Paris lyrics
Written by Kevin Bacon
Strings written and arranged by Michael Bacon

"A guide book for the paranoid." KB

I m in Paris, won t be here long
But after all it s Paris, guess I d better write a song
It s so wonderful, so magical, so romantic
Note to self to change that line, it s too pedantic

But it s Paris, I ve come so far
I ve made it all the way from the bed
To my guitar
You can call me doom and gloom
There ain t no way I m stepping outside the hotel room

I m a prisoner, I m a prisoner
I m terrified of what s outside beyond that door
I m a prisoner, I m a prisoner
A prisoner of 424

Brought a girl to Paris, she didn t like the food
She said the time change was killing her
The waiters were rude
But if she was here now, she d make this all go away
She d say baby let s pretend we re not in Paris for the day

I m a prisoner, I m a prisoner
I m terrified of what s outside beyond that door
I m a prisoner, I m a prisoner
A prisoner in room 424

I should visit Saint-Germain des Pres
Take a walk, down the Champs Elysees
But this room is the only place to hide
From the gargoyles, waiting just outside

I m in Paris, I see angels in the wall
I hear Arabians running in the hall
See I m in this room and this room is who I am
And if you don t like that I don t give
A good God Notre Dame

I m a prisoner, I m a prisoner
I m terrified of what s outside beyond that door
I m a prisoner, I m a prisoner
A big strong guy like me, imagine that
I m a prisoner, I m a prisoner
A prisoner of quatre deux qua
