CARRIE
That's not my name
Doesn't anybody ever get it right? Carrie!
Why don't they remember I am Carrie White? Carrie!
Is that any harder to say than god damn toad and crazy and weirdo and dumb bitch
and doesn't anybody think that I can hear? I hear!
'specially when I got them screaming in my ear! I hear!
When did ev'ry body decide I'm the one who's the flop?
If I had a wish God, I wish they'd stop!
I wish they'd stop.
How I wish they'd stop.
I will not cry
I'm okay
I try so hard to play their way
Why do they find it so hard to say?
Carrie.
Why do they always treat me so bad?
They all know my name. It's Carrie.
I don't know why they all get so mad.
It's always the same.
What's going on, deep in me?
There's someone new where I used to be.
One of these days they're gonna see Carrie.
Sometimes their hatred is out of control
God how they hurt me
Momma says suff'ring is good for the soul
But they hurt me
they hurt me
And if I could I'd bring them all down to their knees
I'd make them sorry forever for teasing Carrie
Carrie, Carrie
I wish I was blessed with someone
who's not like the rest.
I'd close my eyes and suddenly he'd be there
Handsome and wise and prob'ly a prince who could dance on air
And he'd ask me out ev'ry night
I'd say "All right"
After a while he'd ask me to wear his ring
Momma would smile and give us her blessing for ev'rything
And the world would see this is love
And then ev'ryone would be jealous of Carrie
Then all those people who scream night and day
"Poor praying Carrie"
They'd see me with him and they might even say...
"Look it's Carrie!" It's Carrie
And finally I'd hear that word sounding so sweet
thousands of voices forever repeating
Carrie, Carrie, Carrie
I am the sound of distant thunder
the colour of flame
I'm Carrie
I am the song of endless wonder that no one will claim
but some day
Oh my, some day, someone will know my name
