Defying Gravity - Wicked

GLINDA
Elphaba - why couldn't you have stayed calm for
once, instead of flying off the handle!
I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever!

ELPHABA
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy, too
I hope you're proud how you
Would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition

BOTH
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now

GLINDA
Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:
You can still be with the Wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted:

ELPHABA
I know:
But I don't want it -
No - I can't want it
Anymore:

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!

GLINDA
Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur:

ELPHABA
I'm through accepting limits
''cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down:
Glinda - come with me. Think of what we could
do: together.

Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team


There's ever been
Glinda -
Dreams, the way we planned 'em

GLINDA
If we work in tandem:

BOTH
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity

ELPHABA
They'll never bring us down!
Well? Are you coming?

GLINDA
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this

ELPHABA
You too
I hope it brings you bliss

BOTH
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend:

ELPHABA So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

GLINDA
I hope you're happy!

CITIZENS OF OZ
Look at her, she's wicked!
Get her!

ELPHABA
:Bring me down!

CITIZENS OF OZ
No one mourns the wicked
So we've got to bring her

ELPHABA
Ahhh!

CITIZENS OF OZ
Down!

hole in my head
hole in my head
I need a boy like you like a hole in my head
I need a boy like you like a hole in my head

Let just say we will and then don't instead

wild goose chase
wild goose chase

ya gonna take me boy on a wild goose chase

ya gonna take me boy on a wild goose chase
better find somebody to take my place



you took my imagination and stomped it in the ground
now I can only think about you chasing the tracks you left around

Dumb

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone,
But I have a light
The day is done,
I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy

Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy

My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover

Have a hangover
Have a hangover
Have a hangover

Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone,
But I have a light
the day is done,
I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or Maybe just happy

Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy

I think I'm Dumb
I think I'm Dumb
I think I'm Dumb
I think I'm Dumb
I think I'm Dumb
I think I'm Dumb
I think I'm Dumb
I think I'm Dumb
I think I'm Dumb
I think I'm Dumb
I think I'm Dumb
I think I'm Dumb

this is what would happen if i typed the lyrics to a song

LOL

Beautiful Disaster

Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two
The one with old wood creaking that would burn away right on cue
I try to be not like that but some people really suck
Some people need to get the axing chalk it up to bad luck

I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She's always running from something so many things ignored
I might do that stuff if it didn't make me feel like s h i t
I'm on some old reality tip so many trips in it

Beautiful disaster
Flyin' down the street again
I tried to keep up
You wore me out and left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
You're a butterfly in the wind without a care
A pretty train crash to me and I can't care
I do , I don't , whatever

I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She's always running from something so many things ignored
I try to be not like this but I thought it'd make a good song
There's nothing to see shows over people just move along

Beautiful disaster
Flyin' down the street again
I tried to keep up
You wore me out and left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
You're a butterfly in the wind without a care
A pretty train crash to me and I can't care
I do , I don't , whatever

Consequences dictate, my course of action and it, doesn't matter what's right, it's only wrong if you get caught. If consequences dictate, my course of action I should, I should play god and just, shoot you myseeeeeeeeelf!!!!-TOOL

I've been to hell and I spell it, I spell DMV. Anyone who's been there, knows precisely what I mean, I stood there and waited near an hour and fifteen, and if I had my druthers, I screw a chimpanze. Call it, pointleeessss.... When I need relief, I spell it THC, perhaps you may know, vaguely what I mean. I sit back and smoke away huge chunks of memory, as I slowly inflict upon myself, a full lobotomy. Call it, pointleeessss...-PRIMUS

If you want it(Ooo)
You can have it(Ooo)
But you gotta learn
To reach out there and grab it(Ooo)

'Cause everybody wants some love(Oh baby)
Shootin' from the stars above(Oh baby)
And though my heart will break
There's more than I can take
I can never get enough

If you need it(Ooo)
You should show it(Ooo)
'Cause you might play
So monastic that you blow it(Ooo)

'Cause everybody wants some hope(Oh baby)
Somethin' they can barely know(Oh baby)
And though my heart will break
There's more that I can take
I can never let it go

It's in the photograph
It's in the photograph
It's in the photograph of love

Ooo ooo ooo

'Cause everybody wants a dream(Oh baby)
Somethin' they can barely see(Oh baby)
And though my heart will break
There's more that I can take
I can never let it be

We got the means to make amends
I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side
I am right by your side...

