In Paris Lyrics > Lestat

ENSEMBLE
In Paris the bells of Notre Dame ring out
In Paris we live what we've dreamt about.
We'll not rest til the curtain of the theatre falls on a cheering crowd

MEN
For Paris she was made for us

WOMEN
Paris, she was made for us

ENSEMBLE
In Paris we all live the actor's life!

WOMAN #1
Now who indeed is that fine thing?
Such a strapping country boy.

WOMAN #2
I'll wager he's not lonely long
A face like that is soon employed.

Nicolas
Oh my God, Lestat!
Lestat
Nicolas!
Nicolas
I can't believe it's you! What are you doing here?
Lestat
It's been too long.
Nicolas
That was my entrance. I'll be right back. Uh, Luchina, this is Lestat, the one I was telling you about. Look after him.

MAN
Feast your eyes, for chances are that all you'll get to do is stare.

WOMAN #1
Too well-bred for the likes of you.

LUCHINA
He'll not resist this pretty pair.
WOMAN #1
I'd give my meager wages for a roll with that young stranger there.

MAN
Innocence of that sweet smile might cause your clothes to disappear.

Lestat
I hope you realize you look rediculous.
Nicolas
Remember how we used to pretend to be dashing Parisian rogues? Well now I've found a way to make a living at it.
Lestat
If I recall, I was the dashing rogue. You always played the dim-witted servant.
Nicolas
True. How long will you be in Paris?
Lestat
Forever. I've left the Auvergne.
Nicolas
You're free. At last. I thought you'd never escape. Oh Hell, I'm on again. Don't move.

(...Comedia sequence...)

ENSEMBLE
In Paris the bells of Notre Dame ring out
In Paris we live what we've dreamt about.
We'll not rest til the curtain of the theatre falls on a cheering crowd
Applause for us in Paris comes with the life we're leading now.
MEN
In Paris we'll search for fame.

WOMEN
In Paree we are born again.

ENSEMBLE
And though the streets aren't paved with gold, in Paris we'll put our trust
For Paris, she was made for us.
LESTAT & NICOLAS
Paris, she was made for us.

ENSEMBLE
In Paris we will liberate our lives.
