Verse 1
Dont let the fear in
Dont let the hatred through the door
And the fever, like a spider, walk your skin
Can you still hear him?
Still preaching science at the screen
While the doctors try to cover the sin
Oh its a mad world honey
And this crazy little man keeps spinning it and spinning it again
Dont let the fear in
Dont keep your naked little heart, trapped, beating in the cage its in
Chorus
Were just two cats sitting on a hot tin roof
Were just two young hearts running down the backstreets like we never went to school
Were just soldiers fighting in a war against our own advice
Were just birds of paradise
verse 2 is the same as verse 1
Beyond the white light
You dont know if heavens in your mind
And if hell is just a twinkle in your eye
Youve led a short life
Short from the moment your were born
To the moment that the sun filled the sky
Remember long nights honey?
When we were kids and love was ours to find
Youve led a short life
Not even Valium can kill that k k k k kick inside
Chours is also the same
Were just two cats sitting on a hot tin roof
Were just two young hearts running down the backstreets like we never went to school
Were just soldiers fighting in a war against our own advice
Were just birds of paradise
Bridge is all piano and vocals
So hold on
I know sometimes this crazy world can tear the flesh from our bones
Please hold on
And when sometimes youre not yourself be glad at least youre someone
Old Soldier
Lead us home
Chorus is identical
Were just two cats sitting on a hot tin roof
Were just two young hearts running down the backstreets like we never went to school
Were just soldiers fighting in a war against our own advice
Were just birds of paradise
Were just birds of paradise
Were just birds of paradise
