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

This road

Even if that straw i pulled

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

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
