Waiting for a Dream

Rufus Wainwright

Waiting for the present, for the present to pass 
Waiting for a dream to last 
You are not my lover, and you never will be 
'Cause you've never done anything to hurt me 

There's a fire in the priory 
And it's ruining this cocktail party 
Yesterday I heard they cloned a baby 
Now can I finally sleep with me? 

Diving through the rising, through the rising waves of night 
Keeping a reflection of you in hindsight 
But in turning back the brackish waters will not reflect you 
After you have turned the color black of death or something like that 

There's a fire in the priory 
And it's ruining this cocktail party 
Yesterday I heard the plague is coming 
Once again, to find me 

There's a fire in the priory 
And an ogre in the oval office 
Once again we all will be so broken 
Now can I finally sleep again?
