[Verse 1]
Threw my bad fortune
Off the top of a tall building
I'd rather done it with you
Your boy's smile, five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was really in love
In Chinatown, hungover
You showed me
Just what I could do
Talking about time travel
And the meaning
And just what it was worth
[Chorus]
And I feel like some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And I feel the innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to say
[Verse 2]
Things I once thought
Unbelievable in my life
Have all taken place
When we walked through Little Italy
I saw my reflection
Come right off your face
I paint pictures to remember
You're too beautiful
To put into words
Like a gypsy
You dance in circles all around me
And all over the world
[Chorus]
And I feel like some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And I feel the innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to say
[Chorus]
And I feel like some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And I feel the innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to say
[Outro]
So I take my good fortune
And I fantasize of our leaving
Like some modern day
Gypsy landslide
Like some modern day
Like some modern day
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
On the run again
On the run again
On the run again
On the run again
On the run again
On the run again
On the run again
On the run again
