fin-de-siècle - Vue de Paris

Riding into Paris on the RER
Je suis avec la lapin sitting by my side.
Disembarked at the Gare du Nord
and took the Métro to Château d’Eau.
There we checked into room 51 and
headed to Île de la Cité for some fun.

Went to Notre Dame to see the Crown of Thorns
Had a Coke in a glass bottle, which I adore
Eating crêpes and chocolats out in the streets
Went to the Conciergerie to see Louis and Marie
After the show at the Moulin Rouge
We ended up on Spainsh Reality TV.

Good Friday went to see la Sainte-Chapelle
and loved the stained glass, my mind began to melt
Saw the Mona Lisa at the Musée de Louvre
This place reminds me of the reform school
Spining round in circles behind Notre Dame
Riding on a swing in the middle of le Seine

Spent the next day at the Musée d’Orsay
before getting chocolats on rue de l’Université.
Then tried to get into the Catacombs,
but found they were closed to reanrange the bones
Then we hit a concert at la Sainte-Chapelle,
before visiting Odette, Frederick and Georges, of course
to have the best meal that we’ve had so far

Easter Sunday morning eating chocolat cake in a bag
with the Easter Bunny at Sacré-Cœer
Then we went to vist Jim Morrison
and Édith Piaf, cause their dead, but c’est la vie
Ended up having salmon lasagna
the worst meal that we’ve had so far

Hanging out drinking Absinthe in the bar
of the Hôtel Royal Fromentin in Montmartre
After that we stopped into a record store
selling only vinyl, which you know I adore
Then we checked-in online @ a cyber bar
before we went to have dinner one last time

Had a great dinner on our last night there,
but they wouldn’t bring the check
they seemed to want us there
Wondering if we’re wanted by Interpol
we hung out and waited until the place nearly closed
Then we went home and packed but didn’t sleep
cause we didn’t want to miss our wake-up call or taxi.

Got to the airport at 5:30 am to go home,
but the gate at security was closed
so we went and I had a beer to kill some time
till we could get in the air
Flying back from Paris we got a bag of booze
As a gift from our cabin crew
