All the waiters in your grand cafe 
Leave their tables when you blink 
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 had to stand in line 
Still you're standing on your feet 
All your choices made you change your mind 
Now your calendar's complete 
Don't wait for answers 
Just take your chances 
Don't ask me why 

You can say the human heart is only make believe 
And I am only fighting fire with fire 
But you are still a 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 
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 
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
