Oh you,
|
old thing.
|
Still got vibrations
|
in your streets.
|
They move me to come down
|
from the chandelier
|
I have been watching you from.
|
|
Bon soir,
|
bon soir ma ville.
|
I'm gonna leave you now
|
in the arms of babes.
|
|
I've got a new way to live
|
through the storms you're so famous for -
|
oh, that's the sound of some new rocket
|
upon the door.
|
|
Who's gonna steam up all your dancehalls?
|
Who'll put your lilies in a vase,
|
when all the good men have had all their daughters, and
|
all the other men have fallen in with daises?
|
I don't want to be the last one standing,
|
I don't want to reach the bitter end.
|
As much as I have always loved your dancing,
|
I hate the sounds that come from crowds
|
that just don't get
|
my moves.
|
|
From here,
|
in the sky,
|
I see rows of lgihts
|
as as violent web.
|
And I will miss
|
the way I got caught up in you.
|
|
Oh you,
|
old thing.
|
|
I'm gonna leave you now
|
in the arms of babes.
|
I've got a new way to live
|
in the storm, in the storm
|
in the storm.
