Get back where you are

Paris is burning

Paris

Paris is burning

Get back where you are
