FASCISTFACES

Rufus Wainwright - Welcome to the Ball (Extended Version)

I will never be defeated, I will never come undone

I will never know the way it feels to be just anyone

I will never fall just as you all fall around me so

I will never know, I will never know

I will never be the one who tells you that I need you more

Nor will I have to be the one who’s walking out the door

When the hour has struck you will receive
 a note addressed from me

I will never be
, be the one you see

So, baby, welcome to the ball

Don’t worry all about nothing at all

I don’t know how you made it in

But since you have arrived
, let it begin

‘Cause something in your eyes has made this room a much more brighter place

The chandeliers and fireplaces all seem jealous of your face

Something in your smile has left a light that has left a trace

Come and take my hand and let you lead me to the promise land

That no one could have ever been promised

I don’t know if you feel it and I don’t really care

‘Cause long ago when I was young and innocent they brought me here

Far from my mother’s home
, I was all alone, I was all alone

So, baby, welcome to the ball

Don’t worry all about nothing at all

I don’t know how you made it in

But since you have arrived, let it begin
