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 neighborhood
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 realize
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
