Don't Ask Me Why

All the waiters in your grand cafe
Leave their tables when you blink, woah oh
Every dog must have his every day
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, woah oh
All your choices made you change your mind
Now your calender'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, woah 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, woah 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
