Q Lazzarus is a female African-American singer, best known as a one hit wonder for the song "Goodbye Horses", which was featured in Married to the Mob.
"Goodbye Horses" was released as a single in 1991 together with the b-side song "White Lines" when it became more noticeably featured in Jonathan Demme's film "Silence Of The Lambs" as the background music to Buffalo Bill's self-admiring dance in front of his mirror. He even sings along to it ever so slightly. Here we have our stars searching the meaning of this all, while our psycho sews a new skin suit!

Q Lazzarus herself can be seen singing the song "Heaven" (written by David Byrne of "Talking Heads") in the Jonathon Demme movies "Philadelphia" (1993) and "The Candle Goes Away" from "Something Wild" (1986). She also contributed music to an underground film entitled "Twisted" in 1996.
