Cover art for Poses lyrics by Rufus Wainwright

RUFUS SAID THAT THIS SONG WAS ABOUT DRUGS and (oops sorry) about posing in the scene.

For to smokes the days away into the evenings All these poses of classical torture Ruined my mind like a snake in the orchard I did go from wanting to be someone now I'm drunk and wearing flip-flops on Fifth Avenue ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ see? it's about the lush and lavish lifestye he lives in; the drugs and posing and how it ruins you and gets you down
