Or better yet:

"If I had my way
I'd just walk through those doors
And wander
Down the Champs Elysees
Going cafe to cabaret
Thinking how I'll feel when I find
That very good friend of mine"

Yeah, that's more like it.

Quitting the job, subletting the apartment, running off on a cheap fare for a couple months would really fit the bill.
