Paolo

Paolo
 where have you gone
 Have the spirits found you
 You were one of their own
 Paolo
 you could see him
 the man in the hat
 brown, with a wide brim
 always standing there
 watching by the door
 I think you always knew what he was waiting for
 Paolo
 Understanding my heart was true
 with the lenses of contact you could see through
 You could tell me what I should do
 Paolo
 I've seen evil
 It's worn me down
 and I would have made games if you'd been around
 In the darkness where you are now
 Paolo
 you loved Godard
 black holes and light years
 absintho and cards
 Paolo
 Fragile but sure
 Hot strains of genius you couldn't endure
 And when visions burned equations in your mind
 you'd drown your reckoning in cigarettes and wine
 Oh but ...
 Paolo
 Understanding my heart was true
 with the lenses of contact you could see through
 You could tell me what I should do
 Paolo
 I've seen evil
 It's worn me down
 and I would have made games if you'd been around
 In the darkness where you are now
 Paolo
 wherever you are
 say a prayer for me
 I've been dancing with
 monsters perilously
 Some so subtle, only you'd see
 Paolo
 I've seen evil
 It's worn me down
 and I would have made games if you'd been around
 In the darkness where you are now
 In my darkness where you are now
