A Tribute To Joni Mitchell
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
