Trouble In Paris - Eric Andersen[00:00:00]
Written by:Eric Andersen[00:00:01]
There's a blue shadow moving through the Moulin Rouge[00:00:11]
And a man with a knife point pickin' his teeth[00:00:17]
An off duty cop sits with his back to the door[00:00:24]
And somebody just took a piss in the sink[00:00:28]
The cop's drinkin' Pernod thinks he's drinkin' absinthe[00:00:35]
With the girl who had loved him on the Rue St Denis[00:00:40]
While somebody's slinkin' smokin' under a light[00:00:46]
And there's trouble in Paris tonight[00:00:51]
Now Simone pulls the collar up tight to her throat[00:01:07]
While the riverboats knock under the old Pont Neuf[00:01:12]
A rat makes a run for his hole in the wall[00:01:18]
She stops by a street light and lights a straight cigarette[00:01:24]
A Gitane on his knees starts to howl like a dog[00:01:30]
She closes her purse and tries to peer through the fog[00:01:36]
Nothin' seems wrong but somethin' ain't right[00:01:42]
And there's trouble in Paris tonight[00:01:47]
Now the man cleanin' his teeth well he ain't satisfied[00:02:01]
He's hungry for somethin' that he just can't define[00:02:07]
The one by the sink is now sweeping the floor[00:02:13]
And the cop he ran short of dreams a long time before[00:02:19]
While under a street lamp there's trouble it seems[00:02:25]
First there's a struggle and then there's a scream[00:02:31]
She didn't know what hit her when he asked for a light[00:02:36]
And there's trouble in Paris tonight[00:02:42]
Simone had been a town girl not far north of Nantes[00:02:57]
Who did it for money once then she just couldn't stop[00:03:03]
Had a fight with her mother another runaway teen[00:03:08]
Who had hotel love with a cop on the Rue St Denis[00:03:14]
And a boy once abandoned by a cop and a whore[00:03:20]
Has a knife in his hands he was a child of the war[00:03:26]
It was either Simone or cut out the lights[00:03:31]
And there's trouble in Paris tonight[00:03:37]
There's a blue shadow moving through the Moulin Rouge[00:03:51]
And a man with a knife point pickin' his teeth[00:03:57]
An off duty cop sits with his back to the door[00:04:04]
And somebody just took a piss in the sink[00:04:09]
While somebody's standin' out cold in the rain[00:04:15]
Could be all warm inside drinking champagne[00:04:21]
Being thin as a shadow smokin' under a light[00:04:27]
And there's trouble in Paris tonight[00:04:32]
Bein' thin as a shadow smokin' under a light[00:04:41]
And there's trouble in Paris tonight[00:04:46]
