Hometown Waltz Lyrics - Want Two - Rufus Wainwright

The drummers and jugglers in Montreal 

Don't even exist at all 

So I'm tearing up these tarot cards and Venetians clowns 

Antique shops and alcoholic homosexuals 

You may ask why I want to torch my home town 

Partly it's bitterness and hopping 'round and 'round again 

On Ontario Street looking up 

Maybe I'll catch him on his way to the show 

You travel the world and find all the answers 

Everything operates on the unattainables 

And then you hear your mother laugh attached to the phone 

Could have walked around the block 'cause all roads lead to home

Say, will you ever ever ever know, 

Ever ever ever fly away? 

Will you ever ever ever go, 

Ever ever ever find a way?
