Lyrics Hedwig's Lament - Stephen Trask, John Cameron Mitchell

Hedwig's Lament

Trask Stephen
Hedwig And The Angry Inch (original cast)
HEDWIG’S LAMENT
I was born on the other side
of a town ripped in two
And no matter how hard I’ve tried
I end up black and blue
I rose from off of the doctor’s slab
I lost a piece of my heart
Now everyone gets to take a stab
They cut me up into parts
I gave a piece to my mother
I gave a piece to my man
I gave a piece to the rock star
He took the good stuff and ran
Song written by Stephen Trask
