Thane - Intermission in Paris lyrics

[Interlude] In Paris they sang "Let it Be" by Pigalle church cathedral steps Only the gypsy asked for change though Apologies fall from my lips like ash from cigarette embers Veins riddled skin surfaces like the innocence of children's drawings Whether colder than two Decembers Whether I was in possession wasn't the question But I still pet my pockets inconsistently along garment seams To swat pennies for empathy I can't tell if these cupped hands are begging for my dividends or a spare moment of my time I can't tell which one I'd rather give up Patience alludes me when only given two options Tick boxes or fit boxes The clock's ticking, get in where you fit in Don't stray, we have no time for that The shepherd you follow may not be so forgiving Squander while pondering the re-up don't make no sense Excuses are an enemy of progress, wise up Understand the importance of acceptance before convenience Say La Vie, say La Vie That's what she said to me She must've realized I had no change to give and standing around and talking about it won't change a thing If only you knew what some would do to get a second of their time back, and just how many wouldn't change a thing Time is the only luxury, spend it wiser than the man who built his house on stone The preacher told the ma**es of misguided be pensive in your parables The most pride-filled ? from the crowd would rather keep a pistol tucked and play street disciple He can't read the scripture with an empty stomach and his legs cut You think about it
