Rufus Wainwright - Damsel in Distress lyrics

[Rufus Wainwright - Damsel in Distress lyrics]

Will you forever be a damsel in distress?
Will you forever be a
Harbinger of loneliness?
Yes,  I remember smiles
Yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon within the Chelsea sky

Will you forever be wandering the wall?
Looking for what you see
Your father’s face in a waterfall
Yes, I remember smiles yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon within the Chelsea sky

So much you got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
But what the hell is that?

Who do you think I am?
A traveler on the wind?
I am a prince of men who
Was raised to soon be king
All I can do is fight all I can do is wright
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon there
I learned to survive

So much you got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
But what the hell is that?

I hope you find your way for
The sake of what we’ve lost
And that there comes a day
When you realize the precious cost
Yes, I remember smiles yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon you in your disguise

So much you got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
What the hell is that?

Will you forever be a damsel in distress?
Will you forever be a damsel in distress?
Will you forever be a damsel in distress?
Will you forever be a damsel in distress?
Will you forever be a damsel in distress?
Will you forever be a damsel in distress?
