Lyric Paris

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
Now all I can say is

(Chorus)
I d give this world to you
Every rock and every stone
Every masterpiece in Rome
And if you d ask 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

Aristicats are everywhere
And the air is as thick as thieves
She d like nothing better than to
Steal the breath from me
And 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

(Chorus)

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
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
