All the waiters in your grand cafe Leave their tables when you blink Oh, every dog must have his everyday Every drunk must have his drink Don’t wait for answers Just take your chances Don’t ask me why All your life you’ve had to stand in line Still you’re standing on your feet Oh, all your choices make you change your mind Now your calendar’s complete Don’t wait for answers Just take your chances Don’t ask me why Umm, you can say the human heart is only make-believe But I am only fighting fire with fire You are still the victim of the accidents you leave As sure as I’m a victim of desire All the servants in your new hotel Throw their roses at your feet Oh, fool them all but baby I can tell You’re no stranger to the street Don’t ask for favors Don’t talk to strangers Don’t ask me why Yesterday you were an only child Now your ghosts have gone away Oh, you can kill them in the classic style Now you parlez-vous francais Don’t look for answers You took your chances Don’t ask me why Don’t ask me why ---

Wake up late Day is still dawning Get out on the road Meet up with a man His face well worn in He’s carrying a load On the way to paradise Summer rain falls Head for some shelter Close to a wall See the lady dressed in chance You try to help her She heeds your call On the way to paradise Find a hidden door That leads to a garden And venture through Sunshine’s bright A witness to pardon The world that you knew On the way to paradise Ornamental Or warm and gentle On the way to paradise Ornamental Or warm and gentle On the way to paradise As you will some day ---
