Overture/Going Through the Motions

Every single night the same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight
Still, I always feel the strangest estrangement
Nothing here is real,
Nothing here is right

I’ve been making shows of trading blows
Just hoping no one knows
That I’ve been

Going through the motions
Walking through the part
Nothing seems to penetrate my heart

I was always brave and kind of righteous
Now I find I'm wavering
Crawl out of your grave
You'll find this fight
Just doesn't mean a thing

She ain't got that swing
Thanks for noticing
She does pretty well with fiends from hell
But lately, we can tell
That she's just

Going through the motions
Faking it somehow
She's not even half the girl she- oww

Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavour
How can I repay...?
Whatever
I don't want to be

Going through the motions
Losing all my drive
I can't even see
If this is really me
And I just wanna be
Alive


I've Got a Theory/Bunnies/If We're Together

I've got a theory
That it's a demon
A dancing demon
No, something isn't right there

I’ve got a theory
Some kid is dreaming
And we're all stuck inside
His wacky Broadway nightmare

I’ve got a theory
We should work this out
It's getting eerie
What's this cheery
Singing all about?

It could be witches
Some evil witches,
Which is ridiculous
'Cause witches,
They were persecuted
Wicca good
And love the earth
And women power,
And I’ll be over here

I’ve got a theory
It could be bunnies

I’ve got a...

Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes
They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses
And what's with all the carrots?
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?
Bunnies, bunnies
It must be bunnies

Or maybe midgets?
I’ve got a theory,
We should work this fast
Because it clearly
Could get serious
Before it's passed

I’ve got a theory
It doesn't matter

What can't we face if we're together?
What's in this place that we can't weather?
Apocalypse
We've all been there
The same old trips
Why should we care?

What can't we do if we get in it?
We'll work it through within a minute
We have to try
We'll pay the price
It's do or die

Hey, I’ve died twice

What can't we face
What can't we face?
If we're together?
What's in this place
That we can't weather?
If we're together
There's nothing we can't face
Except for bunnies


The Mustard

They got
The mustard
Out

They got
the mustard

Under Your Spell

I lived my life in shadow
Never the sun on my face
It didn't seem so sad though
I figured that was my place
Now I'm bathed in light
Something just isn't right

I'm under your spell
How else could it be
Anyone would notice me?
It's magic I can tell
How you set me free
Brought me out so easily

I saw a world enchanted
Spirits and charms in the air
I always took for granted
I was the only one there
But your power shone
Brighter than any I've known
I'm under your spell
Nothing I can do
You just took my soul with you
You worked your charms so well
Finally I knew
Everything I dreamed was true
You make me complete

The moon to the tide
I can feel you inside

I'm under your spell
Surging like the sea
Pulled to you so helplessly
I break with every swell
Lost in ecstacy
Spread beneath my willow tree
You make me complete

You make me complete (x3)


I'll Never Tell

This is the man that I plan to entangle
Isn't he fine?
My claim to fame was to mame and to mangle
Vengeance was mine
But I'm out of the biz
The name I made I'll trade for his
The only trouble is...
I'll never tell

She is the one
Such wonderful fun
Such passion and grace
Warm in the night when I'm right in her tight
Embrace, tight embrace
I'll never let her go
The love we've known can only grow
There's just one thing that - no
I'll never tell

'Cause there's nothing to tell

He snores
She wheezes
Say 'housework' and he freezes
She eats these skeezy cheeses that I can't describe
I talk, he breezes
She doesn't know what pleases
His penis got diseases from a Chumash tribe

The vibe gets kind of scary

Like she thinks I'm ordinary
Like it's all just temporary
Like her toes are kind of hairy

But it's all very well
'Cause God knows I'll never tell

When things get rough he
Just hides behind his Buffy
Now look, he's getting huffy
'Cause he knows that I know
She clings, she's needy
she's also really greedy
She never...
His eyes are really beady
This is my verse, hello!
She...

Look at me! I'm dancing crazy!

You know
You're quite the charmer
My knight in armor
You're the cutest of the Scoobies
With your lips as red as rubies
And your firm yet supple - tight embrace!

He's swell
She's sweller
He'll always be my feller
That's why I'll never tell her
That I'm petrified
I've read this tale
There's wedding then betrayel
And on will come the day I'll want to run and hide

I lied, I said it's easy
I've tried but there's these fears I can't quell

Is she looking for a pot of gold?
Will I look good when I've gotten old?
Will our lives become too stressful if I'm never that successful
When I get so worn and wrinkley that I look like David Brinkley
Am I crazy?
Am I dreamin'?
Am I marrying a demon?
We could really raise the beam in making marriage a hell
So thank God I'll never tell
I swear that I'll never tell
My lips are sealed
I take the fifth
Nothin' to see, move it along
I'll never - tell


The Parking Ticket

I've been having a bad bad day
Come on, won't you put that pad away?
I'm asking you please no
It isn't right, it isn't fair
There was no parking anywhere
I think that hydrant wasn't there
Why can't you let it go?
I think I've paid more than my share
I'm just a poor girl going bare
And I'm not wearing underwear


Rest In Peace

I died
so many years ago
You can make me feel like it isn't so
And why you can't be with me
I think I finally know (Mmm-mmm)
You're scared, ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
Whisper in a dead man's ear
It doesn't make it real

That's great, but I don't wanna play
'Cause being with you touches me
More than I can say
And since I'm only dead to you
I'm sayin' stay away
And let me rest in peace

Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace
You know you got a willin' slave
And you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
But 'til you do I'm tellin' you
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace

I know I should go
But I follow you like a man possessed
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat it would break my chest
But I can see you're unimpressed
So leave me be and

Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
Let me rest in peace
Why won't you let me rest in peace?


Dawn's Lament

Does anybody even notice?
Does anybody even care?


