Lyrics: [Verse 1] Dear summer’s gone, the days are grey now The money’s gone my papa gave me I’m tired of waiting, I’m tired of saving Every last memory of mine [Verse 2] I walked straight to this place on Broadway Where there were many people dancing Some seemed to be praying Yeah, papa leaved a stain with blood (Maybe it was wine, I don’t know) [Bridge] But it was happy, it was happy I was sweating and I wish I’d never stop [Verse 3] The time passed on so quick and easy I clapped my toes, I couldn’t help but smile The stranger that I noticed in the corner Seemed to be staring at my mouth [Verse 4] And they’re tumbling down the tiny hours The joint had cleared out long ago A woman handed me a napkin Just as the stranger approached, yeah [Verse 5] “May I sit down”, he said so softly His voice surprising in its kindness He said, “Now you seem to be alone here, I’d like to make you an offer.” [Verse 6] Well, I could offer you this powder Maybe a supple pound of flesh Could be a man, could be a woman Or anything you might suggest [Chorus] So why not? Oh-ho-ho Why not? Just give me your little music box/bags [Verse 7] He said, I know this place is wretched And I’m a joker, I’m disgusting, I know that But all the trains have stopped running One must take comfort where one lies [Chorus] Why not? Oh-ho-ho Why not? Just give me your little music box/bags Why not? Just give me your little music box/bags Give me your little music box/bags Give me your little music box/bags Tags (ignore): Lostwave, lost songs, lost media, unidentified song
