Lyrics
As you tripped from my arms
I could tell you were unimpressed
Close by Pont Notre Dame
You bought some chocolate cake
I rolled a cigarette
I said, "Why don't we take the metro
Back to our room?"
You said, "For Christ's sake, not yet!"
And the heavens opened
And we got soaked to the skin
On the Boulevard St. Michel
And at the hotel
With some pinot grigio
And a bag of skunk
I said, "Come lie down here, mademoiselle"
But in my arms you were
As limp as a doll
Limp as a body
They'd dredged from the Seine
Then you sat in the window
Looking out at the lights
And the clock ticked loud as a train
I knew you wished you were anywhere else
And it's like I went insane
And it's somebody else's night out there
And someone else's rain
And somebody else's panic I feel
And someone else's pain
And every love longs to be betrayed
And then be betrayed again
And it never works out okay
Like in a movie
When we got home
"Let's pretend it never happened," you said
But you don't answer your phone
One rainy night I saw you out
Walking home with a crowd of friends
It was getting dark and I wanted to speak
I don't remember when
But by then you seemed
In such a different world
And your name stalled on my tongue
And it's somebody else's night out there
And someone else's rain
And somebody else's panic I feel
And someone else's pain
And every love longs to be betrayed
And then be betrayed again
And it never works out okay
Like in a movie
And it never works out okay
Like in a movie
