The Wands of smoke are rising
from the walls of the Bastille
And through the streets of Paris
Runs a sense of the unreal
The kings have all departed
Their servants are nowhere
We burned out all their mansions
In the name of Robespierre
And still we wait
To see e day begin
Our time is waiting in the wind
Wondering why
Wondering why, it echoes
Through the lonely palace of Versalille
Inside the midnight councils
The lamps are burning low
On you sit and talk all through the night
But there's just no place to go
And bonaparte is coming
With his army from the South
Marat you days are numbered
And we live hand to mouth
While we wait
To see the day being
Our time is wasting in the wind
Wondering why
Wondering why, it echoes
Through the lonely place of Versailles
The Ghost of revolution
Still prowls the Paris streets
Down all the restless centuries
It wanders incomplete
It speaks inside the cheap red wine
Of cafe summer nights
Its red and amber voices
Call the cars at traffic lights
Why do you wait
To see the day begin
Your time is wasting in the wind
Wondering why
Wondering why, it ecoes
Through the loinely palae of Versailles
Wondering why, it echoes
Through the lonely palace of Versailles
