Montparnasse by Songdog
Montparnasse lyrics
As you tripped from my arms I could tell you were
unimpressed,
And close by the Pont Notre Dame you bought some
chocolate cake and I rolled a cigarette,
I said �Why don�t we take the metro back to our room?�
You said �For Christ�s sake, not yet�.
And the heavens opened and we got soaked to the skin on
the Boulevard St Michel �.
And at the hotel with some Pinot Grigio and a bag of
skunk,
I said �Come lie down here, mademoiselle�,
But in my arms you were as limp as a doll, limp as a
body they�d dredge from the Seine,
Then you sat in the window looking out at the lights
and the clock ticked loud as a train,
I knew you wished you were anywhere else, and it�s like
I went insane �.
And it�s somebody else�s night out there and someone
else�s rain,
And somebody else�s panic I feel and someone else�s
pain,
And every love longs to be betrayed and then be
betrayed again,
And it never works out OK like in a movie �..
When we got home, �Let�s pretend it never happened� you
said,
But you don�t answer your phone �.
One rainy night I saw you out walking home with a crowd
of friends,
It was getting dark and I wanted to speak, I don�t
remember when,
By then you seemed in such a different world and your
name stalled on my tongue ��
