Once More With FeelingSong Index Going Through the Motions (Buffy, Vampires, Goat Guy, Man) Every single night the same arrangement; I go out and fight the fight. Still I always feel the strange estrangement; nothing here is real, nothing here is right. I've been making shows of training 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 rightous now I find I'm wavering. Crawl out of your grave you find this fight just doesn't mean a thing. VAMPIRE: Sure ain't got that swing. BUFFY: Thanks for noticing. VAMPIRES & GOAT GUY: She does pretty well with fiends from hell, but lately we can tell, that she's just going through the motions, GOAT GUY: Going through the motions Faking it somehow. GOAT GUY: She's not even half the girl she...ow! BUFFY: Will I stay this way forever, sleepwalk through my life's endeavor? MAN: How can I repay... Whatever. I don't want to be Going through the motions, loosing all my drive. I can't even see if this is even me and I just want to be alive.

Hey, I'm not wearing underwear Rest In Peace (Spike) But you can make me feel Like it isn't so. Why you come to be with me I think I finally know. 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 want to play. 'Cause being with you touches me More than I can say. Since I'm only dead to you I'm saying 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 get my sweet release. So let me rest in peace. You know, you got a willing slave And you just love to play the thought That you might misbehave. Until you do, I'm telling you Stop visiting my grave And let me rest in peace. I know I should go but I follow you like a man possesed. There's a traitor here, beneath my breast And it hurts me more, than you'll ever guess. If my heart could beat, it would break my chest, But I can't 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?

I guarantee you 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 awhile? I'm the hottest fiend I'm the twisted child When you gotta sing, When you gotta let it out You call me and I come a-running I turn the music on; I bring the fun in Now, we're partying That's what it's all about 'Cuz I know, what you feel, girl I know just what you feel, girl All these melodies, they go on too long Than that energy starts to come on way too strong All those hearts wide open; that must sting Plus, some customer just died combusting That's the penalty 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 Cuz I know what you feel, girl DAWN: No, you see You and me Wouldn't be very regal SWEET: I'll make it real, girl DAWN: What I mean I'm fifteen So, this queen thing's illegal SWEET: I can bring whole cities to ruin And still have time to get a soft-shoe in DAWN: Well, that's great But I'm late And I'd hate to delay her SWEET: Something's cooking, I'm at the griddle I bought Nero his very first fiddle DAWN: She'll get pissed If I'm missed See, my sister's the Slayer... SWEET: Now we're partying That's what it's all about Standing in the Way (Giles) 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 And take you by the hand. Wish I could stay But now I understand, I am 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 deamons But now that time is past Wish I could stay. You're stalwart, standing fast. But I'm standing in the way I'm just standing in the way Wish I Could Stay (Tara & Giles) 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. GILES: Believe me I don't want to go. BOTH: And it'll grieve me 'cause I love you so But we both know.
BOTH: Wish I could stay, Wish I could stay, Wish I could stay, Wish I could stay. Drawn to the Fire (Buffy, Spike, Giles, Xander, Anya, Willow, Tara, Sweet) 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 tht fire And let it... SPIKE: The torch I bear is scorching me. Buffy's laughing, I've no doubt. I hope she fries; I'm free if that bitch dies. I better help her out. SWEET: 'Cause she is drawn to the fire. Some people will never learn. SPIKE: She will never learn. BOTH: And she will walk through the fire and let it... GILES: Will this do a thing to change her? Am I leaving Dawn in danger? Is my Slayer too far gone to care? XANDER: What if Buffy can't defeat it? ANYA: Beady eyes is right, we're needed Or we could just sit around and glare SCOOBY GANG: We'll see it though It's what we're always here to do So we will walk through the fire BUFFY: So one by one they turn from me. I guess my friends can't face the cold. TARA: What can't we face But why I froze, not one among them knows TARA: if we're together. and never can be told
BUFFY: These endless days are finally ending in a blaze. SWEET: She will come to me. ALL: And we are caught in the fire; 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! Life's A Show (Buffy & Spike) 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 a-long. 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, On if they know enough to know That when you bow 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... SPIKE: 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 Only can heal By living. You have to go on living. So that one of us is living. Sweet's Song (Reprise) (Sweet) You guys have been real swell. And there's not a one Who can say this ended well.
