Gordie Sampson Paris Lyrics

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 it's name

And now 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 is thick as thieves

She'd like nothing better than to steal the breath from me

The tower's lights ain't shinin' as it hangs it's head in shame

At the sight of American blood on the streets of St. Germain

Washin' up into the seine



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, 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
