Basia Bulat Birds of Paradise song lyrics

I've been sleeping without memory

I think I'll lie a little longer

Wait for the crowds to go

Maybe I'll die in this unholy mass

And I'll be free

Yes that's what they say that I would be

When we came to watch the world be over

But there's too many fools

On this boat that made

I can hardly see the water

What's happened to me

I was down on my knees

I was praying to leave

But I never know when I've gone too far

This disaster in me

What a beautiful dream

That told me I'd be cleaner

Told me I'd be closer to God

Oh, the birds of paradise

Came to me yesterday

Laughed when they told me my fate

We'd be cold, we'd be tired, but we could breathe

And one day I'm gonna leave this place

What's happened to me

I was down on my knees

I was praying to leave

But I never know when I've gone too far

This disaster in me

What a beautiful dream

That told me I'd be cleaner

Told me I'd be closer to God
