Greek Song

Rufus Wainwright

You who were born with the sun above your shoulders

You turn me on you turn me on

You have to know

You who were born where the sun she keeps her distance

You turn me on you turn me on

But so does she



You who were born there where beauty is existence

You turn me on you turn me

Your body heals my soul



You who were born where you shiver and you shudder

You turn me on the girl is gone so come on

Let's go



All the pearls of China

Fade astride a volta

Don't sew beelines to anybody's hide

Save your poison for a lover who is on your side



One way is Rome and the other way is Mecca

On either side on either side

Of our motorbike

One way is home and the other way is papa

On either side on either side and prepared to strike.



When I get back

I will dream in Barnes and Noble's

Oh leave me here oh leave me

Where angles fear to tread



When I get back I will bleed after my beating

Don't leave me here don't leave me here

I'm scared to death



All the pearls of China

fade astride a volta

don't sew beelines to anybody's hide

Save your poison for a lover who is on you side



All the pearls of China

Fade astride a volta

don't sew beelines to anybody's hide

Save your poison for a lover who is on your side.
