In Paris
(New York version)
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 ridiculous.
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.
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.
