About

“Belinda Says” is a nostalgic ballad that pays homage in both lyric and sound (the same tempo and chord progression in the verses) to Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven is a Place on Earth”.

Belinda Says Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't explain my ankle sprain
I didn't really feel it
New dress could turn your head
But how long 'til we reel it in?

[Chorus]
Paradise and I find myself paralyzed
Knowing all too well

[Verse 2]
Blue Rev behind the rink
I didn't really need it
Circumspect when you call collect
To see if I would keep it

[Chorus]
Paradise and I find myself paralyzed
Knowing all too well terrified
But I'll find my way

[Bridge]
Moving to the country
Gonna have that baby
Wait tables in town
I know word gets around
Moving to the country
Gonna have this baby
See how it goes
See how it grows

[Chorus]
And I find myself paralyzed
Knowing all too well terrified
But I'll find my way

[Outro]
I'll egress to Inverness with nothing in my pocket
Bеlinda says that heaven is a place on еarth
Well, so is hell
And we'll all get help paradise
And we'll start another life

To me, “Belinda Says” was a vision of someone escaping a situation, flipping on the radio… It just creates this beautiful image of a joyous exodus. […] A thing that I think is really beautiful is heark...
