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
[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
