I, I, I hide my light inside a cloak of night Beneath a red scarf and a chapeau The pearl of my heart locked within a shell Too afraid to let it go, to let it show And all the headlines read For all the world to see A monster in Paris I fall upon, I fall upon Apparently I did appear beneath the light Yes, it was me, a monster in Paris I hide my pain inside a melody As if the notes I sing will set me free I keep all my dreams under a lock and key I'm so afraid that they will fly Away from me, a monster in Paris A monster in Paris A monster in Paris
