Story Behind The Song

Written for various characters to sing in the first musical co-written with my brother, Scott, entitled (aptly enough) "Paris on the Brain."

Song Description

Title song from the original musical Paris on the Brain.

Lyrics

Paris on the Brain

What was I thinking, where was my mind
Must have been drinking too much French wine
Can life really ever be the same
Once you've had too much Paris on the brain?

It was the time, it was the place
It was the sight of her lovely face
I guess I really can't complain
For having too much Paris on the brain

All your tenses seemed defensive
And your diphthongs came out all wrong
I thought you went temporarily insane
From having too much Paris on the brain

You started singing, you learned to dance
You quoted poetry steeped in romance
There's really no need to explain
We've all had too much Paris on the brain

Isn't there some unwritten rule
That all boys learn in school
About being certain to refrain
From getting too much Paris on the brain

And now you tell me that rule is meant
To be suspended, ignored, or bent
That's there's really no need to be ashamed
Of having too much Paris on the brain

There are lessons we can learn
From the bridges we all burn
But who can anybody blame
For having too much Paris on the brain

It's a well know, established fact
That, once you've been there you can't come back
No one has ever been the same
Once they've had too much Paris on the brain
