Cover art for Paris lyrics by Regina Spektor

Wolfe (i'm not sure about Atwood) hung out in Paris in an artists' commune sort of thing and I think this woman wanted to go there. She made it to Paris but when he man came to take her back it didn't matter what the writers had told her about feminism, she WANTED to be a house wife. She wanted a little adventure, but that would have to wait for her next life, because in this life she had already chosen her position.
