Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Well, she weren't so little
And she wasn't really nice, no
We all thought she was a goner
'Til she was sighted once or twice
Pretty as a picture
But the picture finally cracked, yeah
Her whole world got dead and buried
Now she's come a-crawling back
(Cecilia) Cecilia, I never dug your trip, ooh
(Cecilia) Cecilia, is that a vapor on your lip?
(Saint C) You 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, my God, 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
Whoo!
How she ever got her sainthood
Kind of never made no sense, m-hmm
Two strikes in her favor
And eighty-eight strikes against
Squandered her credentials
Guzzling canned heat with the boys, yeah
She said she heard sweet, sweet music
But all she was hearing was noise
(Cecilia) Cecilia, I never dug your trip, ooh
(Cecilia) Cecilia, is that a vapor on your lip?
(Saint C) You 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, my God, 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
(Cecilia) Goodbye, my friend
(Cecilia) If I should ever see you
(Cecilia) It won't be the end
