Verse 1
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 ITS NAME
AND NOW ALL THAT I CAN SAY
Chorus
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
(Back to intro)
Verse2
ARISTOCRATS ARE EVERYWHERE
AND THE AIRS AS THICK AS THIEVES
SHED LIKE NOTHING BETTER THAN TO
STEAL THE BREATH FROM ME
THE TOWERS LIGHTS AINT SHININ AS IT
HANGS ITS HEAD IN SHAME
AT THE SIGHT OF AMERICAN BLOOD ON THE
STREETS OF ST. GERMAIN
WASHIN UP INTO THE SEINE
Chorus
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
(intro again)
Chorus 2
AND ID GIVE THIS WORLD TO YOU
ID STEAL THE CROWN AND KINGDOM
FROM THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND
AND IF YOU ASKED ME TO
ID TAKE THIS CITY IN MY HANDS,
BREAK IT DOWN IN GRAINS OF SAND
AND LAY THEM AT YOUR FEET
FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE
BUT TONIGHT I CANT GIVE YOU PARIS
(intro again and end on D, which is probably kind of obvious, lol)
