Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep

Dreamed of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on
It gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear, a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night
She closed her eyes
In the night
The stormy night
Away she flied

I dream of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

She dreamed of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

La-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la

Still lying underneath the stormy skies
She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I know the sun must set to rise

Oh, oh. Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Oh, oh. Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo...

"When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
and dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes"

But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
and dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes"
