We kiss! For the first time! And all the lights in town go out
Just moon and the stars in the sky the black sea of the street, you and me and our mouths
We freeze! Marble statues, listening to the symphony of silence
The drone of police sirens off in the distance, and then snapping back, we caused this
We run! in no particular direction, we answer to no physics,
What spells love can cast - if we let it!

Gotta have a system, a set of rules we both know
What if we lose control and something new takes over?
Everytime I look in your eyes, those birds of paradise

We're looking out from the fifty-first floor of a skyscraper during a downpour
Helicopters outside, guns-drawn drama and tanks, citizens fleeing in boats
They're closing in on us now, hot shot supercops, snipers up high
And as they spiral up the emergency stairs, we close the door, flick the lights
Together! No camera can capture us, we're all in black
Together! No phone call, no matter how urgent can reach us, we're off of the grid cant go back
We gotta have an alibi, a single story (set) in stone
But I lose control and something new takes over

Everytime I look in your eyes, the birds of paradise, they sing to me
Everytime I look in your eyes,
They're blinking from the tops of trees, cracking with electricity
Endless walks down autumn streets in focus perfectly
Oh drummer dont worry
This rhythm track we can either follow or leave
Everytime I look in your eyes, those birds of paradise.
