To the Rue St Jacques – To the Rue St Jacques
To the Rue St Jacques

Sometimes I wake up at night in a cold sweat
Dreaming of what I can’t forget
Then it all comes flooding back to me

One time I wandered around in a sideshow
Working the towns and then we’d go
Through the vineyards of the cote de nuit

Oh, oh yeah – we’re following the track – following the track
Following the track to the Rue St Jacques

To the Rue St Jacques – To the Rue St Jacques
To the Rue St Jacques

Thunder! The storm has begun and we’re nowhere
What is this place? Well I don’t care
Can you give us shelter for the night?

Wonder – what is this place but I’m aching?
Soon I’m asleep and then waking
What is going on – can’t find a light?

Oh, oh no! I think I’m gonna crack
I think I’m gonna crack – I think I’m gonna crack
At the Rue St Jacques

At the Rue St Jacques – At the Rue St Jacques
At the Rue St Jacques

Lightning – revealing a sight am I dreaming
I hear a sound it’s me screaming
There’s a body moving through the air

Frightening – I’m calling out loud but there’s no trace
Everyone’s gone there’s not one face
Just the ghost of Rue St Jacques is there

Oh, oh no – I’m never going back, I’m never going back
I’m never going back to the Rue St Jacques

To the Rue St Jacques – To the Rue St Jacques
To the ghost of the Rue St Jacques

To the Rue St Jacques
To the ghost of the Rue St Jacques

To the Rue St Jacques
To the ghost of the Rue St Jacques
