Well we hope you all enjoyed the show
Hope it was not anti-climatic
Now there’s something we want you to know
And we don’t want to sound didactic
entire cast: But if there’s one thing we Can say
I know it sounds a bit cliche
There’s no such thing
As just an ordinary day
And you don’t have to build a roller coaster
To find your own way to make the most of
These days of summer
And dance to the beat of a different drummer
Just grab those opportunities when you see 'em
'Cause every day’s a brand new day, you gotta Carpe Diem
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We’re so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside
There behind a glass stands a real blade of grass
Be careful as you pass, move along, move along
Come inside, the show’s about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you’ll get your money’s worth
Greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth
You’ve got to see the show, it’s a dynamo
You’ve got to see the show, it’s rock and roll
Right before your eyes we pull laughter from the skies
And he laughs until he cries, then he dies, then he dies
Come inside, the show’s about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
You’ve got to see the show, it’s a dynamo
You’ve got to see the show, it’s rock and roll
Soon the Gypsy Queen in a glaze of Vaseline
Will perform on guillotine, what a scene, what a scene
Next upon the stand will you please extend a hand
To Alexander’s Ragtime Band, Dixieland, Dixieland
There’s nothing here that I can understand
And no one cares I’m a lonely man
I touch your face and I don’t know why
I call your name but you’re going by
Now I’m alone again.
I have no name for each and every day
Until the year is done and fades away
There’s a time in between the two
The old years gone by but it’s not the new
And I, I, I…
I know that’ll be all
Alone again, alone again tonight oh I’m
Alone again, alone again tonight oh I’m
Alone again, and it seems to me that every time I try to change
Say that you’re say that you’ll
Help me reach the other side
There’s a new moon rising on the other side
The other side of you
Talk to yourself and someone else
What you tryin’ to do
You maybe will, you maybe won’t
It’s all for you to say
You say you do, and then you don’t
It’s only you in the way, yeah yeah
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you’ll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you
Or cancel it though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in your pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate
I am the politician and I decide your fate
We look hard
We look through
We look hard to see for real
Such things I hear, they don’t make sense
I don’t see much evidence
I don’t feel. I don’t feel. I don’t Feel
A long long long long train
A long train held up by page on page
A hard reign held up by rage
Once a railroad
Now it’s done
I hear the roar of the big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear your empire down
We got the empire, now as then,
We don’t doubt, we don’t take reflection,
Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me
Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah I’ll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you’re my friend
And our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
Hopin’ that you’d find your own way in
But how can I protect you
Or try not to neglect you
When you won’t take the love I have to give
I bought me an illusion
An I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams
And I had to have them all
Down on the boulevard they take it hard
They look at life with such disregard
They say it can’t be won
The way the game is run
But if you choose to stay
You end up playing anyway
It’s okay…
The kid’s in shock up and down the block
The folks are home playing beat the clock
Down at the golden cup
They set the young ones up
Under the neon light
Selling day for night
It’s alright…
Nobody rides for free
Nobody gets it like they want it to be
Nobody hands you any guarantee
Nobody
The electric lash of trees in the studio
Fills my head with light
Only the voice of the girl on the radio
Falling from a height
And I turn to leave as if in a cameo
It doesn’t feel quite right
Only one thing you ever really know
If it’s day or night
Our eyes meet and I love her
I suspect she already knows
How those eyes see me so very very clearly
Even when they’re closed
The electric lash of trees in the studio
A bite then a caress
Only the voice of the girl on the radio
Drifting from the west
And I turn to leave as if in a cameo
A moon, a knot, a guess
Only one thing you ever really know
You might curse before you bless
I’m a missing link, poolroom stink, I can’t talk
(Well that’s too bad)
What’s goin’ on, somethings wrong, I can’t work
Can’t go to school, the teacher’s a fool, the preacher’s a jerk
(Well that’s such a drag)
Got nothin’ to do, street corner blues, and nowhere to walk
Violence, violence
It’s the only thing that’ll make you see sense
Violence, violence
It’s the only thing that’ll make you see sense
I’m an Amendment-to-Be,
Yes, an Amendment-to-Be,
And I’m hopin’ that they’ll ratify me.
There's a lot of flag burners
Who have got too much freedom,
I wanna make it legal
For policemen to beat 'em.
'Cos there's limits to our liberties,
Least I hope and pray that there are,
'Cos those liberal freaks go too far.
Kid:
Why can't we just make a law against flag burning?
Amendment:
Because that law would be unconstitutional. But if we change the Constitution—
Kid:
Then we could make all sorts of crazy laws.
Amendment:
Now you're catching on.
Kid:
What if people say you're not good enough to be in the Constitution?
Amendment:
Then I'll crush all opposition to me,
And I'll make Ted Kennedy pay.
If he fights back, I'll say that he's gay.
Congressman:
Great news, Amendment! They ratified ya! You're in the U.S. Constitution!
Amendment:
Oh yeah! Doors open, boys!
