Paris Is Still Burning

Lyrics

Paris is still burning with the flames of wasted youth But in the fields of Flanders, the poppies cry the truth Paris is still burning, but the prostitutes stay honest It was a savage Messiah that lit the burning fire Paris is still burning. Paris is still burning When I speak to you I don't see friends or foe When I cry for you, how can you see my tears ? So please listen to my shadow. Paris is still burning But I'm freezing without warmth and my confidence in liberty Has escaped without a trace; without a trace Paris is still burning. Paris is still burning Not even the river Seine can dampen my belief That forevermore we just hold our tongues The flames get bigger by the hour, but we stand still We've got tomorrow's gift of genius : atomic power Paris is still burning. Paris is still burning Oh my city will you burn forever more ? Or will the rainy days have a solution Maybe we can live on your pollution I know I'm just another number ready to be forgotten But to remember is not good enough You're supposed to be so modern, well I don't want to be forgotten Paris is still burning. Paris is still burning So let the poppies grow and let the children know Paris is still burning So let the poppies grow and let the children know Paris is still burning Paris is still burning. Paris is still burning
