[Part I: Irene]

[Verse 1]
Though you hardly know her
The light's on its way
The hand that rests upon it
Still wanna stay

[Verse 2]
No way of recognizing
The cat knows the call
Fair child is rising
There's no mystery at all

[Chorus]
It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise (You'll be waiting)
You'll be waiting

[Outro]
It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise
[Part II: Wherever You Go]

The kind you like
To come back in
Wherever you go
No hawk in sight
The scenic drive
The signs just so
The brightened lines
Stay by your side
Wherever you go
The kind you like
A comeback kid
They told you so
Wherever you go
No doubt it
It's true, the lights up
Wherever you go
No doubt it
It's true

The kind you like
No end in sight
The rest you know
