Rufus Wainwright Jericho song lyrics

I keep thinking that you are going to change

I keep thinking that you are going to rearrange

But I’m a fool to think something so impossible

You ain’t ever gonna change

You ain’t ever gonna change

Oh no Jericho

Until I blow

I keep thinking that you are going to rise

I keep thinking that you are going to compromise

But I’m a fool to think something so improbable

You ain’t ever gonna rise

You ain’t ever gonna rise

Oh no Jericho

Until I take you by surprise

Baby I know that you’re too sad to cry

But my little darling guess what? So am I

Still I believe we ought to shed a tear

The open hearted have no thing to fear

But I don’t even think you hear me at all

Under your medieval ceiling behind your biblical wall

Guess I’ll have to put my trumpet back in the case

And get behind this here canon covered in lace

Covered in lace

I keep thinking that you are going to change

I keep that you are going to rearrange

But I’m a fool to think something so impossible

You ain't ever gonna change

You ain't ever gonna change

Oh no Jericho

Until I blow

Until I blow

Jericho

Jericho
