Lyrics

[00:07.88] All the waiters in your grand cafe
[00:11.19] Leave their tables when you blink
[00:16.07] Every dog must have his everyday
[00:22.33] Every drunk must have his drink
[00:25.63] Don't wait for answers
[00:28.01] Just take your chances
[00:30.46] Don't ask me why
[00:37.02] All you life you had to stand in line
[00:41.65] Still you're standing on your feet
[00:45.10] All your choices made you change your mind
[00:51.47] Now your calender's complete
[00:54.91] Don't wait for answers
[00:57.42] Just take your chances
[00:59.66] Don't ask me why
[01:06.11] You can say the human heart
[01:08.17] Is only make-believe
[01:10.80] And I am only fighting fire with fire
[01:15.67] But you are still a victim
[01:17.54] Of the accidents you leave
[01:20.54] As sure as I'm a victim of desire
[01:25.54] All the servants in your new hotel
[01:30.29] Throw their roses at your feet
[01:33.74] Fool them all but baby I can tell
[01:39.99] You're no stranger to the street
[01:43.62] Don't ask for favors
[01:45.95] Don't talk to strangers
[01:48.20] Don't ask me why
[01:54.45]
[02:14.54] Yesterday you were an only child
[02:19.28] Now your ghosts have gone away
[02:22.78] You can kill them in the classic style
[02:28.98] Now you, "parlez vous francais"
[02:32.46] Don't look for answers
[02:34.90] You took your chances
[02:37.21] Don't ask me why
[02:42.89] Don't ask me why
