Barcelona by Rufus Wainwright

The summer sun sets 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 its a long way down

Got to get away from here, i 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
Even if that straw i pull
And i got to fight that bull
Nothing really compares to barcelona
Besides in spain don juan's to blame
But i fear it's a long way down
And i fear i won't 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"
