I walk down the street With time on my hands The signs on the walls Show far off lands But I don't know a soul In this neighbourhood Can afford the fair They're stuck here for good The only way I'll ever see the world Is if I can become A rich mans girl Use my body To twist his mind Steal his money And leave him behind Paris by Air Such a beautiful sight There's nothing can compare With Paris by night Paris by air The signpost said I'd love to be there But I don't have the bread Well who could be happy With what they've got When the signs in the street Show them what they have not Paris by Air Try it and see But the common people Will never be free And growing up Can be such a pain Cos you never have things So easy again You realise What it's all about You're in prison And you can't break out Paris by Air Such a beautiful sight There's nothing can compare With Paris by night Paris by air The signpost said I'd love to be there But I don't have the bread
