Sanssouci Lyrics - Release The Stars - Rufus Wainwright

Who will be at Sanssouci tonight 

The boys that made me lose the blues 

And then my eyesight 

All together playing games of cards 

Gambling the tiny shards of brass 

Once my heart 

Who will be at Sanssouci tonight 

I'm lookin' through the window from the garden 

Waiting for a call in my hotel room 

I'm tired of writing elegies to boredom 

I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Who will be at Sanssouci tonight 

Surely not the one that loves me truly, only 

He's probably down at the stables there 

Gently polishing my cabriolet 

Only I don't care I really want to go 

So I'm opening the doorway to the ballroom 

Callin' up some dude from my hotel room 

I'm tired of writing elegies in general 

I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight 

Tonight, tonight 

The candles seem to all have been blown out 

Cupid's wings have cobweb rings and noone's about 

Could it be I came to the wrong place 

But I swear I saw them climb the stairs 

That sweet master race

Who will be at Sanssouci tonight 

It's only when you're outside that you notice 

Only through the window you can see them 

Once the door is open, all will vanish 

Ain't nobody at Sanssouci tonight 

Tonight, tonight
