Song information

Artist: Billy Joel

Lyrics

All the waiters in your grand cafe
Leave their tables when you blink
Every dog must have it 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
And I am only fighting fire with fire
You are still the victim of the accidents you leave
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

(Break)

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
