Paris, Texas

Running away to Paris, Texas Trying to escape from all the things I've dealt with I just wanna be with all my friends And free from all responsibility Running away to Paris, Texas Trying to escape from all the things I've dealt with I just wanna be with all my friends And free from all responsibility I just want to be up You and me together at 3 AM Why do I feel so alone When this is the place That I call my home Running away to Paris Texas and I wonder how I'm gonna hide from all the problems that I deal with now In the desert I hope I'll forget just who I am A romanticised fantasy I'll never speak of again I love the city but I need to feel free All part of a petty bourgeoise dream Live and die in the place I was brought up in It's what I want but I'll run like the wind (one day) I'll stay Walking up to Kensal Green on a Saturday Paris, Texas doesn't seem too far away Running away to Paris Texas and I wonder how I'm gonna hide from all the problems that I deal with now In the desert I hope ill forget just who I am A romanticised fantasy I'll never speak of again Running away to Paris Texas and I wonder how I'm gonna hide from all the problems that I deal with now In the desert I hope ill forget just who I am A romanticised fantasy I'll never speak of again And for the first time he wished he were far away Lost in a deep, vast country where nobody knew him Somewhere without language or streets And he dreamed about this place without knowing its name And when he woke up he was on fire There were blue flames burning the sheets of his bed He ran through the flames towards the only two people he loved But they were gone
