All I wanted was true love There was a mountain of pain We came around it, together Then we did it again We found that love was a hot rod Warm and sticky and wet Blazing the trail of forgiveness For those who can forget Riding into paradise Our eyes were lighted with wonder Our flesh was kindled with flame All values and reason went under it The wind blew away all the names It was all touch [?] naked Baring our souls to the light Everything shimmering and shaking Universes were born in our sight Riding into paradise The landscape was littered with bodies All bound by the blindness of death Cocooned in a kind of confusion Waiting the grace of new breath And many an old companion Saw to shut out the light of our eyes But we said, "There's no understanding The ways of the true and the wise" So we shone our radiance upon them And a coldness reached out for our minds, but We called out from deep in the silence "We are free, we are one of a kind" Then a chasm opened before us That swallowed the dark and the light And both she and I will bare witness That we both disappeared from sight Riding into paradise We couldn't stand our aloneness With no shoulder to cry upon In a world that was losing its conscience We were each other's religion And dissatisfied with information Looking through the eyes of the heart We we still searching for true love While our lives were falling apart She said, "We are here in this moment Where our hearts are always broken anew" I said "Standing apart is the torment" And we rose as the wind and we blew We were one with the grass and the [?] And the creatures of death and of birth And we stood with these friends and delivered The sermon that creates the earth Riding into paradise
