To see me through my flight
Like the roof of a palace
It takes ambition
Oh, I've got to last the night
And christen the canvas
To see me through my flight
Like the roof of a palace
You were the best
When I get to Paris
And christen the canvas
Art has its price
Of Montmartre Street life
The left bank is crying
We'll drink in the amber
We'll drink in the amber
The left bank is crying
Paris
Like the roof of a palace
And christen the canvas
I've got to wait till morning
The left bank is crying
For color to crown it
It's so hard to hold on
TV's just wound down
In brush-strokes of yellow
When I get to Paris
For color to crown it
We'll paint all our portraits
To the ghost of your breed
Oh, but when I get to Paris
To call the colors you need
You signed the tablecloth
I've got to wait till morning
We'll drink in the amber
When I get to Paris
We'll paint all our portraits
I've only got one book
For color to crown it
I've only got one book
In brush-strokes of yellow
Like the roof of a palace
I've got to last the night
When I get to Paris
Paris
Oh, but when I get to Paris
In brush-strokes of yellow
But when I get to Paris
We'll paint all our portraits
We'll drink in the amber
