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
