Blue Öyster Cult

The Return of St. Cecilia

Well she wurn't so little

And she wasn't really nice

We all thought she was a goner

Till she was sighted once or twice

Pretty as a picture

But the picture finally cracked

Her whole world got dead and buried

Now she's come a-crawling back

Cecilia

Cecilia, I never dug your trip

Cecilia

Cecilia! Is that a vaper on your lip?

Saint C

Y'know it's time you faced the news

Cecilia

Blessed lady, nobody ever dug your blues

Back back

Back back. You slipped the cracks

Click clack, Migod she's back on track

CeeCee

CeeCee, why'd you paint us black?

Look back

All the time you stabbed our back

(And that's a fact)

How she ever got her sainthood kind of never made no sense

There were two strikes in her favor and eighty-eight strikes against

Squandered her credentials guzzling canned heat with the boys

She said she heard sweet, sweet music

But all she was hearing was noise

Cecilia

Cecilia, I never dug your trip

Cecilia

Cecilia! Is that a vaper on your lip?

Saint C

Y'know it's time you faced the news

Cecilia

Blessed lady, nobody ever dug your blues

Back back

Back back. You slipped the cracks

Click clack, Migod she's back on track

CeeCee

CeeCee, why'd you paint us black?

Look back

All the time you stabbed our back

(And that's a fact)

Cecilia, is that you

Or just a shadow?

Cecilia, tell me true

We heard you got your head bust out in Colorado

Goodbye Cecilia, my friend

If I ever should see you

It won't be the end
