I Wonder What Became of Me Songtext

von Rufus Wainwright

The lights are bright
Pianos makin music all the night
They push in pain just like it's rain
It's a sight to see
But i wonder what became of me

Crowds go by, they're merry makin laughter in their eyes
And laughter's fine
But i wonder what became of me

Life's sweet as honey
But still it's funny
I get this feeling that i can't analyse
It's like well maybe
When like a baby
See's a bubble burst before its eyes

I've had my threats
They've lit my cigarettes with dollar bills
But i can't begin (?)
For along the way
Something went astray

And i can't explain
It's the same champagne
It's a sight to see
But i wonder what became of me

("...make it one for my baby, and one more for the road...")
