| i don't want to hold you and feel so helpless i don't want to smell you and love my senses and smile in slow motion with eyes in love i twist like a corkscrew, the sweetness rising i drink from the bottle weeping why won't you last? why can't you last? so i will walk without care, beat my snare look like a man who means business go to all the poshest places with their familiar terminate all signs of weakness oh, all for the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love i will take my coffee black, never snack hang with the wolves who are sheepish flow through all the veins of town, always frown me and my mistress the princess oh, all for the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love so the day noah's ark floats down park my eyes will be simply glazed over or better yet i'll wear shades on sunless days and when the sun's out i'll stay in and slumber oh, all for the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love |
| "it's about the type of person you fall in love with who, when you take one look at him, you know it will end tragically. you know you can never really have him, but it's what you've always wanted - impossible love. it's rather up-tempo and happy sounding, but still sad. i remember writing it almost like a mantra, saying to myself "lighten up and trudge on". that's all you can do. get out with class, the way cole porter would." - rufus wainwright |
