RE RE/DO#
There's a blue shadow moving through the Moulin Rouge
SIm RE
And a man with a knife point pickin his teeth
SOL MIm
An off duty cop sits with his back to the door
LA
And somebody just took a piss in the sink
RE RE/DO#
The cop's drinkin Pernod thinks he's drinkin absinthe
SIm RE
With the girl who had loved him on the Rue St. Denis
SOL MIm
While somebody's slinkin smokin under a light
LA SIm
And there's trouble in Paris tonight
RE RE/DO#
Now Simone pulls the collar up tight to her throat
SIm RE
While the riverboats knock under the old Pont Neuf
SOL MIm
A rat makes a run for his hole in the wall
LA
She stops by a street light and lights a straight cigarette
RE RE/DO#
A Gitane on his knees starts to howl like a dog
SIm RE
She closes her purse and tries to peer through the fog
SOL MIm
Nothin seems wrong but somethin ain't right
LA SIm
And there's trouble in Paris tonight
RE RE/DO#
Now the man cleanin his teeth well he ain't satisfied
SIm RE
He's hungry for somethin that he just can't define
SOL MIm
The one by the sink is now sweeping the floor
LA
And the cop he ran short of dreams a long time before
RE RE/DO#
While under a street lamp there's trouble it seems
SIm RE
First there's a struggle and then there's a scream
SOL MIm
She didn't know what hit her when he asked for a light
LA SIm
And there's trouble in Paris tonight
RE RE/DO#
Simone had been a town girl not far north of Nantes
SIm RE
Who did it for money once then she just couldn't stop
SOL MIm
Had a fight with her mother another runaway teen
LA
Who had hotel love with a cop on the Rue St. Denis
RE RE/DO#
And a boy once abandoned by a cop and a whore
SIm RE
Has a knife in his hands he was a child of the war
SOL MIm
It was either Simone or cut out the lights
LA SIm
And there's trouble in Paris tonight
RE RE/DO#
There's a blue shadow moving through the Moulin Rouge
SIm RE
And a man with a knife point pickin his teeth
SOL MIm
An off duty cop sits with his back to the door
LA
And somebody just took a piss in the sink
RE RE/DO#
While somebody's standin out cold in the rain
SIm RE
Could be all warm inside drinking champagne
SOL MIm
Being thin as a shadow smokin under a light
LA SIm
And there's trouble in Paris tonight
SOL MIm
Bein thin as a shadow smokin under a light
LA SIm
And there's trouble in Paris tonight
