October in Paris lyrics
by Jill Sobule
[Verse 1]
October in Paris, the skies are all gray
I walk all alone on the Champs-Élysées
It just reminds me of those German tanks
Rolling through the arches
[Verse 2]
October in Paris, it's not a great night
Everyone's p*ssy, the trains are on strike
It must have been better in '25
Josephine Baker and absinthe
[Chorus]
You're absent in my life
There's nothing I can do about it
The more I travel, the more I unravel
You're absent in my life
[Verse 3]
It's raining in Paris, the red traffic lights
Streak like mascara diffusing the sky
It just reminds me how much I dislike
Monet's Water Lilies
[Verse 4]
And it's so pathetic when someone name drops
Puts famous dead artist in Paris in songs
Please forgive me for all I've done wrong
Today my good sense is absent
[Chorus]
You're absent in my life
There's nothing I can do about it
The more I travel, the more I unravel
You're absent, you're gone
You left me in the storm
You're absent in my life
