Bowery Boy Blue: Music
Ah, What a Cruel Change
(Bowery Boy Blue)
July 29, 2008
You can hear those voices, singin' like angels, ringin' in the rafters. And it's a beautiful thing. I bet you never thought that they could hurt you.
You shoulda seen your face - you looked like Osiris. You shoulda seen your face - like you were resurrected by Isis.
(Ah, What a cruel change.
Ah, What a cruel change.
Ah, what a cruel change - came over you.)
You been all over this town, searchin' for all of the parts of yourself that you left around here.
But you won't get no help. No, not from me, and not from the people who care about you.
You shoulda been lookin' forward, and not to the sky. You shoulda been lookin' right in front of your eyes.
(Chorus)
You were such and idealist. Always had so much faith in the idols we hide from ourselves. Don't think those idols can't see you, cause, guess what, they do and they're gonna leave you now.
You shoulda held your breath, but you had to be like Horestes. You shoulda held your breath, oh but look what's happened now to Elektra.
(Chorus)
