Moulin Rouge Songtext
von Greg Kihn Band

She was just a showgirl, she had sparkle in her eyes
I was just a carriage driver whose soul she hypnotized
And with the smell of perfume in the air we fell in love
With the oil from the street lamp burning brightly from above

Moulin Rouge
Moulin Rouge


Paris in the springtime, it must have had me in its way
As we began to see each other more with each passing day
Life used to be so simple, loving in the afternoons (afternoons)
At night, she danced in the cafés, under a paper moon

Moulin Rouge
Moulin Rouge

Then came the night another man came to her door
Lots of other guys had all been turned away before (Moulin)
But she let him in, and he broke the spell (Moulin) that I had cast
(Moulin) now that I′m alone, I should have known that it was
Something that's too good to last
