Shots fired in the sky as people run and children cry but you
Seem to stand so tall
Staring at a distant shore wondering if Chanel or Dior will
Ensure your grace won't fall
'Cause your version of heaven ain't no paradise
And with every move you're walking on thin ice
Kill your angels just to feed your demons
Remind me again exactly what is it
What is is you believe in?
Warm bodies in the streets with brand new loafers on their feet just trying to
See who will play the fool
But when the sun starts sinking low they warm themselves with cups of joe while they
Bounce bonds and brand new jewels
'Cause your version of heaven ain't no paradise
And with every move you're walking on thin ice
Kill your angels just to feed your demons
Remind me again exactly what is it
What is is you believe in?
Don't ask me why it had to rain today on your little day parade
I'm sorry, I really don't know
Is it karma, is it fate, that supports causes that we hate?
It's one of those things you can't choose
While there they stand in Sunday dress ask if there's anything to confess
But you already know the answer
Just walk along, don't say goodbye, the things you can't save let them die
And just pass on with some fanfare
Like this
I don't think you realize the game we're playing
'Cause who will win and who will lose there's no saying
So while you got time you best start running
'Cause you ain't Nostradamus you don't
Know when the end is coming
