Dancing Through Life lyricsby Wicked
FIYERO
The trouble with schools is They always try to teach the wrong lesson Believe me, I've been kicked out Of enough of them to know They want you to become less callow Less shallow But I say: Why invite stress in? Stop studying strife And lear to live 'the Unexamined Life' Dancing through life Skimming the surface Gliding where turf is smooth Life's more painless For the brainless Why think too hard? When its so soothing Dancing through life No need to tough it When you can sluff it off as I do Nothing matters But knowning nothing matters It's just life So keep dancing through... Dancing through life Swaring and sweeping And always keeping cool Life is fraught less When your thoughtless Those who don't try Never look foolish Dancing through life Mindless and careless Make sure you're where less Trouble is rife Woes are fleeting Blows are glancing When you're dancing Through life... (spoken) So -- whats the most swankified place in town? GALINDA (spoken) That would be the Ozdust Ballroom. FIYERO (spoken) Sounds perfect! Let's go down to the Ozdust ballroom We'll meet there later tonight We can dance till it's light Find the prettiest girl... Give 'er a whirl Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom Come on -- follow me You'll be happy to be there... ALL Dancing through life Down at the Ozdust FIYERO If only because dust is what we come to... ALL Nothing matters But knowing nothing matters Its just life... FIYERO So keep dancing through... BOQ (spoken) Miss Galinda-- I hope you'll save at least one dance for me. I'll be right there. Waiting. All night. GALINDA (spoken) Oh-- that's so kind. But you know what would be even kinder? See that tragic'ly beautiful girl The one in the chair It seems so unfair We should go on a spree And not she Gee-- I know someone would be my hero If that someone were To go invite her... BOQ (spoken) Well, maybe -- /I/ could invite her! GALINDA Oh, Bick, really? You would do that for me!? BOQ (spoken) I would do anything for you, Miss Galinda. GALINDA (spoken) So... FIYERO (spoken) So I'll be picking you up around eight? GALINDA (spoken) After all-- Now that we've met one another... FIYERO and GALINDA Its clear -- we deserve eachother GALINDA You're perfect... FIYERO You're perfect... BOTH So we're perfect together Born to be forever... Dancing through life... NESSAROSE (spoken) Oh, Elphaba -- isn't it wonderful? Fin'lly for this one night I'm about to have a fun night With this munchkin boy Galinda found for me And I only wish there were Something I could do for her To repay her Elphaba, see? We deserve eachother And Galinda helped it come true We deserve eachother Me and Boq... (spoken) Elphaba, please, try to understand... ELPHABA I do... (spoken) Galinda -- my sister and I were talking about you just now -- GALINDA (spoken) and I was just talking about you! I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight! It's really, uh, sharp, dont you think? You know -- black is this year's pink You deserve eachother This had and you You're both so smart You deserve eachother So here, you of the goodness of my heart... BOQ Listen -- Nessa -- NESSAROSE (spoken) Yes? BOQ Uh -- Nessa I've got something to confess, a Reson why, well -- Why I asked you here tonight... Now I know it isn't fair... NESSAROSE (spoken) Oh, Boq. I know why. BOQ (spoken) You do? NESSAROSE It's because I'm in this chair And you felt sorry for me Well -- isn't that right? BOQ (spoken) No! No! It's because... because... Because you are so beautiful! NESSAROSE Oh, Boq, I think you're wonderful! And we deserve eachother Don't you see, this is our chance? We deserve eachother Don't we, Boq? BOQ (spoken) You know what? Lets dance... NESSAROSE (spoken) What? BOQ Lets dance! ALL Dancing through life Down at the Ozdust If only because dust Is what we come to And the strange thing: Your life could end up changing While you're dancing Through! |
