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
