I Wonder What Became Of Me – Rufus Wainwright (from “Stormy Weather” soundtrack)
By
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 be gay 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
