Why do I hungrily swallow
Each word you tell me why
Why do I dream of Kafka
And the great Russian writers why
And the General says hello
And the General says hello
Now I'm finally through
And the demons are gone
Why are you
Why are you staying on
Why are you
Why are you staying on
So just go if it makes you happy
It makes me happy too
And the General says goodbye
He hopes you think of him and I
Hope you think of me sometime
In a lonely hour
Now I'm finally through
And the demons are gone
Why are you
Why are you staying on
Why are you
Why are you staying on
Maybe baby I'll come to see you
Wherever you may be
And the General may too
