Last Time in Paris

(Available as the B-side to "Another Rainy Night", and on the "Ford Fairlane" soundtrack)

Last time in Paris was a little strange,
Had time to myself
Headed out to see the city sights
Met a little thing on the Champs-Elysees,
Stole my heart away,
You know I never could pronounce her name
She didn't mind at all
We were sitting there,
Seemed like hours
Pass the day away,
Till they said we had to pay,
Or do the dishes or something,
I don't know

Living at the plaza Athenae
Got to rest for the show
Man at the front desk knew my face
Said he had a room with a view for two
But he forgot to say,
Renovation next door starts today
Can't find another room
All day long they banged
Fourteen hours
Show time on my mind,
And wringing somebody's throat,

Last time in Paris,
Last time in Paris,
Last time in Paris was strange
Last time in Paris,
Last time in Paris,
Last time in Paris was strange

Overslept, missed the bus to the show
Had to find my own ride
Took the metro out to Avingnon
Man at the backstage, didn't know my name
Said hey, I'm with the band!
You and everyone today
What is this guy new?
Fifteen minutes fly,
Someone sees me
Inside let me go
Hey Geoff, we need photos
Before the show!

[What? You gotta be kidding!]

Last time in Paris,
Last time in Paris,
Last time in Paris was strange
Last time in Paris,
Last time in Paris,
Last time in Paris was strange
