lyrics

As I follow you 'round les rues de Paris
Melancholy holds the clue to our sad fate
I can't stand to be alone but I lost my phone
As soon as I waved you goodbye on the San Pancras line
On a moonlit night of blue

And the quarter suits me fine pour cinque minutes
Saint Germain drinks in style but I'm so tired
Will I ever find that fantasy I had in mind
When I blew all my hard-earned cash to mix with Eurotrash
On the boulevards of truth?

Where can I find the true heart of the mystery?
Where can I spy on you with sun beaming down on me?
I can't find you here at all,
Just my sweet insanity
Poring over every empty stall

As I follow you 'round les rues de Paris
This ennui won't go away, that's my sad fate
And the pretty Ile de St Louis is calling out your name
Down Rue Poulletier I see visions appear
But there's nothing there again

Where can I find the true heart of the mystery?
Where can I spy on you with sun beaming down on me?
I can't find you here at all,
Just my sweet insanity
Poring over every empty stall

Where can I find the true heart of the mystery?
Where can I spy on you with sun beaming down on me?
I can't find you here at all,
Just my sweet insanity
Poring over every empty stall

Where I can find the true spark of the mystery?
Where can I write my new Parisian symphony?
I can't find a line to call
To resolve my misery
Walking 'til the night turns blue
