Last Time in Paris Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Living at the plaza Athenee
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
All day long they banged
14 hours
Show time on my mind
And wringing somebody's throat

[Chorus]
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

[Guitar Solo - Chris DeGarmo]

[Verse 3]
Slept over, missed the bus to the show
Had to find my own ride
Took the metro out to Avignon
Man at the backstage, didn't know my name
Said "Hey, I'm with the band, man!"
"Yeah, you and everyone today"
What is this guy new?

[Pre-Chorus 3]
15 minutes fly
Someone sees me
Inside let me go
Hey Geoff, we need photos
Before the show!

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

Genius Annotation

Queensryche’s contribution to the soundtrack of “The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane”. Unlike most of their songs to that date, this doesn’t tackle any really serious subject matter, and just tells a story of Geoff Tate’s strange (actually, sounds more like “terrible” would be a more accurate word) time in Paris while the band was on tour.
