Need for Speed Carbon

That time I quietly escaped to Paris for a weekend of alone time to heal and I immediately hooked up with an alleged Moulin Rouge cabaret girl. Alleged because she never leaves my side all weekend and never went to work which is suspicious. The problem is she was a raging Absinthe alcoholic and drug addict and I indulged heavily. I thought it was real love and we could get married and I would live with Paris in Paris forever. Only to wake up in my hotel room Monday morning to catch my fight home, never having alone time to heal, she isn't there, all my money is gone, and I never got her phone number and can't remember her name because I thought it was funny calling her "Paris" all weekend. So, I am stuck in transit flying home for 12 hours with a serious weekend long hangover from drugs and alcohol only to find out later the only gift she gave me was a case of herpes. 

I miss my Paris.

Love, hugs, kisses, broken bones, black eyes, bruised fists, and big broken hearts
Stevie Chaos, Skelly Spektor, Rip Mickey, and Toad

Lyrics

Lipstick on a cigarette, burning in the rain
Neon bleeding red, down the Boulevard de Clichy again
She said “Mon amour” with a switchblade smile
Took my money, took my soul, left me howling like a child

Cheap perfume and gunpowder
Midnight saints and gutter flowers

PARIS! You beautiful bitch
You kiss me then you cut me to the bone
PARIS! Queen of the ditch
You fuck me up and send me home alone
PARIS! PARIS!
I’m on my knees in the streetlight glow
PARIS! You heartless witch
I hate you but I can’t let go

Absinthe and broken glass, dancing on the bar
Cops with tear-gas eyes couldn’t drag me very far
She laughed in French I couldn’t understand
Tattooed my name on her thigh with a cigarette brand

Cathedral bells at 4 AM
Sound like the reaper cashing in

PARIS! You beautiful bitch
You kiss me then you cut me to the bone
PARIS! Queen of the ditch
You fuck me up and send me home alone
PARIS! PARIS!
I’m bleeding out on cobblestone
PARIS! You heartless witch
Still the only heaven I’ve ever known

I came here looking for salvation
Found a one-way ticket to damnation
Every street’s a razor, every light’s a lie
But I keep crawling back to watch you smile while I die

PARIS! You beautiful bitch
You kiss me then you cut me to the bone
PARIS! Queen of the ditch
I’m yours until the flesh is gone
PARIS! PARIS!
Bury me under your neon throne
PARIS! My heartless witch
I’m never fucking coming home

“Je t’aime, salope…”
