Angels, Punks and Raging Queens

Lyrics

[JUDITH] I played this dive in the Village Somewhere on the edge During the breaks I'd hang outside Have a drink 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 sharing 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 And somеtimes they'd stop and hear my song En routе to their fabulous scenes And I still get laughs from old photographs With angels, punks and raging queens Well, I loved 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 Everything has changed That lousy dive is a sleek boutique Priorities rearranged I long for a 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
