Joshua Kadison - Paris lyrics

Ezra was an old man He lived by the sea. Watchin' himself gettin' older, With no Family. And Ca**ie was a pretty one, A bartender by trade. She had a daughter with big green eyes, She called her Jade. They met each other in the park, While Jade was on a swing. On a bench underneath a tree, They talked about everything. And she said, Sometimes I get so scared, But I don't know why. She reached for the old man's hand, And she began to cry. And he said, It ain't no crime,It ain't no crime... Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes. It ain't no crime, It ain't no crime... Everybody gets a little bit loney sometimes. Then he said... I was gonna be a painter, Gonna paint my masterpeice. I spent my whole life dreamin', Now they're my only memories. And I was gonna live in Paris, France Now my body's fallin' apart. I could be Pablo Pica**o if Dillusion were in art. And she said, "That sounds lovely...Paris, France Just sayin' those words, Kinda makes me wanna dance, Do you wanna dance?" It ain't no crime,It ain't no crime... Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes. It ain't no crime, It ain't no crime... Everybody gets a little bit loney sometimes. They'd meet there every Sunday In the park at noon. Ezra would get there early To buy Jade a red balloon. And Ca**ie'd tell him all about Her awful luck with men. She's say, "Wish I could find a guy like you But they'll never make you again." And Jade would fall asleep on Ezra's lap There in the park. While Ca**ie'd still be talkin' a long time after dark. Everybody gets a little bit loney sometimes. One Sunday afternoon, No Ezra, no red balloon. Just a friend of his who said, "Ezra Pa**ed Away. And he wanted me to bring this letter to you today." Well it was 2 tickets to Paris and a note that read, 'Thank you for the dance... My dearest Ca**ie, You were my Paris, France.' It ain't no crime, It ain't no crime... Everybody gets a little bit loney sometimes.
