Damsel in Distress Lyrics by Rufus Wainwright
Will you forever be a damsel in distress
Will you forever be a harbinger of loneliness
Yes, I remember smiles
Yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon within the Chelsea sky
Will you forever be wandering the wall
Looking for what you see
Your father’s face in a waterfall
Yes, I remember smiles
Yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon within the Chelsea sky
So much
You got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
But what the hell is that?
Who do you think I am?
A traveler on the wind?
I am a prince of man who was raised to soon be king
All I can do is fight
All I can do is write
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon there I learned to survive
So much
You got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
But what the hell is that?
I hope you find your way for the sake of what we’ve lost
And that there comes a day
When you realize the precious cost
Yes, I remember smiles
Yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon you in your disguise
So much
You got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
What the hell is that
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be a damsel in distress
Will you forever be a harbinger of loneliness
Yes, I remember smiles
Yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon within the Chelsea sky
Will you forever be wandering the wall
Looking for what you see
Your father’s face in a waterfall
Yes, I remember smiles
Yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon within the Chelsea sky
So much
You got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
But what the hell is that?
Who do you think I am?
A traveler on the wind?
I am a prince of man who was raised to soon be king
All I can do is fight
All I can do is write
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon there I learned to survive
So much
You got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
But what the hell is that?
I hope you find your way for the sake of what we’ve lost
And that there comes a day
When you realize the precious cost
Yes, I remember smiles
Yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon you in your disguise
So much
You got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
What the hell is that
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
