Greek Song Lyrics
Rufus Wainwright
You who were born with the sun above your shoulders
You turn me on you turn me on
You have to know
You who were born where the sun she keeps her distance
You turn me on you turn me on
But so does she
You who were born there where beauty is existence
You turn me on you turn me
Your body heals my soul
You who were born where you shiver and you shudder
You turn me on the girl is gone so come on
Lets go
All the pearls of china
Fade astride a volta
Dont sew beelines to anybodys hide
Save your poison for a lover who is on your side
One way is rome and the other way is mecca
On either side on either side
Of our motorbike
One way is home and the other way is papa
On either side on either side and
Prepared to strike
When I get back I will bleed after my beating
Dont leave me here dont leave me here
Im scared to death
All the pearls of china
Fade astride a volta
Dont sew beelines to anybodys hide
Save your poison for a lover who is on your side
All the pearls of china
Fade astride a volta
Dont sew beelines to anybodys hide
Save your poison for a lover who is on your side
