I'm glad you could make it
I don't have much time
so don't ask me why
I am saying goodbye.
(Don't ask me why)
No one can say
you didn't try
(Don't ask me why)
It's nothing you do
or you say or you are
(Don't ask me why)
Ask me and I promise
I'll tell you a lie.
Maybe I'm the Mystery Man
Basil to your Brenda
with a hidden agenda
got to find black orchids
or I die.
Or maybe I'm a spy.
Ask me and I promise
I'll tell you a lie.
Maybe I'm a prophecier
J.C.Penney savior
inspired behavior
won't be happy
till I'm crucified.
Or maybe I'm a spy.
Ask me and I promise
I'll tell you a lie.
Maybe I'm from Hitchock,
a secret eyewitness
to Mafia business,
got to find myself
an alibi.
Or maybe I'm a spy.
Ask me and I promise
I'll tell you a lie.
Maybe I'm a rolling stone
overly cautious
'bout gathering mosses...
But really I'm a man
at the end of his line.
So don't ask me why
I am saying goodbye
(Don't ask me why)
I'd really rather not
explain.
(Don't ask me why)
Let's finish our coffee
and then say goodbye.
Have a nice day.
Goodbye.
