Rufus Wainwright - Jericho 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 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 Until I blow
