Barcelona Lyrics
Rufus Wainwright
The summer sun sets a vicious circus
When shadows held the world in place
But today I felt a chill in my apartments
Coolest place
Fuggi regal fantasima
The village larks cannot be heard
cause all the crows got panderers
I cant escape these velvet drapes,
Dont want my rings to fall off
My fingers
Fuggi regal fantasima
The mirror I find hard to face
cause I fear its a long way down
Got to get away from here, I think I know
Which hemisphere
Crazy me dont think theres pain in barcelona
They dance you round a waltz confound
But I fear its a long way down
Even if that straw I pull
And I got to fight that bull
Nothing really compares to barcelona
Besides in spain don juans to blame
But I fear its a long way down
And I fear I wont be around
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
