Every single night
The same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight
Still I always feel
This 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 find this fight just
Doesn't mean a thing
Vampire: She ain't got that swing
Buffy: Thanks for noticing

Two vamps and a goatlike demon:
She does pretty well
With fiends from hell
But lately we can tell
That she's just

Two Vamps: Going through the motions
Goatlike Demon: Going through the motions
One Vamp: Faking it somehow
Goatlike Demon: She's not even half the girl she...Owwwww!

Buffy: Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavour?
Saved Guy: How can I repay...
Buffy: 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



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

Willow: I've got a theory
Some kid is dreamin'
And we're all stuck inside
His wacky Broadway nightmare

Xander: I've got a theory
We should work this out
Giles, Anya, Xander, Tara and Willow: It's getting eerie
What's this cheery singing all about?

Xander: 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

Anya: I've got a theory
It could be bunnies!

Tara: I've got a theory

Anya: Bunnies aren't just cute
Like everybody supposes
They've 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?

Willow: I've got a theory
We should work this fast
Willow and Giles: Because it clearly could get serious
Before it's passed

Buffy: 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?

Buffy, Giles, Anya, Xander, Tara and Willow: 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
Buffy: Hey, I've died twice

Buffy, Anya, Xander, Tara and Willow: What can't we face if we're together?
Giles: What can't we face?
Buffy, Anya, Xander, Tara and Willow: What's in this place that we can't weather?
Giles: If we're together
Buffy, Anya, Xander, Tara and Willow: There's nothing we can't face
Anya: Except for bunnies...



Mustard Man: They got the mustard out!
Chorus: They got the mustard out!



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 make me believe...

Chorus: Ah ah, ah ah ah...
Ah ah, ah ah ah...

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

Chorus: Ah ah, ah ah ah...

You make me complete
You make me complete
You make me...



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

Xander: 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
Xander and Anya: 'Cause there's nothing to tell

Anya: He snores
Xander: She wheezes
Anya: Say 'housework' and he freezes
Xander: She eats these skeezy cheeses
That I can't describe
Anya: I talk
He breezes
Xander: She doesn't know what 'please' is
Anya: His penis got diseases
From a Chumash tribe

Xander and Anya: The vibe gets kind of scary
Xander: Like she thinks I'm ordinary
Anya: Like it's all just temporary
Xander: Like her toes are kind of hairy
Xander and Anya: But it's all very well
'Cause god knows, I'll never tell

Anya: When things get rough, he
Just hides behind his Buffy
Now look - he's gettin' huffy
'Cause he knows that I know

Xander: She clings
She's needy
She's also really greedy
She never...

Anya: His eyes are beady
Xander: This is my verse! Hello?
She —

Anya: Look at me! I'm dancin' crazy!

Xander and Anya: You know
Xander: You're quite the charmer
Anya: My knight in armor
Xander: You're the cutest of the Scoobies
With your lips as red as rubies
And your firm yet supple —
Tight embrace!

Anya: He's swell
Xander: She's sweller
Anya: He'll always be my feller
Xander: That's why I'll never tell her
That I'm petrified

Anya: I've read this tale
There's wedding, then betrayal
I know that come the day
I'll want to run and hide

Anya and Xander: I lied
I said it's easy
I've tried
But there's these fears I can't quell

Xander: Is she looking
For a pot of gold?
Anya: Will I look good
When I've gotten old?

Xander: Will our lives become too stressful
If I'm never that successful?
Anya: When I get so worn and wrinkly
That I look like David Brinkley?

Xander: Am I crazy?
Anya: Am I dreamin'?
Xander: Am I marrying a demon?
Xander and Anya: 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

Xander: My lips are sealed
Anya: I take the fifth
Xander: Nothin' to see
Move it along
Xander and Anya: I'll never...
Tell!



Woman: I've been having
A bad, bad day
C'mon, 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, don't you care?
Hey, I'm not wearing underwear...



I died
So many years ago
And you can make me feel
Like it isn't so
But 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
That 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
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 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've got a willing slave
And you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
But 'til 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 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?



Does anybody even notice?
Does anybody even care?



Sweet: 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 whaddya say?
Why don't we dance a while?

I'm the heart of 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 partying
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? Bringin' the fun in?

Sweet: All these melodies
They go on too long, oh
Then that energy
Starts to come on
Way too strong

All those hearts laid open
That must sting
Plus, some customers
Just start combusting
That's the penalty
When life is but a song

You brought me down
And doomed 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: No, that's great
But I'm late
And I'd hate to delay her

Sweet: Something's cookin'
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: Eee... yuh-huh.
Sweet: Find her. Tell her... Tell her everything. Just get her here. I want to see the Slayer burn.
Now we're partying
That's what it's all about



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
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 their 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



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

Giles: Believe me, I don't wanna go
Giles and Tara: And it'll grieve me
'Cause I love you so
But we both know

Giles: 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

Tara: Wish I could trust
That it was just this once
But I must do what I must
I can't adjust to this disgust
We're done and I just

Giles and Tara: Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay
Wish I could...
Stay



Buffy: 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 -

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...

Spike: She will...
Spike and Sweet: ...never learn
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
Giles, Anya, Xander, Willow and Tara: We'll see it through
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...
Buffy: But why I froze
Not one among them knows
Tara: ...if we're together?
Buffy: And never can be told

Anya: She came from the grave much graver
Sweet: So one by one
They come to me
Spike: First, he'll kill her, then I'll save her
Tara: Everything is turning out so dark
Sweet: The distant redness as their guide
Buffy: Going through the motions

Spike: No, I'll save her, then I'll kill her
Sweet: But what they find
Ain't what they had in mind
Buffy: Walking through the part
Willow: I think this line's mostly filler
Giles: What's it gonna take to strike a spark?
Sweet: It's what they have inside

Buffy: These endless days
Sweet: She will come...
Buffy: Are finally ending in a blaze
Sweet: ...to me

Buffy, Giles, Xander, Anya, Tara, Willow and Spike: 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
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 there's life
There's hope
Every day'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

Giles: She needs back-up. Anya, Tara...

Buffy: Don't give me songs
Give me something to sing about

Anya and Tara: Ah ah ah ah ah...

Buffy: I need something to sing about

Anya and Tara: Ah ah ah ah ah...

Buffy: Life's a song
You don't get to rehearse
And ev'ry 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've bowed
You leave the crowd

There was no pain
No fear, no doubt
'Til 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
You only can heal
By living
You have to go on living
So one of us is living

Dawn: The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.



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 gotta run
See you all...
In hell



Dawn: Where do we go
From here?
Spike and Buffy: Where do we go
From here?
Giles: The battle's done
And we kinda won
Giles and Tara: So we sound our victory cheer
Where do we go
From here?

Anya and Xander: Why is the path
Unclear?
When we know home
Is near
Giles, Anya, Xander, Buffy, Dawn, Spike, Willow and Tara: Understand
We'll go hand in hand
But we'll walk alone in fear
Giles: Tell me

Giles, Anya, Xander, Buffy, Dawn, Spike, Willow and Tara: Where do we go
From here?
When does 'The End' appear?

Spike: Bugger this.

Giles, Anya, Xander, Buffy, Dawn, Spike, Willow and Tara: When do the trumpets cheer?
The curtains close
On a kiss god knows
We can tell the end is near
Where do we go...



Buffy: I touch the fire
And it freezes me
Spike: I died

Buffy: I look into it and it's black
Spike: So many years ago

Buffy: This isn't real

Spike: But you can make me feel
Buffy: But I just wanna feel

Ensemble: Where do we go
From here?
