Lyrics

I remember when I walked into your beautiful world,
I was so frozen by joy I couldn't speak,
The people said "hello" it was nothing new to them,
And you gently grabbed my hand an kissed my cheek,
And the candle-light that shown,
Was so different from the neon that I've known,
I felt it was wrong when they asked my name,
I stepped back and saw myself, and I felt so ashamed.

You took me on the dance floor and we spun around the room,
I stumbled all around and watched you smile,
You said that you could dance all night, and I thought you might,
I asked if you and I could hide a while.
And I knew I couldn't stay,
With my clown-suit and face-paint,
I looked at the faces, they seemed so aware,
YOu told me that you didn't care.

Let there be no beauty anymore,
'Cause I can't be a part of it,
I'm running away from paradise,
The prisoner is returning home again.

We wandered in the garden and I looked into your eyes,
I tried to touch the light the moon had shown,
And like a cosmic bird flying into outer space,
I knew what it meant to soar alone,
And how could I explain?
You never saw the stain.
I searched my pockets to see what I could share,
And I found nothing, nothing quite as fair.

Let there be no beauty anymore,
'Cause I can't be a part of it,
I'm running away from paradise,
The prisoner is returning home again.

So I quickly left the garden 'cause it hurt to hear you cry,
And I saw all I had to give was pain,
I wish I had the strength to tun myself around,
And tell you all your tears were in vain,
I knew I'd be all-right,
Alone with the silent night,
It had a face that never did accuse,
It had a face I never could abuse.

Let there be no beauty anymore,
'Cause I can't be a part of it,
I'm running away from paradise,
The prisoner is returning home again.
