|
When you land in Paris and they wave you right through |
|
Though your passport picture, doesn't look much like you |
|
They don't look at your luggage, they don't look at your face |
|
'Cause you pose no danger and you're such a disgrace |
|
You go out walking down the Champs D'Elysees |
|
And your spirits are sinking, it can happen that way |
|
When you do your best Bogart and they don't seem to care |
|
They walk right down the sidewalk like you ain't even there |
|
Lookin' in the wrong direction |
|
Seein' it from the inside out |
|
The way you couldn't wait for Christmas |
|
The way you used to twist and shout |
|
It must be the jet lag, you hope it'll pass |
|
You check your reflection in the store front glass |
|
Kinda gray at the temples, kinda goes with the hat |
|
Kinda round in the middle but it ain't even that |
|
It's nothing you can see, it's nothing you can smell |
|
But you pose no danger and man they can tell |
|
Lookin' in the wrong direction |
|
Seein' it from the inside out |
|
The way you couldn't wait for Christmas |
|
The way you used to twist and shout |
|
You see it in the mirror in the morning |
|
You feel it in the middle of the night |
|
Sleeping with your eyes wide open |
|
Waking with the shades drawn tight |
