dmv666 is spot on. also here are the CORRECT lyrics:

'here's the foreign son on holiday meeting her lines about halfway a looking oh it's killed many men and i've been all of them inside a week see the man in the bar who got too drunk to speak

he endures that song mundane as it is a daze in a dream that wasn't his night's up at the top of lift when continents drift too far away to keep it together for long, this half holiday

from the bar they walk to place pigalle a taxi wave down, good night sleep well now its just a step to the door when he wants all the more to bring her away out of this temporary half-holiday'

More corrected lyrics:

'here's the foreign son on holiday meeting her eyes about halfway a look you know it's killed many men and i've been all of them, inside a week see the man in the bar who got too drunk to speak

he endures, that's all, mundane as it is a daze in a dream that wasn't his night's up at the top of the lift where continents drift too far away to keep it together for long, this half holiday
