The Gates of Paradise (Give Praise Where Praise Is Due) Songtext

von Luxury

The piano won't play
And I was tired of the other place
It's time to move again now anyway
This is an endless parade
Yes, this is an endless parade
The half-life is strange
Here, there is constant decay
"Give praise where praise is due" I still say
Do I feel love where I used to feel hate?
Do I feel love where I used to feel hate?

The harmonium won't play
It just sits there all day
Just waiting on this side of Paradise
When you close your eyes, do you ever pray?
'Cos unbelievers are strange
I loved a few, I remember their names
And you still think if they just had a taste
But they won't
I think
But they won't
I think

The summer was great
The city, it pleased us with a shower of rain
And we stopped and we stood in the colonnade
For a while everything was okay
For a while everything was okay
For a while everything was okay
For a while everything was okay
For a while everything was okay
For a while everything was okay
