I... I hide my light Inside a cloak of night Beneath the red scarf and a chapeux 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 world and all 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 A monster in Paris
