Rufus Wainwright - Barcelona lyrics
[Rufus Wainwright - Barcelona lyrics]
The summer sun set a vicious circus
When shadows held the world in place
But today I felt a chill
In my apartment’s coolest place
"Fuggi Regal Fantasima"
The village larks cannot be heard
’cause all the crows got panderers
I can’t escape these velvet drapes
Don’t want my rings to fall off my fingers
"Fuggi Regal Fantasima"
The mirror I find hard to face
‘Cause, I fear it’s a long way down
Got to get away from here
Think I know which hemisphere
Crazy me don’t think there’s
Pain in Barcelona
They dance you ’round a waltz confound
But, I fear it’s a long way down
Yes, I fear it’s a long way down it's cruel
Even if that straw I pull
And I got to fight that bull
Nothing really does compare to Barcelona
Besides in Spain, Don Juan’s to blame
But, I fear it’s a long way down
But, I fear it’s a long way down
Yes, I fear it’s a long way down
And I fear I won’t be around
Got to get away from here
Think I know which hemisphere
Make sure I have all my papers
Laying out my summer clothes
Search for traps in vain like scratching
So my suitcase I can close
"Fuggi Regal Fantasima"
When shadows held the world in place
But today I felt a chill
In my apartment’s coolest place
"Fuggi Regal Fantasima"
The village larks cannot be heard
’cause all the crows got panderers
I can’t escape these velvet drapes
Don’t want my rings to fall off my fingers
"Fuggi Regal Fantasima"
The mirror I find hard to face
‘Cause, I fear it’s a long way down
Got to get away from here
Think I know which hemisphere
Crazy me don’t think there’s
Pain in Barcelona
They dance you ’round a waltz confound
But, I fear it’s a long way down
Yes, I fear it’s a long way down it's cruel
Even if that straw I pull
And I got to fight that bull
Nothing really does compare to Barcelona
Besides in Spain, Don Juan’s to blame
But, I fear it’s a long way down
But, I fear it’s a long way down
Yes, I fear it’s a long way down
And I fear I won’t be around
Got to get away from here
Think I know which hemisphere
Make sure I have all my papers
Laying out my summer clothes
Search for traps in vain like scratching
So my suitcase I can close
"Fuggi Regal Fantasima"
