"Burning Down Paradise" lyrics

"Burning Down Paradise"

Little monster
You could find sunshine
If you just lift your head
Little monster
Dancing in the blue light
Smiling without regret

Two sides wild eyes
The devil that you know
Lucid nightmare
Wave as you let go

If what you think is right
Then why is everything on fire?
Everyone's hypnotized
You're burning down paradise

Mr. Sunshine
Staring through the window
Tell me that it's ok
Mr. Sunshine
We could have a good time
If you'd just save the day

Two sides wild eyes
The devil that you know
Lucid nightmare
Wave as you let go

If what you think is right
Then why is everything on fire?
Everyone's hypnotized
You're burning down paradise

If what you think is right
Then why is everything on fire?
Don't you dare close your eyes
You're burning down paradise
