Barcelona - Rufus Wainwright

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

Yes, I fear it’s a long way down

It’s cruel

Even if that straw I pull

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

But I fear it’s a long way down

Yes, 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
