About this track: Let's face it. "Dick Cheney Saves Paris" is really a tragedy of epic proportions. Here's a guy who, thinking he's stranded, turns his back on everything he knew and throws the entire world into the trash heap to do something that will make his father proud of him. Only he finds out ... well... that would be giving it away, wouldn't it? But this is a song that was inspired by the moment in the book that made the tragic elements clear. Well, to everyone except Dick, of course. This is a solo-acoustic demo version of a song that originally appeared on the 2016 release "Sunshine Or Something" by Alan Rose and the Restless Elements.

lyrics
What if I told you the whole world hinges on this
Not something sacred just someone you’d swear that nobody would miss
What if to save her meant you’d betray all that you believe
But you’d save the world from crying
Gave it all for Paris
Gave it like it meant something
Gave it all for Paris
Paris Walked Away
No that’s not quite right what I meant to ask you about
Is where were your scruples did you ever leave room for a doubt
How were you certain there was only one way it should go
And the pain was worth the trying
Gave it all for Paris
Gave it like it meant something
Gave it all for Paris
Paris Walked Away
(Instr)
Best friends and schoolyard crushes all casualties
Not part of the plan just out of neglect
Stranded with your obsessions and like-minded freaks
Demolished the world to change who we’d elect
Maybe I’m too harsh there’s nothing for me to indict
You got to live history and a chance to set everything right
So what if you screwed up a few dozen things ‘long the way
You just know your dad would be happy
Gave it all for Paris
Gave it like it meant something
Gave it all for Paris
Paris Walked Away (2x)
Not something sacred just someone you’d swear that nobody would miss
What if to save her meant you’d betray all that you believe
But you’d save the world from crying
Gave it all for Paris
Gave it like it meant something
Gave it all for Paris
Paris Walked Away
No that’s not quite right what I meant to ask you about
Is where were your scruples did you ever leave room for a doubt
How were you certain there was only one way it should go
And the pain was worth the trying
Gave it all for Paris
Gave it like it meant something
Gave it all for Paris
Paris Walked Away
(Instr)
Best friends and schoolyard crushes all casualties
Not part of the plan just out of neglect
Stranded with your obsessions and like-minded freaks
Demolished the world to change who we’d elect
Maybe I’m too harsh there’s nothing for me to indict
You got to live history and a chance to set everything right
So what if you screwed up a few dozen things ‘long the way
You just know your dad would be happy
Gave it all for Paris
Gave it like it meant something
Gave it all for Paris
Paris Walked Away (2x)
