Paris Lyrics

Paris
~with Wally Wilson

When you land in Paris
And they wave you right through
Though your passport picture
No longer looks much like you
They don't look at your luggage
They don't look at your face
'cause you pose no danger
and you're such a disgrace

you go out walking
down the Champs d'Elysees
and your spirits are sinking
it can happen that way
when you do your best Bogart
they don't seem to care
they walk right down the sidewalk
like you aint even there
(chorus)
lookin' in the wrong direction
seein' it from the inside out
the way you couldn't wait for Christmas
the way you used to twist and shout

it must be the jet lag
you hope it'll pass
you check your reflection
in the store front glass
kinda grey at the temples
kinda goes with the hat
kinda round in the middle
but it aint even that
it's nothing you can see
it's nothing you can smell
but you pose no danger
and man they can tell
(chorus)
lookin' in the wrong direction
seein' it from the inside out
the way you couldn't wait for Christmas
the way you used to twist and shout
you see it in the mirror in the morning
you feel it in the middle of the night
sleeping with your eyes wide open
waking with the shades drawn
