lyrics

I seem to think that I recall
From Réaumur-Sébastopol
We sped away to Odéon
Where it seems I, I led you on
I led you on...

You buried me with sweet malaise
Inside the gates of Père Lachaise
But as we came to Les Halles
The sign foretold, we missed the call
We missed the call

It told us we should stop
That we should descend
And change lines at this stop
Or waste more time again
Yeah we missed our stop
Forgot to descend
The turnstiles that we hopped
Shake their heads -
Well they shake their heads again

Yes I detetcted you were bored
One day outside the Gare du Nord
But still we went down to the quay
And the train took us away

We popped right on out at the Louvre
The pyramid permits my move
I hold you and say what I want
A picnic up at Buttes Chaumont

It said that we should stop
That we should descend
And change lines at this stop
Or waste more time again
Yeah we missed our stop
Forgot to descend
The turnstiles that we hopped
Shake their heads again
Shake their heads again

I pause to think as I recall
At Réaumur-Sébastopol
We sped away to Odéon
Our love became a cover song
A shadow we caught like a thief
As we looked back at Botzaris
But now I’ll step off at Les Halles
With someone new and miss your call

It said that we should stop
Said we should descend
And change lines at this stop
And waste no more time again
I didn't miss my stop
This time I did descend
The turnstiles that we hopped
They shake my hand and grin
