Go Or Go Ahead - Rufus Wainwright

Thank you for this bitter knowledge

Guardian angels who left me stranded

It was worth it, feeling abandoned

Makes one hardened

But what has happened to love?

You got me writing lyrics on postcards

Then in the evenings looking at stars

But the brightest of the planets is Mars

And what has happened to love?

So I will opt for the big white limo

Vanity fairgrounds and rebel angels

You can’t be trusted with feathers so hollow

You’re heaven’s invention, steel-eyed vampires of love

You see over me

I’ll never know what

You have shown to other eyes

Go, or go ahead and surprise me

Signs you’ve lead the way to a mirage

Go, or go ahead and just try me

What has happened to love

What has happened to love

What has happened to love

Nowhere’s now here, smelling of junipers

Fell off the hay bales, I’m over the rainbows

But, oh Medusa, kiss me and crucify

This unholy notion of the mythic powers of love

Look at her eyes, look at her eyes

Forget about the ones that are crying

Look at her eyes, look at her eyes

Forget about the ones that are crying

Go, or go ahead

Go, or go ahead

Go, or go ahead

And surprise me

Go, or go ahead

Go, or go ahead

Go, or go ahead

Go, or go ahead

And just try me

What has happened to love