Strawberry

Never been here, never coming back
Never want to think about the things
That happened today
Want to lay down on the warm ground
I think I'm going to need a little time to myself

Don't fall down now
You will never get up
Don't fall down now

Don't fall down now
You will never get up
Don't fall down now

I ask you for a slow ride
Going nowhere
You look like Satan
You ask me if I want to get high
Couple of bags down in old town
You tie your arm and
Ask me if I wanted to drive

Don't fall down now
You will never get up
Don't fall down now

Don't fall down now
You will never get up
Don't fall down now
Now , Now

Last thing I recall
I was in the air
I woke up on the street
Crawling with my strawberry burns
Ten long years in a straight line
They fall like water
Yes, I guess I f u c k e d up again

Don't fall down now
You will never get up
Don't fall down now

Don't fall down now
You will never get up
Don't fall down now

Don't fall down now
You will never get up
Don't fall down now

Don't fall down now
You will never get up
Don't fall down now

Now , Now , Now

Ride On

It's another lonely evenin'
In another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down

Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm just another empty head

That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna ride on
Ride on
Ride on, standing on the edge of the road
Ride on, thumb in the air
Ride on, one of these days I'm gonna
Ride on, change my evil ways
Till then I'll just keep ridin' on

Broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
Try to get back to the start

And it's another red light nightmare
Another red light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure am hard to beat

But I'm lonely
Lord I'm lonely
What am I gonna do

Ride on
Ride on, got myself a one-way ticket
Ride on
Ride on, going the wrong way
Ride on, gonna change my evil ways
Ride on, one of these days
One of these days

Ride on
Ride on
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on, looking for a truck
Ride on, hmmmm
Ride on, keep on riding
Riding on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
Ride on, gonna have myself a good time
Ride on, ohh yeah
Ride on, yeah yeah
Ride on, one of these days
Ride on, one of these days

The Grouch

I was a young boy that had big plans
Now I'm just another shitty old man
I don't have fun and I hate everything
This world owes me so f u c k you

Glory days don't mean shìt to me
I drank a six pack of apathy
Life's a bìtch and so am I
The world owes me so f u c k you

Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view

I've decomposed yet my gut's getting fat
Oh my God, I'm turning out like my Dad
I'm always rude, I've got a bad attitude
The world owes me so f u c k you

The wife's a nag and the kid's f u c k i n g up
I don't have sex 'cause I can't get it up
I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch
The world owes me so f u c k you

Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view

I was a young boy that had big plans
Now I'm just another shitty old man
I don't have fun and I hate everything
This world owes me so f u c k you

Glory days don't mean shìt to me
I drank a six pack of apathy
Life's a bìtch and so am I
The world owes me so f u c k you
The world owes me so f u c k you
The world owes me so f u c k you

Jim Brickman: Destiny


What if I never knew
What if I never found you
I'd never have this feeling in my heart
How did this come to be
I don't know how you found me
But from the moment I saw you
Deep inside my heart I knew

Baby you're my destiny
You and I were meant to be
With all my heart and soul
I give my love to have and hold
And as far as I can see
You were always meant to be
My destiny

I wanted someone like you
Someone that I could hold on to
And give my love until the end of time
But forever was just a word
Something I'd only heard about
But now you're always there for me
When you say forever I believe

Baby you're my destiny
You and I were meant to be
With all my heart and soul
I give my love to have and hold
And as far as I can see
You were always meant to be
My destiny

Maybe all we need
Is just a little faith
'Cause baby I believe
That love will find the way
Hey yeah

Baby you're my destiny
You and I were meant to be
With all my heart and soul
I give my love to have and hold
And as I far as I can see
From now until eternity
You were always meant to be
My destiny
You're my destiny
You're my

Shoot 'Em Down

Come on, boys!

Ow!

She looks so fine like champagne or wine,
No one ever gets her
Oh, ain't she cool, plays us for fools
If we wanna let her
Across the room she sees some buffoon
Blown away by her style
She goes out of her way so that she can play
And make him beg for a little while

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down to the ground

Like caviar or a fine foreign car,
He's a motivator
Dressed to the T's, they're down on their knees,
He's a master baiter
He'll make 'em crawl for the hell of it all,
He likes to see 'em cry
And then just for fun he'll say she's the one
And then he'll make her die
He's gonna

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down to the ground

They don't care about feelings,
They were meant to be stepped on
And while one is healing,
They go and step on another one

Now, these people prey on us every day,
Some are bad, some badder
They think we're fools, so they make their own rules,
It only gets us madder
Well, they think they're hot, well, I say they're not,
They shoot us down for fun
If they wanna play, well, let's make 'em pay,
Shoot them down with a f u c k i n g gun!

