Lyrics

[00:10.00] ALDONZA
[00:14.20] Why does he do the things he does?
[00:18.98] Why does he do these things?
[00:23.21] Why does he march
[00:24.60] Through that dream that he's in,
[00:27.59] Covered with glory and rusty old tin?
[00:31.95] Why does he live in a world that can't be,
[00:36.00] And what does he want of me...
[00:40.50] What does he want of me?
[00:44.36] Why does he say the things he says?
[00:48.46] Why does he say these things?
[00:53.48] "Sweet Dulcinea" and "missive" and such,
[00:57.42] "Nethermost hem of thy garment I touch,"
[01:01.83] No one can be what he wants me to be,
[01:06.16] Oh, what does he want of me...
[01:10.74] What does he want of me?
[01:17.40] Doesn't he know
[01:21.50] He'll be laughed at wherever he'll go?
[01:25.62] And why I'm not laughing myself...
[01:30.51] I don't know.
[01:37.00] Why does he want the things he wants?
[01:41.59] Why does he want these things?
[01:45.67] Why does he batter at walls that won't break?
[01:50.33] Why does he give when it's natural to take?
[01:54.41] Where does he see all the good he can see,
[01:58.49] And what does he want of me?
[02:02.74] What does he want of me?
