RUFUS WAINWRIGHT - Waiting For A Dream lyrics

rate me

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?