What You Feel

Why'd you run away?
Don't you like my style?
Why don't you come and play?
I guarantee a great big smile

I come from the imagination
And I'm here strictly by your invocation
So what do you say?
Why don't we dance a while?

I'm the how to swing
I'm the twist and shout
When ya gotta sing
When ya gotta let it out

You call me and I come a runnin'
I turn the music on
I bring the fun in
Now we're partying
That's what it's all about

'Cause I know what you feel girl
I know just what you feel girl

So, you're like a good demon?
Bringin' the fun in?

All these melodies
They go on too long
Then that energy starts to come on
Way too strong
All those hearts lay open
That must sting
Plus some customers just die combusting
That's the penelty
When life is but a song

You brought me down into this town
So when we blow this scene
Back we will go to my kingdom below
And you will be my queen
'Cause I know what you feel girl

No you see
You and me
Wouldn't be very regal
I'll make it real girl
What I mean
I'm fifteen
So this queen thing's illegal

I can bring whole cities to ruin
And still have time to get a soft shoe-in
Well that's great, but I'm late
And I'd hate to delay her
Something's cookin', I'm at the griddle
I bought Nero his very first fiddle
She'll get pissed, if I'm missed
See my sister's the Slayer

Now we're partyin'
That's what it's all about


Standing

You're not ready for the world outside
You keep pretending, but you just can't hide
I know I said that I'd be standing by your side
But I...

Your path's unbeaten and it's all uphill
And you can meet it, but you never will
And I'm the reason that you're standing still
But I...

I wish I could say the right words
To lead you through this land
Wish I could play the father
To take you by the hand
Wish I could stay
But now I understand
I'm standing in the way

The cries around you, you don't hear at all
'Cause you know I'm here to take that call
So you just lie there when you should be standing tall
But I...

I wish I could lay your arms down
And let you rest at last
Wish I could slay your demons
But now that time has passed
Wish I could stay
Your stalwart, standing fast
But I'm standing in the way
I'm just standing in the way


Under Your Spell / Standing (Reprise)

I'm under your spell
God, how can this be?
Playing with my memory
You know I've been through hell
Willow, don't you see?
There'll be nothing left of me
You made me believe

Believe me, I don't wanna go

And it'll grieve me, cause I love you so
But we both know

Wish I could say
Wish I could trust
The right words to lead you
That it was just this once
Through this land
But I must do what I must
Wish I could play the father
I can't adjust to this discust
And take you by the hand
We're done and I just
Wish I could stay

Wish I could stay (x4)
 


Walk Through the Fire

I touch the fire and it freezes me
I look into it and it's black
Why can't I feel?
My skin should crack and peel
I want the fire back

Now, through the smoke she calls to me
To make my way across the flame
To save the day or maybe melt away
I guess it's all the same

So, I will walk through the fire
'Cause where else can I turn?
I will walk through the fire
And let it...

The torch I bear is scorching me
And Buffy's laughing I've no doubt
I hope she fries
I'm free if that bitch dies!
I better help her out...

'Cause she is drawn to the fire

Some people never learn

And she will walk through the fire
And let it...

Will this do a thing to change her?
Am I leaving Dawn in danger?
Is my Slayer too far gone to care?

What if Buffy can't defeat it?
Beady Eyes is right
We're needed!
Or we could just sit around and glare

We'll see it through
It's what we're always here to do
So, we will walk through the fire...

So one by one, they turn from me
I guess my friends can't face the cold
But why I froze, not one among them knows 
And never can be told

She came from the grave much graver
First, he'll kill her, then I'll save her
Everything is turning out so dark
No, I'll save her, then I'll kill her
I think this line is mostly filler
What's it going to take to strike a spark?

Going through the motions
Walking through the part
These endless days are finally
Ending in a blaze 

And we are caught in the fire
At the point of no return
So we will walk through the fire
And let it
Burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn!


Something to Sing About

Life's a show
And we all play our parts
And when the music starts
We open up our hearts

It's all right
If some things come out wrong
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along

Where's there's life
There's hope, everyday's a gift
Wishes can come true
Whistle while you work

So hard all day
To be like other girls
To fit in in this glittering world

Don't give me songs
Don't give me songs

Give me something to sing about
I need something to sing about

Life's a song
You don't get to rehearse
And every single verse
Can make it that much worse

Still, my friends don't know why I ignore
The million things or more
I should be dancing for

All the joy life sends
Family and friends
All the twists and bends
Knowing that it ends
Well, that depends
On if they let you go
Or if they know enough to know
That when you've bowed
You leave the crowd

There was no pain
No fear, no doubt
Till they pulled me out
Of Heaven
So that's my refrain
I live in Hell
'Cause I've been expelled
From Heaven
I think I was
In Heaven

So, give me something to sing about
Please! Give me something

Life's not a song
Life isn't bliss
Life is just this
It's living
You'll get along
The pain that you feel
You only can heal
By living
You have to go on living
So one of us is living


What You Feel (Reprise)

What a lot of fun
You guys have been real swell
And there's not a one who can say this ended well
All those secrets you've been concealing
Say you're happy now
Once more, with feeling
Now I've got to run
See you all in Hell



Where Do We Go From Here?

Where do we go from here? (x2)

The battle's done and we kind of won
So we sound our victory cheer
Where do we go from here?

Why is the path unclear
When we know home is near?

Understand we'll go hand in hand
But we'll walk alone in fear

Tell me!

Where do we go from here?
When does the end appear?

When do the trumpets cheer?
The curtain's closed on a kiss, God knows
We can tell the end is near
Where do we go from here? (x3)



Coda

I touch the fire, and it freezes me
I died
I look into it
So many years ago
And it's black

This isn't real
You can make me feel
But I just wanna feel

Where do we go from here?
