Slow motion
[#58] | Rufus Wainwright | Foolish Love | Rufus Wainwright | 1998
I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless / I don't want to smell you and lose my senses / and smile in slow motion / with eyes in love
I twist like a corkscrew / the sweetness rising / I drink from the bottle, weeping / why won't you last? / Why can't you last?
so I will walk without care / beat my snare / look like a man who means business / go to all the poshest places / with their familiar faces / terminate all signs of weakness
oh, all for the sake of a foolish love / I will take my coffee black / never snack / hang with the wolves who are sheepish / flow through the veins of town / always frown / me and my mistress, the princess / oh, all for the sake of a foolish love
So the day noah's ark floats down park / my eyes will be simply glazed over / or better yet / I'll wear shades on sunless days / and when the sun's out, i'll stay in and slumber / oh, all for the sake of a foolish love / all for the sake of a foolish love
'cause I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless / I don't want to smell you and lose my senses / and smile in slow motion / with eyes in love
I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless / I don't want to smell you and lose my senses / and smile in slow motion / with eyes in love
I twist like a corkscrew / the sweetness rising / I drink from the bottle, weeping / why won't you last? / Why can't you last?
so I will walk without care / beat my snare / look like a man who means business / go to all the poshest places / with their familiar faces / terminate all signs of weakness
oh, all for the sake of a foolish love / I will take my coffee black / never snack / hang with the wolves who are sheepish / flow through the veins of town / always frown / me and my mistress, the princess / oh, all for the sake of a foolish love
So the day noah's ark floats down park / my eyes will be simply glazed over / or better yet / I'll wear shades on sunless days / and when the sun's out, i'll stay in and slumber / oh, all for the sake of a foolish love / all for the sake of a foolish love
'cause I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless / I don't want to smell you and lose my senses / and smile in slow motion / with eyes in love
