Movies of Myself Songtext
von Rufus Wainwright

Stop me falling down
Stop me making movies of myself
Put that old dog down
Stop me making movies of myself (movies of myself)

Bring that carriage ′round
Get me to the garden of sleep
Make that high gate speak
Perrier out of a paper bag
Looking like a hag

And start giving me something
A love that is longer than a day
Start making my heart sing
Something that it doesn't want to say
I′m handing it over
I'm saying that you're the only one
Don′t run for the border, turn that corner
Already you′ve run in movies of myself


Darling don't you ever let me go (me go)
Wrap your loving arms around me
While the cold winds blow
Tell me what I really want to know

′Cause I'm looking for a reason, a person, a painting
A Saturday evening, post edition by Jesus
An old piece of bacon never eaten by Elvis
So I′ll say

Start giving me something
A love that is longer than a day
Start making my heart sing
Something that it doesn't want to say
I′m handing it over
I'm saying that you're the only one
Don′t run for the border, turn that corner
In movies of myself
Oh, I′ve seen it all before, in movies of myself

(Don't move around me more, turn that back down)
In movies of myself, in movies of myself
(Don′t move around me more, turn that back down)
In movies of myself, in movies of myself
(Don't move around me more, turn that back down)
