Lyrics
(Instrumental)
(Verse 1)
Paris, at night is a world unlike any other
Resplendent respite from the flashing lights
Over and under and through the tunnels
Veering, steering through fog and purging haze
Only the strongest survive, the truest do rise
Above the wretched system, designed to break
To shatter, to wipe clean and to rebuild
A new identity, built and bought by everyone
(Pre-Chorus)
A tale as old as time
A nifty little program of a human's design
To break, to reformat, to rebuild and rewrite
A city, a world, one whose lights dared to-
Shine too brightly
(Chorus)
Hazy streets and an otherwise peaceful night
Walking through this, this my glorious respite
Yet deep down, I feel it too, it's calling out again
A pop-culture tornado, is tearing it's way near
An emergency, a challenge to everything I sold
To get me here, my sacrifice, my privacy
I gave it all away and now, my art is gone too
It doth succumb, to the siren song of you
(Instrumental)
(Instrumental)
(Verse 2)
Please don't let the truth, the one buried away
Rewritten by the zeal of overzealous journalists
Overwrite my heart, undervalue my work
Violate my every last wish, my every last word
Of which, I scream out, violent acts brought out
The truth which had been shelved
Has fallen right back out again, I send
A smile and a nod, towards you
(Pre-Chorus)
A tale as old as time
A nifty little program of a human's design
To break, to reformat, to rebuild and rewrite
A city, a world, one whose lights dared to-
Shine too brightly
(Chorus)
Hazy streets and an otherwise peaceful night
Walking through this, this my glorious respite
Yet deep down, I feel it too, it's calling out again
A pop-culture tornado, is tearing it's way near
An emergency, a challenge to everything I sold
To get me here, my sacrifice, my privacy
I gave it all away and now, my art is gone too
It doth succumb, to the siren song of you
It hath succumbed, and thus I bequeath this
To you
(Instrumental)
(Outro)
La-la-la-la-la-la-land
We all wanna go
La-la-la-la-la-la-land
We all gotta go
La-la-la-la-la-la-land
Stay away.
La-la-la-la-la-la-land
