The train pulled in to Paris, like a rocket to the moon Station's like a circus, every face is a cartoon And 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 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 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 is thick as thieves And she'd like nothing better than to steal the breath from me And the tower's lights is shining as it hangs its heads in shame At the sight of American blood on the streets of St. Germain Washing up into the Seine. And I'd give this world to you every rock and every stone, Every masterpiece in Rome And if you want 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 of kingdom From the queen of England And if you asked me to I'd take this city in my hands And 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
