Paris lyrics

Artist  : James Mcmurtry 
Song : Paris



 Send "Paris" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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
