April Fools

Rufus Wainwright

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 its 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 opened sesame
But in the stars and closer to home in every planet
It ain't hard for me and dear Jojo 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
Let it all go by, looking at the sky
Wondering if there's clouds in hell

And you will believe in love
And all that it's supposed to be
Yes, you will believe in love
'Cause you will believe in love
And all that it's supposed to be
Yes, you will believe in love
And you will believe in love
And all that it's supposed to be
Yes, you will believe in love
And you will believe in love
And all that it's supposed to be
Yes, you will believe in love
