  • I was going round from the town to the country
    Then going back round
    From the country back to the town
    I was making rounds from the back to my forehead
    Then going back round
    From the front to the back of my crown

    There's always trouble in paradise
    Don't matter if your drinks are neat or on ice
    There's always trouble in paradise
    Don't matter if you're good or bad or mean or awfully nice

    You see me here in my dress all in order
    You see me there, my hair
    A solid steel bob
    But all you see is in fact just the armor
    Don't see me laughing with joy
    And the occasional sob

    There's always trouble in paradise
    Don't matter if your drinks are neat or on ice
    There's always trouble in paradise
    Don't matter if you're good or bad or mean or awfully nice

    And when I'm gone you're gonna miss me so!
    But not for long because I taught you what's de trops
    But there's always trouble in paradise
    And I bet I'll be there because you know in fact I'm actually rather nice Writer/s: Rufus Wainwright
