[Verse 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
[Verse 2]
The Kings have all departed
There servants are nowhere
We burned out their mansions
In the name of Robespierre
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 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
The wands of smoke are rising
From the walls of the Bastille
And through the streets of Paris
Runs a sense of the unreal
[Verse 2]
The Kings have all departed
There servants are nowhere
We burned out their mansions
In the name of Robespierre
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 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
