Sung By: Buffy
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 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
Demon: She ain't got that swing
Thanks for noticing
Demon: 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...
ow
Buffy: Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavour
Victim: 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
Sung By: Giles, Xander, Anya, Tara, Willow
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
All: 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
[crickets chirp]
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
maybe midgets?
I’ve got a theory,
We should work this fast
G&W: Because it clearly
Could get serious
Before it's passed
I’ve got a theory
What Can't We Face
Sung By: Buffy, Giles, Xander, Anya, Tara, Willow
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?
All: 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
All: What can't we face
What can't we face?
If we're together?
What's in this place
That we can't weather?
We're together
There's nothing we can't face
Except for bunnies
Under Your Spell
Sung By: Tara
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 charm so well
Finally, I knew
Everything I dreamed was true
You made me believe
The moon to the tide
I can feel you inside
I’m under your spell
Surging like the sea
Wanting you so helplessly
I break with every swell
Lost in ecstasy
Spread beneath my willow tree
You make me com-plete
You make me com-plete
You make me com-plete
You make me—
I’ll Never Tell
Sung By: Xander and Anya
This is the man that I plan to entangle
Isn't he fine?
My claim to fame was to maim 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 she's 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
Both: '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 please is
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 beady
This is my verse,
Hello? She--
Look at me!
I'm dancin' crazy!
You know
You're quite the charmer
My knight in armour
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 betrayal
I know there'll 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 wrinkly
That I look like David Brinkley
Am I crazy?
Am I dreamin'?
Am I marrying
A demon?
We could
Really raise the beam
In makin' 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
Nothing to see,
Move it along
I’ll never
Tell
Rest In Peace (Spike)
I died
So many years ago
You can make me feel
Like it isn't so
And why you come to 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 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 6-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 willing slave
You just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
Till you do,
I'm telling you
Stop visiting my grave
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
Im a hole 6-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?
Does Anybody Even Notice?
Sung By Dawn
Does anybody even notice?
Does anybody even care?
Sweet’s Lament
Sung By: Sweet and Dawn
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 you gotta sing,
When you 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 partyin’, that’s what it’s all about.
’Cause I know what you feel, girl.
I know just what you feel, girl.
DAWN
So you’re like a good demon? Bringing the fun in?
SWEET
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 start 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.
’Cause 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
The Slayer?
DAWN
Uh-huh.
SWEET
Find her. Tell her… tell her anything. Just get her here. I
want to see the Slayer burn.
SWEET
Now we’re partyin’.
That’s what it’s all about.
Standing In The Way
Sung By: Giles
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
And take you by the hand
Wish I could stay here
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 here
Your stalwart, standing fast
But I'm
Standing in the way
I’m just standing
In the way
Under Your Spell [Reprise]
Sung By: Tara
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
Wish I Could Stay
Sung By: Tara and Giles
Believe me,
I don't wanna go
And it'll grieve me
'Cause I love you so
We both know
Wish I could
Say the right words
[Wish I could trust ]
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
Wish I could stay here
Wish I could stay here
Wish I could stay
Walk Through The Fire
Sung By: Buffy, Spike, Sweet, Giles, Xander, Anya, Tara, Willow
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
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...
She will never learn
Both: 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
All: 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
What can't we face?
But why I froze,
Not one among them knows
And never can be told
She came from the grave much graver
One by one, they come to me
First, he’ll kill her, then I’ll save her
Everything is turning out so dark
Going through the motions
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?
It's what they have inside
She will come
These endless days
Are finally ending in a blaze
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
And let it burn!
Life's a Show
Sung By: Buffy and Spike
Life’s a show and we all play a part
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,
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.
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 Lament [Reprise]
Sung By: Sweet
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 gotta run
See you all in hell
Where Do We Go From Here?
Sung By: All
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
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?
Spike: Heh. Bugger this.
When do the trumpets cheer?
The curtains close
On a kiss god knows
We can tell the end is near
Walk Through The Fire [Reprise]
Sung By: Buffy and Spike
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...
But I just wanna feel
Feel
All: where do we
Go from here?
