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
