We both know youâll be leaving soon, flying for a day
Following a heart already gone
I can hear your conversation turning inward and away
We both know when it happens youâll be flying out alone
Iâll watch you disappear like a stone into the blue
Take the loss and never let it show
You think your destination is waiting just for you
But you donât know yet how much further youâll need to go
It takes more than a sulky mouth
To be the toast of Paris
No matter what they told ya
No matter what they told ya
It takes more than a sulky mouth
To be the toast of Paris
I know that wonât hold you here
I know that wonât hold you
I love you for the way you still believe that youâre invincible
The way tomorrow has to happen now
I love the way youâre driven by a heart so incorruptible
But thereâll be ways to break it, and people who know how
I have seen the girls of Paris like gazelles on meth-amphetamines
Cashing in their only ticket home
Strung on the catwalk, loaded into limousines
To fill the kind of parties where you never see the dawn
It takes more than a sulky mouth
To be the toast of Paris...
We both know youâll flying out alone
Riding on a ticket no return
I love you and Iâll pray for you out here on the edge Iâll burn
A candle every day until the day you get to learn
It takes more than a sulky mouth
To be the toast of Paris...
