In Paris They Know How to Build a Monument
Cold standard rifles shining under glass
When you first cross the snows of Autumn
Back in a garden in our rue vivienne
The cardinal's turned into a robin
In Paris they know how to build a monument
Outside the sagging confines of this camp
They do not believe in private property
Under the fragile light of oil lamps
I hear the angry mystics when they're davening
In Paris they know how to build a monument
Merry christmas Mr. Delmaux, yes
Out here they know he's just a prophet
While they bring them in at gare du l'est
Your wife holds your picture in a locket.
In Paris they know how to build a monument
Let no sentiment pass through this shed
I'd say she's got you in the heart again
I'd like to see her in her country dress
One last time before we meet the goblins
In paris they know how to build a monument
When you first cross the snows of Autumn
Back in a garden in our rue vivienne
The cardinal's turned into a robin
In Paris they know how to build a monument
Outside the sagging confines of this camp
They do not believe in private property
Under the fragile light of oil lamps
I hear the angry mystics when they're davening
In Paris they know how to build a monument
Merry christmas Mr. Delmaux, yes
Out here they know he's just a prophet
While they bring them in at gare du l'est
Your wife holds your picture in a locket.
In Paris they know how to build a monument
Let no sentiment pass through this shed
I'd say she's got you in the heart again
I'd like to see her in her country dress
One last time before we meet the goblins
In paris they know how to build a monument
