Perfumes Of Paradise Lyrics - Singles - Fatima Mansions

Somebody's threatened you, well, you know why 

Time now to pay for misdeeds you deny 

Life can be cheerless in intensive care 

Keep a cool head and you won't know you're there 

You won't need a shot when you sniff just a drop 

Of the perfumes of paradise! 

("Then we're dead!") 

Bulldoze the street where they said you were born 

Take a new name and before it put "Lord" 

Tranquil and slow, nostrils aglow with 

The perfumes of paradise 

From my bed to the street it is 30 paces and getting nearer 

And I sniff and repent in all the right places 

And a speeding truck crashes into the front door 

And the telephone rings and says, "Have you no conscience?" 

When planning a genocide, starting a war 

Say that it's gentler than others before 

It sells lots of TV's and ribbons and flags 

And makes all the doubters look spineless and bad
