I want to run I want to hide I want to tear down the walls That hold me in silence I want to reach out and touch the flame Where the streets have no name I want to feel, sunlight on my face See that dust cloud disappear without a trace I want to take shelter from the poison rain Where the streets have no name ---

We can’t fall any further If we can’t feel ordinary love And we cannot reach any higher, If we can’t deal with ordinary love Birds fly high in the summer sky and rest on the breeze. The same wind will take care of you and I. We’ll build our house in the trees. ---

Look at me, I’m as helpless as a kitten up a tree; And I feel like I’m clinging to a cloud, I can’t understand I get misty, just holding your hand. Walk my way, And a thousand violins begin to play, Or it might be the sound of your hello, That music I hear, I get misty, whenever you’re near. Can’t you see that you’re leading me on? And it’s just what I want you to do, Don’t you notice how hopelessly I’m lost That’s why I’m following you. ---

Before the leaves have fallen Before we lock the doors There must be the third and last dance This one will last forever Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles She’s taken you to your home It can only take place When the struggle between our children has ended Now the Miracle and the Sleeper know that the third is love Love is the Dance of Eternity ---

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd His skin was pale and his eye was odd He shaved the faces of gentlemen Who never thereafter were heard of again He trod a path that few have trod Did Sweeney Todd The demon barber of Fleet Street He kept a shop in London Town Of fancy clients and good renown And what if none of their souls were saved? They went to their maker impeccably shaved By Sweeney By Sweeney Todd The demon barber of Fleet Street Swing your razor wide, Sweeney! Hold it to the skies! Freely flows the blood of those who moralize!
