Letra de The Palace Of Versailles

[Verso 1]
The wands of smoke are rising
From the walls of the Bastille
And through the streets of Paris
Runs a sense of the unreal

[Verso 2]
The Kings have all departed
There servants are nowhere
We burned out their mansions
In the name of Robespierre

[Coro]
And still we wait
To see the day begin
Our time is wasting in the wind
Wondering why
Wondering why, it echoes
Through the lonely palace of Versailles

[Verso 3]
Inside the midnight councils
The lamps are burning low
Oh you sit and talk all through the night
But there's just no place to go

[Verso 4]
And Bonaparte is coming
With his army from the south
Marat your days are numbered
And we live hand to mouth

[Coro]
While we wait
To see the day begin
Our time is wasting in the wind
Wondering why
Wondering why, it echoes
Through the lonely palace of Versailles

[Verso 5]
The ghost of revolution
Still prowls the Paris streets
Down all the restless centuries
It wonders incomplete

[Verso 6]
It speaks inside the cheap red wine
Of cafe summer nights
Its red and amber voices
Call the cars at traffic lights

[Coro]
Why do you wait
To see the day begin
Your time is wasting in the wind
Wondering why
Wondering why, it echoes
Through the lonely palace of Versailles

[Conclusi�n]
Wondering why, it echoes
Through the lonely palace of Versailles
