  • Goin' down to Monte Carlo about 25k from Nice
    Goin' down to Monte Carlo about 25k from Nice
    Got to get myself together, gotta get my head some peace

    Sartre said that hell is other people, I believe that most of them are
    Sartre said hell is other people, I believe that most of them are
    Well their pettiness amazes me, even after I've gone this far

    Goin' down to Monte Carlo, 25k from Nice
    Goin' down to Monte Carlo 'bout 25k from Nice
    Gotta get my head together, gotta get my head some peace

    Playing in the background some kind of phony pseudo jazz
    Playing in the background in the restaurant, some kind of phony pseudo jazz
    I don't care I'm trying to get away from people, that are trying to drive me mad

    After everything I've worked for, not goin' to throw everything away
    After everything I worked so hard for, I'm not goin' to give it all away
    I just need to take a raincheck, I can't live to fight another day

    Goin' down to Monte Carlo, 25k from Nice
    Goin' down, goin' down to Monte Carlo, still about 25k from Nice
    Got to get my head showered, got to find some release Writer/s: VAN MORRISON
