Rufus Wainwright - Go or Go Ahead Lyrics

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 the stars
But the brightest of the planets is Mars

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
Your 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
Say you've led the way to a mirage

Go or go ahead and just try me
(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 in her eyes, look in her eyes

Forget about the ones that are crying
Look in her eyes, look in 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 and surprise me
