Let me paint you a picture A picture that I know that you'd like I'll let the colors run It dries and then it's done And we'll go to the market and sell it It's worth more to them than it is to you You said you'd put it on the wall But I don't want you to We'll go to the market and sell it Let me build you a fortress A fortress you can decorate I'll find a way to pay The bills to the estate And we'll go to the market and sell it It's worth more to them than it is to you You said you weren't happy And you won't be happy here We'll go to the market and sell it Let me give you some money Some money for a daring escape We'll find a ticket cheap Say goodbye and you will leave And we'll go to the market in Paris It's worth more in francs than it is in our banks You said you weren't happy And you won't be happy here We'll go to the market in Paris
