Elliott Smith – Place Pigalle Lyrics 17 years ago
dmv666 is spot on. also here are the CORRECT lyrics:

'here's the foreign son on holiday
meeting her lines about halfway
a looking oh it's killed many men
and i've been all of them inside a week
see the man in the bar who got too drunk to speak

he endures that song mundane as it is
a daze in a dream that wasn't his
night's up at the top of lift
when continents drift too far away
to keep it together for long, this half holiday

from the bar they walk to place pigalle
a taxi wave down, good night sleep well
now its just a step to the door
when he wants all the more to bring her away
out of this temporary half-holiday'
