Casanova in hell
Rufus wainwrightIt's queer that here he can't cast his spell in her direction
Somewhere near, one senses fear
Casanova in Hell
The girl is naked
The boy is naked
He hides inside a secret chamber
There to gape through a velvet drape
And dream of rape
Casanova in Hell
Her sharp suggestion
He couldn't get an erection
Came as a shock
He finds himself a laughing-stock
His ageing fate to contemplate
Casanova in Hell
Back in the library, his revenge is his story
What he will write will recall the bite
Of his wit and legendary appetite
The sybarite, Casanova is well
For Casanova has the last laugh
Creates the myth and vindication
Of his sexual vocation
Makes the definitive collection
His lives and lovers and above all, his erection
Will live in history
*Backed by a symphony, band, and background singers, Rufus performed "Casanova in Hell" as a guest vocalist at a Pet Shop Boys concert. The BBC Radio 2 Concert was recorded in London, and was broadcasted on Radio 2 on May 27, 2006.
