Paris 1919 Lyrics by John Cale

Paris 1919 Lyrics

    She makes me so unsure of myself
    Standing there but never talking sense
    Just a visitor you see
    So much wanting to be seen
    She'd open up the door and vaguely carry us away

    It's the customary thing to say or do
    To a disappointed proud man in his grief
    And on fridays she'd be there
    And on wednesday not at all
    Just casually appearing from the clock across the hall

    You're a ghost la la la
    You're a ghost
    I'm in the church and i've come
    To claim you with my iron drum
    La la la

    The continent's just fallen in disgrace
    William william william rogers put it in its place
    Blood and tears from old japan
    Caravans and lots of jam and maids of honor
    Singing crying singing tediously
    (les tuilleries -- instruments sans voix)


    Efficiency efficiency they say
    Get to know the date and tell the time of day
    As the crowds begin complaining
    How the beaujolais is raining
    Down on darkened meetings on champs elysee
