Rufus Wainwright - Jericho lyrics

I keep thinking that you are going to change
I keep thinking that you
Are going to rearrange but, I’m a fool to
Think something so impossible

You ain’t ever gonna change
You ain’t ever gonna change oh, no
Jericho until I blow

I keep thinking that you are going to rise
I keep thinking that you
Are going to compromise but, I’m a fool to
Think something so improbable

You ain’t ever gonna rise
You ain’t ever gonna rise oh, no
Jericho until I take you by surprise

Baby I know that you’re too sad to cry
But my little darling guess what? So am I
Still I believe we ought to shed a tear
The open hearted have no thing to fear
But, I don’t even think you hear me at all
Under your medieval ceiling behind
Your biblical wall guess I’ll have to put my
Trumpet back in the case
And get behind this here
Cannon covered in lace covered in lace

I keep thinking that you are going to change
I keep thinking that you
Are going to rearrange but, I’m a fool to
Think something so impossible

You ain't ever gonna change
You ain't ever gonna change oh, no
Jericho until I blow
Until I blow (Jericho, Jericho, Jericho)
