The Toast of Paris - Cold Chisel

We both know you’ll 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 you’ll be flying out alone

I’ll 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 don’t know yet how much further you’ll 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 won’t hold you here

I know that won’t hold you

I love you for the way you still believe that you’re invincible

The way tomorrow has to happen now

I love the way you’re driven by a heart so incorruptible

But there’ll 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

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 won’t hold you here

I know that won’t hold you

We both know you’ll flying out alone

Riding on a ticket no return

I love you and I’ll pray for you out here on the edge I’ll 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

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 won’t hold you here

I know that won’t hold you

It takes more than a sulky mouth
