Damsel In Distress - Rufus Wainwright

Will you forever be,

A damsel in distress?

Will you forever be,

A harbinger of loneliness?

Yes, I remember smiles

Yes, I remember wiles

Behind the Square of Sloan

Under the English moon

Within the Chelsea sky

Will you forever be,

Wandering the wall?

Lookin' for what you see

Your father’s face in a waterfall

Yes, I remember smiles

Yes, I remember wiles

Behind the Square of Sloan

Under the English moon

Within the Chelsea sky

So much

You got exactly that

You got exactly what you wanted

But what the hell is that?

Who do you think I am,

A traveler on the wind?

I am a prince of man

Who was raised to soon be king

All I can do is fight

All I can do is wright

Behind the Square of Sloan

Under the English moon

There I learned to survive

So much

You got exactly that

You got exactly what you wanted

But what the hell is that?

I hope you find your way

For the sake of what we’ve lost

And that there comes a day

When you realize the precious cost

Yes, I remember smiles

Yes, I remember wiles

Behind the Square of Sloan

Under the English moon

You in your disguise

So much

You got exactly that

You got exactly what you wanted

But what the hell is that?

Will you forever be,

A damsel in distress?

Will you forever be,

A damsel in distress?

Will you forever be,

A damsel in distress?

Will you forever be,

A damsel in distress?

Will you forever be,

A damsel in distress?

Will you forever be,

A damsel in distress?
