Saint Vitus Lyrics

Bitter Truth

Take my hand, / I'm a stranger in paradise. /
All lost in a wonderland, / a stranger in paradise. /
If I stand starry-eyed / that's a danger in paradise /
for mortals who stand / beside an angel like you. /


I saw your face / and I ascended, /
out of the common place / into the rare. /
Somewhere in space / I hang suspended /
until I know / there's a chance that you care. /


Oh, won't you answer this loving prayer /
of a stranger in paradise? /
Don't send me in dark despair / for all that I hunger for. /
But open your angel arms / to the stranger in paradise, /
and tell him that he need be / a stranger no more. /


Take my hand, / I'm a stranger in paradise. /
All lost in a wonderland, / a stranger in paradise. /
If I stand starry-eyed / that's a danger in paradise /
for mortals who stand / beside an angel like you. /


Touch me, / I'm a stranger in paradise. /
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, /
la, la, la, la, la. /
Touch me, / I'm a stranger in paradise. /
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, /
la, la, la, la, la. /
Touch me, / I'm sick.
