Paris At 21 |
| Paris in 21, at 21 |
| Paris in 21, at 21 |
| Paris in 21, at 21 |
| Sweet mirrored illusions |
| Keeping on rolling along |
| Between the past and the present |
| All that’s felt in an old song |
| Than lovers were younger than I |
| They never let their chance go by |
| They believed what we would call a lie |
| Would have been there |
| But I wasn’t born |
| Would have had the time of my life |
| Would have sinned there |
| 'Cause that’s when sin |
| Was cheating on your wife |
| Not like today, it’s all okay, ole, ole |
| Sweet mirrored illusions |
| On an old mirrored bed |
| In a hotel in Paris |
| Wishing time wasn’t dead |
| Took a train instead of speed |
| Took Colette and Proust to read |
| Let down my guard and made |
| Friends with Lou Reed |
| Should have been there |
| But I wasn’t born |
| Would have had the time of my life |
| Would have sinned there |
| 'Cause that’s when sin |
| Was cheating on your wife |
| Not like today, it’s all okay, ole, ole |
| Paris in 21, at 21 |
| Paris in 21, at 21 |
| Sweet mirrored illusions |
| They all end here |
| Some settle for champagne |
| Some hunger for beer |
| Boats sail for distant shores |
| You always want what isn’t yours |
| Off to see the wizard because |
| Because, just because |
| Because would have been there |
| But I wasn’t born |
| Would have had the time of my life |
| Would have sinned there |
| 'Cause that’s when sin was cheating on your wife |
| Would have been there, but I wasn’t born |
| Would have been the toast of the town |
| Would have sinned there |
| 'Cause that’s when sin was… |
