Paradise Rains

Big tear-jerker of a year
Cut the onion dome of Saint Tikhon
Like an inflated tear frozen in time
Piercing the heavens to milk it

Paradise rains on what once was hell
Baby, I'm home, my ghost to its shell
The prodigal daughter, fertile and watered
That night, we made sweet love, and he rang my bell

Paradise rains, I've abandoned the crusades
Heaven pours upon this family
A pair of dice eroded, faradized the cursed
A cupid's kiss upon this house, my pain haunted its walls
Now I've come home, my ghost to its bones
My coin to its well, only good stories left over
From hell, left over from hell

Paradise rains on what once was hell
Baby, I'm home, my ghost to its shell
The prodigal daughter, fertile and watered
That night, we made sweet love, and he rang my bell
