Paris Lyrics - Sunburn - Gordie Sampson

The train pulled into Paris like a rocket to the moon 

The stations like a circus, every face is a cartoon 

Everybodys stoned on pride and drunk on cheap champagne 

Tonight this joie de vivre sure dont live up to it's name 

And now all that I can say 

Is Id give this world to you, every rock and every stone 

Every masterpiece in Rome and if you asked me to 

Id 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 cant give you Paris 

Aristocrats are everywhere and the air is thick as thieves 

Shed like nothing better than to steal the breath from me 

The towers lights ain't shinin as it hangs it's head in shame 

At the sight of American blood on the streets of St. Germain 

Washin' up into the seine 

And Id give this world to you, every rock and every stone 

Every masterpiece in Rome and if you asked me to 

Id 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 cant give you Paris
