Hill, Faith - Paris Lyrics






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 its name
And now all that i can say

[Chorus:]
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 steel 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's as thick as thieves
She'd like nothing better than to steal the breathe from me
The tower's lights ain't 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

[repeat chorus]

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

    This song was written by Gordie Sampson... It's about a hellish night he spent partying in the city.

    why does everyone find it necessary to point out errors when clearly these videos are not being submitted for awards. you people need to lighten up and just enjoy the music...people have fun and enjoy making these and who freaking cares if it says steel instead of steal. omg.

    Don't STEEL the Mona Lisa, actually don't steal the Mona Lisa either

    I love this song. I've never heard it before. Where have I been? A couple of spelling errors though, ooops. The photos are gorgeous. Some of the lyrics I don't really know if I understand the meaning exactly. What's this song entirely about?

    Beautiful song, but a bit of advice. If you're going to create a video using the lyrics, ensure your spelling is correct...it's "steal" the Mona Lisa, not steel and theives is actually spelled thieves. But, the video and pictures are stunning and really well done. Thank you for the song, it's one of my favorites.

    thank you, I've been looking for this song but not in concert! The pictures are beautiful.
