Rufus Wainwright
"I Wonder What Became Of Me"


The lights are bright
Pianos making music all the night
They pour champagne
Just like it's rain
It's a sight to see
But I wonder what became of me

Crowds go by
They're merry making laughter in their eyes
And the laughter's fine
But I wonder what became of mine

Life's sweet as honey, but still it's funny
I get this feeling that I can't analyze
It's like well maybe
When like the baby
Sees the bubble burst before it's eye

I've had my thrills
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

(Make it one for my baby.. and one more for the road...)
