Have you ever seen the Eiffel Tower from below?
I stood under it and it was beautiful
It was only five degress, the sky blue like the sea
You asked me, how much I liked to live and I said very much
I know what you look like, while you were asleep
And if you were a city, you would be Paris
Somewhere else isn't bad too, I said in March
I've seen the most beautiful thing in the world:
Paris in the fall
My French is limited to the following sentence:
"Mes cles ... ah, toujour la!"
Granted, you don't get very far with that
but Paris was willing to speak English
We watched suburban breakdancers on Sacré-Coer
Cities from above, I still love that so much
The sun descends like a Bordeaux from '04
"C'mon you Nazi bastard, bring me, bring me a beer"
Said your cousin in the evening on a party in jest
And then we talked about the war
in Paris in the fall
I know what you look like, while you were asleep
And if you were a city, you would be Paris
Somewhere else isn't bad too, I said in March
I've seen the most beautiful thing in the world:
Paris in the fall
Paris in the fall
La la la la
La la la la
