Paris lyrics

The train pulled into paris like a rocket to the moon
The station s like a circus every face is a cartoon
Everybody s stoned on pride and drunk on cheap champagne
Tonight this joie de vivre sure don t live up to its name
And now all that i can say

[Chorus:]
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 steel 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 s as thick as thieves
She d like nothing better than to steal the breathe from me
The tower s lights ain t shinin as it hangs its head in shame
At the sight of american blood on the streets of st. germain
Washin up into the seine

[repeat chorus]

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, break it down in grains of sand
And lay them at your feet
For all the world to see
But tonight i can t give you paris
