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

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

Aristocrats are everywhere and the air is thick as thieves
She'd like nothing better than to steal the breath from me
The towers lights ain't shining as it hangs its head in shame
At the sight of American blood on the streets of St. Germain
Washing 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
