Eurythmics Fools Paradise Lyrics

Fools Paradise Lyrics

Life

It flicked like a dying flame

Then before my very eyes you
came

And entered our world

And you were born a king

It's too
late

Welcome to paradise

It's too late

Yes you were born a
king

It's loo late

Welcome to paradise

It's too late

Life

A
million things for you to learn

But one by one those pages turn

Like
history itself

But you were born a king

Your pale blue eyes and velvet
skin

Fingertips and sideways grin

No photograph or microphone

Could
capture your elusive tone

No waterfall or running stream

Could be so
pure as your daydream

No china doll or crystal sphere

Comes close to
you, my child so dear

In you I have a glimpse of faith

A love affair
with outer space

A foothold on a mountain top

A passion there that
never stops

No magazines radio or late night

TV monster show

Could
entertain me more than you

I want you to know

That you were born a
king

Welcome to paradise

Yes you were born a king

Welcome to
paradise
