RUFUS WAINWRIGHT LYRICS - April Fools

"April Fools"



Oh what a shame that your pockets did bleed on st. valentine's

And you sat in a chair

Thinking "boy i'm such a prince!"

Well, life's a train that goes from february on

Day by day

But it's making a stop on april first



And you will believe in love

And all that it's supposed to be

But just until the fish start to smell

And you're struck down by a hammer



Sure, you were swift

When the handsome greek boys dropped by with gifts

You are suave

Thanks to ribbons that open sesame

But in the stars and closer to home, in every planet

It ain't hard for me and dear jo jo to see



That you will believe in love

And all that it's supposed to be

But just until the fish start to smell

And you're struck down by a hammer



So let it all go by

Looking at the sky

Wondering if there's clouds and stuff in hell



And you will believe in love

And all that it's supposed to be

But just until the fish start to smell

And you're struck down by a hammer
