We were drunk fools in |
|
Paris, stumbling on the sidewalk that runs along the |
|
Seine, and on the |
|
Cathedral all the gargoyles watched us laughing, "Two stupid Americans..." |
|
We were at the mercy of this passionate waiter who pulled the corks at the |
|
Osterasis |
|
Cafe he kept serving us wine we hadn't ordered then he blamed us for the weather, it was cold and rainy - but we raised a glass up to him anyway |
|
We did Paris in a day, what would |
|
Marie Antionette say? |
|
We made a vow on the |
|
Champs Elysees that nothing would come between us |
|
The Mona Lisa, |
|
I said, "She smiles just like she knows me" you said, "She's a woman with nothing to lose - She gathers a crowd around her, then she flirts with perfect strangers, but she'll never take a lover in the Louvre - she will never take a lover in the Louvre..." |
|
We did Paris in a |
|
Day what would |
|
Quasimodo say? |
|
Would he stand on top of |
|
Notre Dame and throw down tourists to us? a thousand stairs up the |
|
Pompadou we were gasping at the view if we tried for |
|
Jim Morrison's gravesite too we'd probably have to find a tour bus and man, how do we find a tour bus without finding another day |
|
We took the |
|
M across the |
|
Seine and headed for the |
|
Eiffel tower and there the street merchants called us out by name "Cool shades here for the Americans" |
|
They said in their finest hipster |
|
English and then they told us, "Every Yankee looks the same" |
|
I said, "Is it the camera case, or our American grace?" |
|
They said, "You all just look the same..." |
|
We lit a candle for a ghost in the |
|
Notre Dame |
|
Cathedral |
|
We got lost on the |
|
Left Bank looking for a place in which to stay when we told the waiter there what we had done, he said, "Only an American would attempt Paris in a day... Only an American would do Paris in a day..." |
|
We did Paris in a day what would |
|
Marcel Marceau say? |
|
We put up our feet at the |
|
Fountain Cafe and toasted the bond between us |
|
We drank sherry with an |
|
Englishman we caught up like long lost friends under the |
|
Arc we watched the sunset end and laughed at the miles that had passed beneath us the miles that passed beneath us |
|
You said, "That's kilometres, baby" but |
|
I wouldn't let it come between us nothing will come between us nothing will come between us... |
