Lyrics

The train pulled in to Paris, like a rocket to the moon
Stations like a circus, every face is a cartoon
And everybody's stoned on pride and drunk on cheap champagne
Tonight this joie de vivre sure don't live up to it's name
And all that I can say is
I'd give this world to you every rock and every stone
Every masterpiece in Rome
And if you asked me to I'd steal the Mona Lisa
Tear it up in little pieces
And lay them at your feet
For all the world to see
But tonight I can't give you, Paris...
Aristocrats are everywhere and the air was thick as thieves
And she'd like nothing better than to steal the breath from me
And the tower of lights still shining as it hangs it's head in shame
At the sight of American blood on the streets of Saint-Germain
Watching up into the ceiling
And I'd give this world to you every rock and every stone
Every masterpiece in Rome
And if you asked me to I'd steal the Mona Lisa
Tear it up in little pieces
And lay them at your feet
For all the world to see
But tonight I can't give you, Paris...
And I'd give this world to you I'd steal the crown and kingdom
From the queen of England
And if you asked me to I'd take this city in my hands
And break it down to grains of sand
And lay them at your feet
For all the world to see
But tonight I can't give you, Paris...
