Free Man in Paris - Sufjan Stevens

The way I see it he said

You just can't win it

Everybody's in it for their own gain

You can't please them all

There's always someone calling you down

Calling you down calling you down

But I do my best

And I do good business I do it well

There's a lot of people asking for my time

Trying to get ahead

They're trying to be a good friend of mine

I deal in dreamers and telephone screamers

Lately I wonder what I do it for

If l had my way

I'd walk through those doors

And wander down the Champs-lyses

Going caf to cabaret

Thinking how I'll feel when I find

That very good friend of mine

I was a free man in Paris

Nobody was calling me up for favors

You know I'd go back there tomorrow

Stoking the star maker machinery

I was a free man in Paris

Nobody was calling me up for favors

You know I'd go back there tomorrow

Stoking the star maker machinery
