Testo Life is Thin - Rufus Wainwright
Testo della canzone Life is Thin (Rufus Wainwright), tratta dall'album John Cassavetes' Opening Night (Original West End Live Cast Recording)
You alright? (No, I'm not)
Come, stop that., pull yourself together
Play the shit out of it
I know you two conflict with each other
Long road and there's miles to go
This silly world we're living for
Can disappear in a matter of a minute
Don't get your hopes up anymore
Life is thin (I'm not mad at you)
The pyramids are a house of cards
A cathedral, a comic strip novella
The Empire State Building toothpick shots
Life is thin
What are you doing? Talking to your pictures?
Where were you today?
I've been home for hours, I missed you
Marty, don't, I wanna tell you something
Is it the end of the world? (No)
OK, what is it?
I'm not good enough for you
You're not good enough for me
But Virginia, I love you, you're my inspiration
Marty, don't, I don't love you
OK, OK, what's the problem?
I've met someone else (OK)
Fuck it, I can't do it, I can't
What?
I just wanna be funny., oh
You are funny (not funny, then, I wanna be different)
You're different (don't say that)
You don't know what the hell you're talking about (I don't)
It's over before you know it
It's over even before you blow it
You're welcome and thanks for coming
Yes, I've patiently been waiting for you
I went to see my first husband today (and now?)
Ah, well, what's new? (You're in)
Is he still interesting, is he's still attractive
Is he a disappointment? (No, I guess not)
Well, that's normal (you don't know what you're talking about)
I don't know what I'm talking - (I want you to know)
Why? (Uhm, because I don't wanna be with you anymore)
Good reason, I am not your thrilling ex-husband
So if you promise to stay with me, I'll get you an escort
It's over before you know it
It's over even before you blow it
You're welcome and thanks for coming
Yes, I've patiently been waiting for you
You don't know me (and now?)
I don't know you (you win), I don't know you
God, you say that again (I said what again?), you don't know you-
Virginia
Virginia, do you know what love means? It means cooking dinner
(I hope so) it means loving my photographs
It means talking to me
I'd love to be funny with you
Oh, I'd love to be devoted to your photographs
I'd like to be interested (well, it's simple)
You know, it's something I had in my life, and it's gone
God, I was always happy
I was full of laughs and I liked people
I had a lot of energy
Hey, I want me to tell you the truth, listen to this
When I was 17, I dated every night (Virginia, I loved you)
I would ride on the back of a motorcycle
I would hold on tight
We had fun and I made love in a parked car
Oh, I held my boyfriend's hand
I kissed him on the street, I wasn't afraid of anything
I drank beer and booze (go get your fucking drink)
No, you're not listening
Ah!
This silly world we're living for
Cannot explode in the heat of the moment
Don't get your hopes up, be a bore
'Cause life is thin (guys, love me.)
An eyelash that can be a mortal blow
Think of an ash, before it's on your brain, yeah
Walk on the lake, you'll see a sparkling snow
Over the ice, it's breaking
Guys loved me
I was very much in love with you, Virginia
Ha, well, what was that?
What time period was that, please?
You don't get to me (huh!)
You wanna get to me, but you don't get to me
There is no way for you to get to me
You wanna get drunk? Go ahead
You wanna get high? Go ahead
You wanna fuck some guy? Go ahead
That is not my problem
God, what a mess I am, I'm begging again
Haha, I'm sorry, come on, what am I fighting about?
You wanna be young again, is that it? (Come on)
This silly world we're living for
Can expire in a fraction of a second
Don't get your hopes up, it's for sure
Life is thin
Darling, did I hurt you?
What happened? Is she hurt? What is it?
You better get out there, she's getting up
Manny, she needs help., can I call a doctor?
Okay, signal us, we'll get the curtain in
Let's just call in a doctor
Don't be afraid, I love you
You love me? (I love you; I have always loved you)
You're a wonderful actor, Maurice
But we must never forget that this is only a play (uh)
It's over before you know it
It's over even before you know it
You're welcome and thanks for coming
Yes, I've patiently have been waiting for you
I think it's wonderful you told everyone Maurice is just an actor
And now... (and what they were watching is a play, bravo!)
You're an
