lyrics

Paris was hungry
the summer my father lived in the passage of desire
and me and John would walk down St.Denis
past all the circus of whores from Hati
and every other part of the world

Paris is not black and white like in the movies
it has an appetite
and full blown color
in Les Halles we watched a most perfect clown
he never smiled
he never smiled

we took trains and buses
and celebrated often
we howled in late night clubs
where Aretha Franklin was a goddess

here where Miller was blown
here where Celine was absurdly
here I could tell a small part of my life was consumed
and would stay forever
