Gare du Nord in November
Hair in disarray
Like a knot in my stomach
That tightens, that twists
And Paris that sprawls
Suddenly, here I am
With shaky legs
It's too big for me
This imposing scene
Where everything becomes fragile

And bam, and bam
In the chest
Mom, I did it for this
I don't want
I don't want America
I want this beating heart
And bam, and bam
To the music
Mom, I did it for you
I don't want
I don't want America

My childhood has flown away
But nothing ever erases
Dreams or violence
Ah, yes, it chills you
But that's why we sing
Let me fail
And let the rain come
They will never take away
That I've already won
New friends

And bam, and bam
In the chest
Mom, I did it for this
I don't want
I don't want America
I want this beating heart
And bam, and bam
To the music
Mom, I did it for you
I don't want
I don't want America

And louder than my voice
I hear it beating
This heart
And it sweeps away my tears
And my whys

And bam, and bam
In the chest
Mom, I did it for this
I don't want
I don't want America
I want this beating heart

And bam, and bam
To the music
Ladies and gentlemen
Here I am
I don't want
I don't want America

I want this beating heart
And bam, and bam, ah-ah-ah
And bam, and bam, ah-ah-ah
And bam, and bam, ah-ah-ah
I want this beating heart
