Breakdown in Paradise

Love is a terrible word when there's so many hurt and deceived
Bless you, don't turn me away when we're falling apart at the seams
I once saw a man with the world in his hands grieve for you
And you stare at the skies with your aeroplane eyes in the blue
What is wrong with you?

There's a breakdown in paradise, Heaven's alive tonight
Something's decidedly loose
Take what you want from me, sleep with my enemies
Take me apart as you choose
There's a breakdown in paradise

Rain in the palm of my hand as the last of my world disappears
I am a desperate man, I can only react to my fears
Watching the man with his head in his hands read the news
All alone in a crowd with his head in the clouds, what's the use?
What is wrong with you?

There's a breakdown in paradise

There's a breakdown in paradise, Heaven's alive tonight
Something's decidedly loose
Take what you want from me, sleep with my enemies
Take me apart as you choose
There's a breakdown in paradise

Watching the man with a gun in his hand bleed for you
And you stare at the skies with the guns in your eyes
What's to do?
What is wrong with you?

There's a breakdown in paradise...
There's a breakdown in paradise, Heaven's alive tonight
Something's decidedly loose
Take what you want from me, sleep with my enemies
Take me apart as you choose
