Rufus Wainwright - Go Or Go Ahead lyrics

Thank you for this bitter knowledge, guardian angels who left me stranded

It was worth it, feeling abandoned

Makes one hardened, but what has happened to love?

You got me writing lyrics on postcards, then in the evening looking at the stars

But the brightest of the planets is Mars, then what has happened to love?

So I will opt for the big white limo, vanity fairgrounds, and rebel angels

You can't be trusted with feathers so hollow

Your heaven's inventions, steel-eyed vampires of love

You see over me, I'll never know what you have shown to other eyes

Go or go ahead and surprise me

Say you've lead the way to a mirage

Go or go ahead and just try me

Nowhere's now here smelling of junipers

Fell off the hay bales, I'm over the rainbows

But of Medusa, kiss me and crucify,

This unholy notion of the mythic power of love

Look in her eyes, look in her eyes, forget about the ones that are crying

Look in her eyes, look in her eyes, forget about the ones that are crying

Go or go ahead, go or go ahead, go or go ahead and surprise me

Go or go ahead, go or go ahead, go or go ahead and just try me

(Then what has happened to love...)
