Gordie Sampson - Paris lyrics

The train pulled in to Paris, like a rocket to the moon Stations like a circus, every face is a cartoon And everybody's stoned on pride and drunk on cheap champagne Tonight this guadavive sure don't live up to it's name And 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 was thick as seas And she'd like nothing better than to steal the breath from me And the towers lights is shining as it hangs it's heads in shame At the sight of American blood on the streets of St. Germane Watching up into the ceiling And I'd give this world to you every rock and every stone Every masterpiece in Rome And if you want as 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... 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...
