The train pulled into Paris like a rocket to the moon   The station?s like a circus, every face is a cartoon   Everybody?s stoned on pride and drunk on cheap champagne   Tonight this joie de vivre sure don?t live up to it's name   And now all that I can say      Is I?d give this world to you, every rock and every stone   Every masterpiece in Rome and if you asked me to   I?d 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 can?t give you Paris      Aristocrats are everywhere and the air is thick as thieves   She?d like nothing better than to steal the breath from me   The tower?s 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 I?d give this world to you, every rock and every stone   Every masterpiece in Rome and if you asked me to   I?d 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 can?t give you Paris      And I?d give this world to you, I?d steal the crown and kingdom   From the queen of England and if you asked me to   I?d 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 can?t give you Paris
