Hankering Songtext
von Rufus Wainwright

I got a hankering something′s gonna happen
I may be wrong, but then again I may be right
There must be a reason that I have been hanging 'round
For so long in this goddamn café all night

Oh, I′ve sat and flipped yesterday's news
Refilled my cup of coffee
Over and over and over and over for you, dear
Oh, I've let them play grunge all the day
I reread ′zines, designed tattoos
Over and over and over and over
′Cause it's over, I belong to you


Oh, I′ll say café society ain't what it once was
If I see one more roach crossing
I′ll call the whole thing off
But I think I'll stay here, right by your entrée, dear
Hopefully, hopefully, as the English do
But thank God I′m reading Proust
Remembering things of the past
Or should I say le temps perdu?

Oh, I've sat and flipped yesterday's news
Refilled my cup of coffee
Over and over and over
Oh, I′ve let them play grunge all the day
I reread ′zines, designed tattoos
Over and over and over and over
'Cause it′s over, I belong to you
