East of Paris

Appeared on Code Name: Jumper

(David Munyon / S.P. Standley)

 

This song is dedicated to all of the photo journalists who served in the Vietnam War.


Well it was hard times again for Mitch „Mechanic"
On the shoreline of Lake Erie, he froze and cursed his Chevy
A long walk home seemed necessary
I suppose the note he left gave some clues to where he went...

 

East of Paris
On a hillside on the phone
East of Paris
No need to be alone
East of Paris, just East of Paris

 

She said, „Ya got to believe me when I tell ya..."
„You're the only ones for me" „I could use a little money"
She settles in the seat of her Ferrari
and takes along with her, her poodle and she lands

 

- Chorus -

An' in-between the News and perfume and commercials
There's a flashback to Saigon at The Herald (Boston)
Where the laughter and the wine seemed to help in killing time
Where the laughter and the wine seemed to help in killing time

 

So we gather at the end of our „vacation"
„You should land in time for lunch"
„I like your stocking legs"
It's been real, so real and kinda Celestial
„There's a Cafe on the coast"
„I know how we can get there"

 

- Chorus -
