[Rufus Wainwright - I Don't Know What It Is lyrics]

I don't know what it is
But, you got to do it
I don't know where to go
But, you got to be there
I don't know where to fall
But, I know that it's comfortable where
I don't know where it is

Putting all of my time in learning to care
And a bucket of rhymes i threw up somewhere
Want a locket of who
Made me lose my perfunctory view
Of all that is around and of all that I do

So I knock on the door
Take a step that is new
Never been here before
Is there anyone else who's too
In love with beauty?
Playing all of the games
Who thinks three's company
Is there anyone else who
Has slightly mysterious bruises?
I don't know what it is

Take a lookin around at friendly faces
All declaring a war on far off places
Is there anyone else who is
Through with complaining about what's
Done unto us

So I knock on the door and I am on a train
Going god knows where to to get me over
To get me over

Give me heaven or hell calais or Dover

I was hoping the train was my big number
Stopping in Santa Fe and the Atchison Topeka
Though I'm chugging along
Put away by the crossing hand
We'll be heading for Portland
Or Limburgh or Lower Manhattan
Find myself running around

I don't know what it is so get me over
I don't know what it is so get me over
I don't know what it is so get me over
To get me over you gotta do it
You gotta be there
