Your path's unbeaten, and it's all uphill.
I wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land,
The cries around you, you don't hear at all.
I wish I could lay your arms down, and let you rest at last.

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 though the part,
Nothing seems to penetrate my heart.
Now I find I'm wavering.
Crawl out of your grave, you find this fight
Just doesn't mean a thing
She ain't got that swing.
(pause)
Thanks for noticing.
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...owww!
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavor.
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
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 dreamin'
And we're all stuck inside his wacky Broadway nightmare.
I've got a theory we should work this out.
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 wicked good and loved the earth and women power
and I'll be over here.
I've got a theory, it could be bunnies...
I've got a theory
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.
I've got a theory we should work this fast.
Because it clearly could get serious before it's passed.
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?
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!
What can't we face if we're together?
- What can't we face?
What's in this place that we can't weather?
- If we're together.
There's nothing we can't face.
Except for bunnies.
They Got The Mustard Out
They got the mustard out!
They got the mustard out!
Under Your Spell
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.
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.
and I always took for granted, I was the only one there.
But your power shone, brighter than any I've known.
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.
I'm under your spell.
Surging like the sea, drawn to you so helplessly.
I break with every swell,
Lost in ecstacy, spread beneath my Willow tree.
You make me complete.
You make me complete.
You make me complete.
I'll Never Tell
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.
Cuz 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 pleases.
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 kinda hairy.
But it's all very well.
Cuz God knows I'll never tell!
When things get rough, he just hides behind his Buffy.
Now look, he's gettin' huffy.
Cuz 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 dancing crazy!
You know
You're quite the charmer
My knight in armor
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 making a 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!
Nothin' to see! Move it along!
I'll never tell!
The Parking Ticket
I've been having a bad bad day
Come on, 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.
Rest In Peace
I died, so many years ago.
But you can make me feel like it isn't so.
And why you come to be with me,
I think I finally know. Mmmmmm.
You're scared, ashamed of what you feel.
And you can't tell the ones you love,
you know they couldn't deal.
A whisper in a dead man's ear,
that doesn't make it real.
Cuz bein' with you touches me,
more than I can say.
And since I'm only dead to you,
I'm sayin' stay away.
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!
So let me rest in peace!
And you just love to play the thought that you might misbehave.
But 'til you do, I'm tellin' you
Stop visitin' my grave!
And let me rest in peace!
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!
Dawn’s Lament
Does anybody even notice?
Does anybody even care?
Sweet's Song
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 whadda ya say? Why don't we dance a while?
When you gotta sing, when ya 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.
I know just what you feel, girl.
(spoken)
So, you're like a good demon? Bringin' the fun in?
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!
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.
No you see, you and me wouldn't be very regal!
I'll make it real, girl!
What I mean, I'm fifteen, so this queen thing's illegal!
I can bring whole cities to ruin,
And still have time to get a soft-shoe in.
Well that's great, but I'm late and I'd hate to delay her.
Somethin's cookin', I'm at the griddle,
I bought Nero his very first fiddle!
She'll get pissed if I'm missed, see my sister's the Slayer!
(spoken)
The Slayer?
(spoken)
Yah-huh!
(spoken)
Find her! Tell her...tell her everything! Just get her here! ...I wanna see the Slayer burn!
Now we're partyin'!
That's what it's all about!
Standing in the Way
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...
And you can meet it, but you never will.
And I'm the reason that you're standing still.
But I...
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.
Cuz you know I'm here to take the call.
So you just lie there when you should be standing tall.
But I...
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.
Wish I Could Stay
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
Believe me, I don't wanna go
And it'll grieve me, cuz I love you so
But we both know
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 trust just 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
Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay
Henchman Song
(spoken)
Come on then, sing.
My master has the slayers sister hostage at the bronze, because she summoned him,
and at midnight he's going to take her to the underworld to be his queen.
What does he want?
Walk Through The Fire
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
To make my way across the flame
To save the day or maybe melt away
I guess it's all the same
Cause where else can I turn?
I will walk through the fire
And let it - -
The torch I bear is scorching me
And 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 never learn
She will never learn
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
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
But why I froze, not one among them knows
And never can be told
What can't we face
If we're together?
She came from the grave much graver
First, he'll kill her, then I'll save her
Everything is turning out so dark
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?
Going through the motions
Walking through the part
These endless days are finally ending in a blaze
So one by one, they come to me
The distant redness as their guide
That single flame
Ain't what they had in mind
It's what they have inside She will come to me
And we are caught in the fire
At 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!
(spoken)
Showtime...
Something to Sing About
Life's a show
And we all play our parts
And when the music starts
We open up our hearts
If some things come out wrong
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along
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
(spoken)
She needs backup. Anya, Tara...
Don't give me songs
Give me something to sing about
Ahhhhh...
I need something to sing about
You don't get to rehearse
And every single verse
Can make it that much worse
The million things or more
I should be dancing for
Family and friends
All the twists and bends
Knowing that it ends
Well, that depends
On if they let you go
Or if they know enough to know
That when you've bowed
You leave the crowd
No fear, no doubt
Till they pulled me out
Of Heaven
So that's my refrain
I live in Hell
'Cuz I've been expelled
From Heaven
I think I was
In Heaven
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
You only can heal
By living
You have to go one living
So one of us is living
(spoken)
The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.
Sweet’s Song (Reprise)
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?
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 hope 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?
(spoken)
Bugger this.
When do the trumpets cheer?
The curtain's closed on a kiss
God knows, you can tell the end is near
Where do we go from here?
I touch the fire and it freezes me
I look into it and it's black
The isn't real
But I just want to feel
I died too many years ago
You can make me feel
Where do we go from here?
