Waiting For A Dream Lyrics - Want Two - Rufus Wainwright

Waiting for the present, for the present to pass 

Waiting for a dream to last 

You are not my lover, and you never will be 

'Cause you've never done anything to hurt me 

There's a fire in the priory 

And it's ruining this cocktail party 

Yesterday I heard they cloned a baby 

Now can I finally sleep with me? 

Diving through the rising, through the rising waves of night 

Keeping a reflection of you in hindsight 

But in turning back the brackish waters will not reflect you 

After you have turned the color black of death or something like that 

There's a fire in the priory 

And it's ruining this cocktail party 

Yesterday I heard the plague is coming 

Once again, to find me

There's a fire in the priory 

And an ogre in the oval office 

Once again we all will be so broken 

Now can I finally sleep again?
