Lyrics

The train pulled into Paris
Like a rocket to the moon
The station's 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 its name
Now 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'd ask me to
Well, I'd steal the Mona Lisa
And 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 is thick as thieves
And she'd like nothing better
Than to steal the breath from me
And the tower's light ain't shining
As it hangs its head in shame
At the sight of American blood
On the streets of St. Germain
Washing up into the Seine
And I'd give this world to you
Every rock and every stone
Every masterpiece in Rome
And if you'd ask me to
Well, I'd steal the Mona Lisa
And 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'd ask 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
