Angels, Punks and Raging Queens Lyrics by Kim Criswell

Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens (Original London Cast Recording)

0

[JUDITH]
We played this dive in the Village
Somewhere on the edge
During the breaks I'd hang outside
Have a smoke sittin' on a ledge
I'd watch the parade as it passed by
The junkies and hot-to-trot teens
And it felt so right to be sharin' the night
With angels, punks and raging queens
We played that gig for a long time
Got to know some folks
Gave 'em some change, or took their cards
Heard their schemes, listened to their jokes
Sometimes they'd stop and hear my song
En route to their fabulous scenes
And I still get laughs from old photographs
With angels, punks and raging queens
Well, I liked that time in the Village
Though I still don't know what it means
Matrons and whores, intellectual bores
Angels, punks and raging queens
I pass that place like a phantom
And everything has changed
That lousy dive is a sleek boutique
Priorities rearranged
I long for the mix of the bad old days
The ballgowns and torn-up jeans
And I sing this song for the souls who have gone
Sweet angels, punks and raging queens
Ooh, ooh
