Paris

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...
