lyrics

What’re you doing in Paris are you trying not to lose your mind?
D’You cut your hair and set your bed alight,
D’You write a song that only sounds right,
Played on a red piano,

What’re you doing in Paris are you filling up your phone book?
With foreign numbers that can get you off the hook,
To fill the space that you designed,
But looked so wrong up close,

Whats it like in Paris are you writing scripts in times new roman?
Does it make you feel more adult?
Have you met a lot of men with stupid accents,
Dotted through their names?

Whats it like in Paris do you see things through a hazy filter?
Is your world made up of black and white?
Do you wish that you were home and still in high-school,
Does it keep you up at night?

I will grow my beard I will grow my hair,
I will write a song and you will not care,
You will see the world you will see the seas,
You will write a play a french tragedy,
You will write me in, You will make me sin,
I will take the sword I will let you win,
You will build a fence, you will build a gate,
You will throw the keys, I’ll accept my fate,

(Cut your hair, drink cheap wine ironically)
