Movies Of Myself - Rufus Wainwright

Stop me falling down, stop me making movies of myself

Put that old dog down, stop me making movies of myself

Bring the 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

Stop 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 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

Stop 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
