Lyrics Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright

Unfollow the Rules

Sometimes I feel like my heart turns to dust

Unfollow the rules

Unswallow the trust

Sometimes I feel like my brain turns to leaves

Unfollow the rules

Uncover the thieves of the game

Sometimes I reel in a fish far too small

Back into the sea, hook, sinker and all

And beyond ruins from before the fall

Stop looking and see

And just head the call of the plebes

Just like Hercules in Thebes was just

By just being a man

But I'm no Hercules

And this is Herculean

Tomorrow l will just be feeling the pain

Don't give me what I want

Just give me what I'm needing

Unfollow the rules

Unfollow the path to the seeding

I'll never know

But perhaps I'll have a feeling

Unfollow the rules

Unfollow the wrath to the stealing

But I'm no Hercules

And this is Herculean

Tomorrow I will just be feeling the pain

I'm no Hercules

And this is Herculean

Tomorrow I will just be feeling the pain

Don't give me what I want

Just give me what I'm needing

I will never know

But perhaps I'll have a feeling

Don't give me what I want

Just give me what I'm needing

I will never know

But perhaps I'll have a feeling
