C'est la vie
This is the Paris you wanted to see
C'est la vie
What a pipe dream
C'est la vie
That's where exactly you wanted to be.
C'est la vie
Ticket to ride to recycle your dreams
C'est la vie
So elusive
C'est la vie
This is the crossroads you finally reached
Sidewalk cafe
All those cliches
Sidewalk cafe
Cobblestones
A bumpy ride uphil.
(Men) Sidewalk cafe (Women) All Those cliches Sidewalk cafe And the dark All so real
(Choir) You'll stick around
How long can you just grin and bear it (Choir) You'll stick around
For illusions (Choir) You'll stick around
You got a chance there's someone who cares
Life may deal a new deck of cards
No going back now (WP) No, no, no.
You gotta just gulp it down
Day by day (WP) Like today.
C'est la vie
This is the Paris you wanted to see
C'est la vie
What a pipe dream
C'est la vie
This is the crossroads you finally reached
Sidewalk cafe
All those cliches
Sidewalk cafe
Coblestones
A bumpy ride uphill
