Holding my breath in Père Lachaise until the sky turns blue They don't know me and I don't know you And the razor wire won't keep me out tonight Holding my breath in Père Lachaise until the sky turns blue Pack a lunch and keep the ghosts company And my friends have all given up on me 'Cause I can't be dead to the world Solemn and sad before a god they say is not half bad There are things you just don't know And your lover goes all over the world You just stopped to say hello Oh I don't know But I got my reasons I got my reasons Why I'm going going going gone and I I got my reasons I got my reasons Why I'm going going going gone away There's only so long that you can stay gone And though you're alone you can't go home again See Riverside and whistle on by There are things you just don't know And your lover goes all over the world You just stopped to say hello Oh I don't know But I got my reasons Got my reasons Why I'm going going going gone and I I got my reasons I got my reasons Why I'm going going going gone away I'm going gone away I'm going gone away I'm going gone away
