Stepping along the hum of the sidewalk A marionette, a slave Your legs are wood and tied to the city Who has final say It's hard to hug the girders, my brother It's hard to swing and waltz With your tempo one beat less than the others You're three times more at fault I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay Yeah I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay If your silver wing is stuck on horizons Catch it when it goes Or they'll take a piece and pull back the curtains And there's nothing left but your clothes I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay Yeah, I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay No The strings are why you move to Geppeto The daily hourglass This match made was made in a moment But now that moment's passed I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay Yeah, I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay No, I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay Yeah, I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay No
