                      In the shadow of Beaubourg


Down in the shadow at the end of the street, that's where we used to cool down far away from the heat. The whole town was our stage Beaubourg our living room, we lived fast we lived naked only witnessed by the moon.

Whores, bums and jugglers a few dogs and some crooks, we all crowded in a squat where we payed with our looks.
Six strings and three chords i played the subway line 3 drowned in smiles and small change the zoo attraction that was me.

Refrain:  
That was called Paris all your dreamers come aboard
That was called Paris the whole truth wrapped in an E minor chord

That was called Paris the tomorrow was never found
That was called Paris we were young sinners  on a holy ground


Busking for cash busking for the big dreams busking for beautiful girls or to silent the inner screams.
We entertain you pay the toll so you can rest assure that the abyss you see in our eyes can be cured.

Bridge:
At least we've tried
At least we've tried
At least some of us survived
At least we felt alive.

A few didn't made it through the drugs and the laws a few got lucky a few had to pay the costs
So Bill if you're still trying to make it out there  take this song as a shelter give my regards to Claire.

Refrain:
That was called Paris all your dreamers come aboard
That was called Paris the whole truth wrapped in an E minor chord

That was called Paris the tomorrow was never found
That was called Paris we were young sinners  on a holy ground


In The Shadow Of Beaubourg