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down to the ground

Come on now!

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down to the ground

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
We shoot them down, come on, honey
Shoot them down, come on, shoot 'em down

I Enjoy Being A Boy

I live in a cucumber castle
On the banks of a cranberry sea
And starfish dance under my drawbridge
And blackbirds make nests in my tree

I enjoy being a boy, in love with you
I enjoy being a boy in love with you
In love with you girl, oh yeah

I live in a purple plum mansion
In the mist of a strawberry stream
And mellifluous bells ring out softly
From a hill of vanilla fudge cream

I enjoy being a boy, in love with you
I enjoy being a boy in love with you
In love with you girl, oh yeah

Baby I enjoy being a boy, in love with you
I enjoy being a boy in love with you
In love with you girl, oh yeah

Baby I enjoy being a boy, in love with you
I enjoy being a boy in love with you
In love with you girl, oh yeah

Right Between The Eyes

Don't care what they have to say
No point in listenin' to them anyway
Why'd you have to give them what they want?
They love to watch you as you fall apart

Stick it to them like a phoenix rise
There's nothing grander than the big surprise
They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones
About time take them right between the eyes

Seek to destroy cause they're scared of you
That's why they try to make a fool of you
They're so jealous of my pretty star
Cause you've got soul inside your shattered heart

Stick it to them like a phoenix rise
There's nothing grander than the big surprise
They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones
About time take them right between the eyes

And you've been waiting all your life
To fly high into somebody else
And it's true it's a cruel, cruel world
Life's a Bìtch and then you die my love

Don't care what they have to say
You shouldn't listen to them anyway
Stick it to them like a phoenix rise
There's nothing grander than the big surprise
They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones
About time take them right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes

People like to build you up
Then they'll stab you in the back like that
You know it breaks my heart
Can't see you going out like that

Stay alive my love
Stay alive my love
Stay alive my love
Stay alive my love

Stranger Than Paradise

My love, our love is stranger than paradise
I've had enough, I can't put up with this sacrifice
Cause I'm a street hero, a street star, oh, and I'm a rebel at heart
It's not you, it ain't me, it's our love baby, can't you see

Why did you take me to the top
Oh no, oh no, our love is stranger than paradise
Oh no, oh no, stranger than paradise

My love, I don't wanna keep you hanging on
I'm gonna tell you right now - right now
I'm gonna tell you what it's all about
All my love for you, it made me do things I would never do

I can't go on, I gotta let go
Oh no, oh no, our love is stranger then paradise
Oh no, oh no, stranger than paradise
Oh, oh no

I can't go on, I gotta let it go
Oh no, oh no, our love is stranger than paradise
Oh, oh no, oh no, our love is stranger than paradise
My love, it ain't you, it's not me, it's
My love, it's not you, it ain't me, it's stranger than paradise

Oh, oh no, oh no

I dig my toes into the sand
the ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
strewn across a blue plain
I lean against the wind
pretend that I am weightless
and in this moment I am happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

I lay my head onto the sand
the sky resembles a backlit canopy
with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs
a signal flame weild through my ladder
and in this moment I am happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

the world's a roller coaster
and I am not strapped in
maybe I should always care


etc
I'm tired and can't remember the rest - g'nite lovely, loving minglers

every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
and I'm still standing here and your miles away
and I'm wondering why you left
and there's a storm that raging through my
frozen heart tonight

I hear your name in certain circles
and it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinking about you
and it's almost driving me wild
and it's my heart that's breaking
down this long distance line tonight

but I aint missing you at all
since youve been gone away
I aint missin you
no matter what my friends say
there's a message in my eyes
and I'm sending you this signal tonight

you don't know how desperate I've become
and it looks like I'm losing thsi fight
in your workld I have no meaning
tho I'm trying hard to understand
and it's my heart that's breakin down
this long distance line tonight

but I aint missing you at all
since youve been gone away
I aint missin you
no matter what I might say

there's a message that I'm sendin out like a telegraph to your soul
and if I cant bridge this distance
stop this heartbreak overload
cos I aint missin you at all
since youve been gone away
I aint missin you
no matter what I might say

and there's a storm thats raging through my frozen heart tonight
and I aint missin you at all
since youv'e been gone away
I been lieing to myself these days
I aint missin you
I keep lying to myself
every time I think of you
I'm OK
I'm doin fine here
from day to day
i aint missin you
I'm lying to myself
