the ballad of lea & paul lyrics

Paul studied a lot, at least he pretended to
He had too much on his mind
It was too small
To see the beauty of it all

Lea loved him a lot at least she pretended to
He was always on her mind
She said, "Paul
There's a fire in the hall"

And when it finally burned the questions
For the answers he had found
He realized it ought to be
The other way around

There's a fire burning in the hall
Looks great, I don't care, let it burn
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care at all

They got married right on the spot at least I presume they did
I have too much on my mind
To tell you the fall of Lea and Paul
Out in the hall

For the moment that this song has stopped
They'll probably be dead
So it's better maybe wiser
To leave the rest unsaid

There's a fire burning in the hall
It looks great, I don't care, let it burn
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care at all

There's a fire burning in the hall
It looks great, I don't care, let it burn
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care at all

I don't care at all
I don't care at all
I don't care at all
