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
|
