Lost In The Bowery

Music: D.G. Womb / Words: D.G. Womb

Late afternoon, early evening

McSorley’s East and Seventh, KGB on Fourth

Bowery Electric, Bowery Ballroom

Low Cut Connie and Shilpa Ray

There’s Joey and Dee Dee hanging outside 315

There’s Rothko, there’s Burroughs and Berrigan the poet

There’s Lou, there’s Andy waiting for The Man

They don’t have long to wait for The Starman

Chorus

Hey! What did we do, that night that we were lost in the Bowery

Hey! Who did we see, that night that we were lost in the Bowery

Eldridge, Stanton, on past Pianos

Amused by the menus in the windows of Katz

Into the tenements on Orchard, Lester, Ludlow

The rising sun over the Williamsburg Bridge

There’s Hilly, Stiv and Johnny hanging outside 315

There’s Gingsberg, there’s Hoffman and Auden the poet

There’s DeVille, Bangs, Divine the drag queen

There’s Sable Star, she’s queen of the groupie scene

Chorus

Hey! What did we do, that night that we were lost in the Bowery

Hey! Who did we see, that night that we were lost in the Bowery
