Hôtel de Ville
Look around at the world we've made
Garçon un peu plus de champagne
My love it's ours as the scriptures proclaim
Under our vine and all the saints
Where are my beloved people on this eve'
My commander will surely bring us some peace
These foolish peasants for they know not what they need
What's that rumbling in the streets
In the moment better take a step back
On the balcony, the folks are coming back
Writ on the wall "de Launay ain't coming back"
Keep your head better take a step back
À la prochaine, Marie
À la prochaine, ma chère
À la prochaine, Marie
Hôtel de Ville
They've dragged us down to the prison Tuileries
They made me say it wasn't "God appointed me"
This is my land, only I can set you free
What do you think blessed Marie
Write your brother, appeal to Leopold
Let's take a carriage and hurry its getting cold
They've caught on with my face etched in gold
No protection from the old
In the moment better take a step back
The sans-culottes will be waiting on the attack
Lafayette will be waiting when we come back
Keep your head better take a step back
À la prochaine, Marie
À la prochaine, ma chère
À la prochaine, Marie
Hôtel de Ville
Look at this they've carted me to the street
The green carriage, the people oh, what a scene
upon the scaffolding awaiting my guillotine
Oh my loved, Paris
Shoulders back, chin up, and look them in the eye
Be brave, address your people just one more time
"I pardon you, I am innocent of this crime"
Around my wrists the ribbons tie
In the moment you can't take a step back
They're looking back as you stare into the black
All of your kin and the legacy won't come back
Take a breath 'cause you know it's France's last
À la prochaine, Paris
À la prochaine, Régime
À la prochaine, les murs de
L'hôtel de Ville
In the moment better take a step back
The king is dead, there isn't no coming back
Vive la république, we're finally free at last
Keep your heads, no more taking steps back
À la prochaine, Louis
À la prochaine, La guerre
Si ces murs pouvaient parler à
L'hôtel de ville
Garçon un peu plus de champagne
My love it's ours as the scriptures proclaim
Under our vine and all the saints
Where are my beloved people on this eve'
My commander will surely bring us some peace
These foolish peasants for they know not what they need
What's that rumbling in the streets
In the moment better take a step back
On the balcony, the folks are coming back
Writ on the wall "de Launay ain't coming back"
Keep your head better take a step back
À la prochaine, Marie
À la prochaine, ma chère
