You Don't Live In Paris Testo
Testo You Don't Live In Paris
Once we stood at the edge of the world as the shipwrecked sun went down
a frozen city held its breath beneath a silent neon crown
and true, we didn't stay around to see the dying embers
but who knows which of us will be the last to remember
that you don't live in Paris you don't live in Paris anymore?
I sit alone in the Place Pigalle while waiting for a friend of mine
she might be bringing me the fleurs du mal or just a foxy valentine
and oh, you must have heard a lot of bad things about me
and all your friends will tell you that you're better off without me
now you don't live in Paris now you don't live in Paris anymore
Night falls along the boulevards Irma la Douce slips out of doors
a strange face in the back of the car for moment looks like yours
and all at once I started feeling lost and empty
what's the use of all the books and all the lines you sent me
if you don't live in Paris if you don't live in Paris anymore?
Streetlights flicker at the run (away) of the dawn I stretch out of a dream
daylight paints its strangest forms out on streets I've never seen
and in all the futures that the modern world can show you
there might be one and then it's near enough for me to know you
when I don't live in Paris when I don't live in Paris anymore
