You know it sets my nerves on fire To think of your creepy desire And to know that you're a liar
I used to dream of distant places Far from all the distant faces
There's only so much I can take And even less that I can give Though if it weren't for your sake I may never have wished I never lived
For all the things we could have done Underneath the foreign sun Walking arm in arm down the twisted streets of La Rochelle or old Paris
Once upon a time you used to be my one and only A few years in July then you found someone new Well you told me how you cried and how you wish that I would come back one more time Well I thought I would but now I won't because I used to care but now
I'm on a gravy boat to Paris Sounds like something to do I'll hang around some Paris terrace Imagining I'm somewhere new
And I will dream of distant places Far from all the twisted faces And all the things that used to be Will be nothing but a memory
