Going To A Town

making my own way home
ain't gonna be alone
i got a life to lead
i got a soul to feed
i got a dream to heed
and that's all i need

Rufus Wainwright

I'm Going To A Town

Rufus Wainwright

That Has Already Been Burned Down

i'm going to a town that has already been burned down

i'm going to a place that has already been disgraced

i'm gonna see some folks who have already been let down

i'm so tired of America

i'm gonna make it up for all of the Sunday times

i'm gonna make it up for all of the nursery rhymes

they never really seem to want to tell the truth

i'm so tired of you, America

making my own way home

ain't gonna be alone

i got a life to lead, America

i got a life to lead

tell me

do you really think you go to hell for having love?

tell me

and laugh at thinking everything that you've done is good?

i really need to know

after soaking the body of Jesus Christ in blood

i'm so tired of America

i really need to know

i may just never see you again

or might as well

you took advantage of a world that loved you well

i'm going to a town that has already been burned down

i'm so tired of you, America

making my own way home

ain't gonna be alone

i got a life to lead, America

i got a life to lead

i got a soul to feed

i got a dream to need

and that's all i need

making my own way home

ain't gonna be alone

i'm going to a town that has already been burned down

What Can I Do ?

what can i do

when the bird's got to die

what can i do

when she's too weak to fly

what can i do

when she's calling my names

he's crying

mama, help me to live

what can i do
