Me and Liza Lyrics

[Verse 1]:
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Famous 'till the day that we die
Mamma made it so hard to try
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Daddy writing unanswered love letters why?
Come on Liza, give me a try

[Chorus]:
Blowing on the embers of fame
Burning down the house of your name
Everything can go up in flames
As long as you have something to frame

[Verse 2]:
Energiser baby's on fire
No one's gonna hatchet you down
Terminator, thief of desire
No one's getting out of this town

[Chorus]:
Poking at the embers of fame
Burning down the house of your name
Everything can go up in flames
As long as you have something to frame

See Rufus Wainwright Live

Get tickets as low as $70

[Verse 3]:
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Happy that we're now such good friends
Looking forward, forward to seeing you
Love like ours we cannot pretend

[Chorus]:
Choking on the embers of fame
Burning down the house of your name
Everything can go up in flames
As long as you have something to frame

[Outro]:
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Me and Liza, Liza and I

About

“Me and Liza” was the lead single and only previously unreleased track from Rufus Wainwright’s 2014 compilation Vibrate: The Best of Rufus Wainwright. The Bowie-esque track was produced and co-written by longtime Wainwright collaborator Guy Chambers.

Of the song, Wainwright coyly said:

I have to be very diplomatic with the track. Let’s just say it’s about legend and arson. It’s very playful. A playful jab. Oh, and you know, possibly a hit?
