Oh Paris (feat. Sheila Parker & Harry Nilsson)

Oh, Paris

I saw from the start

You lusted

And trusted in your heart

Oh Paris

The gods laugh

While history will say

Your love was

Too higher price to pay

Oh Paris

Oh Paris

Open your eyes

The world dashes by

Your people cry

Look out, Paris

You should have known better

Oh Paris

You should have known better

Oh Paris

Oh Paris

Your seed will never fight

You should have known better

It's drowning in

A whole nation blood

You should have known better

Oh Paris

Oh Paris

Your time is near

Destiny's here

Your people hide in fear

Look out, Paris

You should have known better

Oh Paris

What have you done

Oh Paris

You should have known better

With the thousand long boats

Oh, the ten thousands men

They came and they stormed the wall

Again and again and again

They came with swords of fire

They came to burn it down

So watch the flames go higher

'Coz they're inside this town

Oh Paris

You should've known better

Oh Paris

You should've known better

You can't destroy the walls of Troy

By means of force

You should have known better

When spears and swords and arrows fail

Use a wooden horse

You should have played better

Oh Paris

Oh Paris

There's no where to run

For gods' sake

Every mother's son

Gods' sake

Condemns what you've done

Look out, Paris

You should have known better

Open your eyes

Gods' sake

The world passes by

Gods' sake

Your people will die

Look out, Paris

You should have known better

Love is a flower that will die

In the darkness

Oh Paris

You should have known better

Made out of stone that's as cold as it's heartless

Oh Paris

You should have known better

Paris, can you see the hidden truth?

Look what you’ve done

Still, you hide behind a mask of youth

You never listen to me

You never listen to me

Paris, can you see the hidden truth?

Oh Paris

What have you done

Still, you hide behind a mask of youth

Oh Paris

You should have known better
