In my stone solemn head
I chase the paradise
Beyond the streets
where my eyes cannot reach,
I follow you
Past the neon sign
Red Valentino
In sick heart paradise,
Red Valentino
How I could reel to your music
Red Valentino

In my stone solemn head
I chase the paradise
You bend and sway
Through mirror-hall wheel-arches
Down the chrome parades.
You know the truth
Of the errant night
Red Valentino
In sick heart paradise
Red Valentino
How I could reel to your music
Red Valentino

In my stone solemn head
I chase the paradise,
The velvet dark soft beating of your heart.
I follow you
Red Valentino
In sick heart paradise,
Red Valentino
How I could reel to your music
Red Valentino

In my stone solemn head
I chase the paradise, I see the trains
And wonder where they go
And from where they came
I see them come and I see them go
But the light still flashes
Red Valentino
I see you in your shark suit
With your high collar high
Switchblade paradise

And all I feel are the veils of rain on my face
Switchblade paradise
And the veils of rain on my face
I follow you
Past the neon sign
Red Valentino
In sick heart paradise
Red Valentino
How I could reel to your music
Red Valentino
