Lyrics Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright

Peaceful Afternoon

Well it's coming onto 13 years together, babe

I pray that it's the luck... a lucky, lucky number

And although I know I've brought you joy and happiness, babe

I've also been a fec-- a fecund resource for anger

'Cause it's all a part of the game

Yeah, it's all a part of the symphony

And I pray that your face is the last I see

On a peaceful afternoon

And now that our machine is running at full steam

I pray that nothing shucks a wrench into the matter

But between sex and death and tryin' to keep the kitchen clean

Remember wild the roses bloom best in ruins forever after

'Cause it's all a part of the game

Yeah, it's all a part of the symphony

And I pray that your face is the last I see

On a peaceful afternoon

Leaving the living room

Yeah, it's all a part of the game

Yeah, it's all a part of the symphony

And I pray that your face is the last I see

On a peaceful afternoon

And just in case you go before me

Rest assured that of this I can guarantee

That my face, that my face is the last you'll see

On a peaceful afternoon

Leaving the living

Living room
