We'll Always Have Paris

Commander Venus

Baby, I know you hate it

When I call you that

But it's the only word

That half-describes

The way you're acting tonight



And at the restaurant

Where all your ghosts still haunt you

Just like you feared

Under this table

All these years they stayed



Waiting for your return

Your cigarette to burn

Their whole world through

A thousand things

You thought they'd do



Everytime you call

I feel worse

Throwing chairs

Stolen rings

Frozen air



And as I walked away

I heard you say:

"You're not the only one"



And as I watch you sleep

It's hard for me

To keep from waking you

To tell you everything I did



And when I listen to you breathe

I know exactly what you've always need

You wanted it from me



And every time you're here

It gets worse

Throwing chairs

Stolen hearts

Tasteless air



I've been waiting all day

At the cafe...

But you never came

But you never came

But you never came



And the hearts of the faithful

Who died on this table

Have left me with nothing

At all to hold on to

At all to hold on

At all to hold on

But I want to hold on to

But I've got to hold on to you

Throwing chairs

Broken rings

Open air



I've been waiting all day

At the cafe...

But you never came
