Paris Lyrics - Leather Jackets - Elton John

Nobody left in the airport lounge 

They cleaned the ashtrays 

TV's just wound down 

I've got to wait till morning 

I've got to last the night 

I've only got one book 

To see me through my flight 

But when I get to Paris 

We'll paint all our portraits 

In brush-strokes of yellow 

And christen the canvas 

The left bank is crying 

For color to crown it 

Like the roof of a palace 

We'll drink in the amber 

When I get to Paris

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

You were the best 

Of Montmartre Street life 

You signed the tablecloth 

Art has its price 

It's so hard to hold on 

To the ghost of your breed 

It takes ambition 

To call the colors you need 

Oh, but when I get to Paris 

We'll paint all our portraits 

In brush-strokes of yellow 

And christen the canvas 

The left bank is crying 

For color to crown it 

Like the roof of a palace 

We'll drink in the amber 

When I get to Paris 

I've got to wait till morning 

Oh, I've got to last the night 

I've only got one book 

To see me through my flight 

Oh, but when I get to Paris 

We'll paint all our portraits 

In brush-strokes of yellow 

And christen the canvas 

The left bank is crying 

For color to crown it 

Like the roof of a palace 

We'll drink in the amber 

When I get to Paris 

Like the roof of a palace 

We'll drink in the amber 

When I get to Paris 

Paris 

Paris
