Rufus Wainwright - April Fools lyrics

Oh what a shame that your pockets did bleed on St. Valentine's,

And you sat in a chair thinking: "Boy, I'm such a Prince!"

Well life's a train that goes from February on, day by day,

But it's making a stop on April first

And you will believe in love

And all that it's supposed to be

But just until the fish start to smell

And you're struck down by a hammer

Sure you were swift when the handsome Greek boys dropped by with gifts

You are suave, thanks to ribbons that opened sesame

But in the stars and closer to home in every planet,

It ain't hard for me and dear JoJo to see

That you will believe in love

And all that it's supposed to be,

But just until the fish start to smell

And you're struck down by a hammer

So let it all go by, looking at the sky,

Wondering if there's clouds and stuff in hell
