I, I hide my light inside a cloak of night Beneath the red scarf and a chapeaux 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 the whole world to see A monster in Paris I fall apart, I fall apart, apparently I did appear beneath the light Yes it was me A monster in Paris I hide my pain inside a melody It's as if the notes I sing 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
