"In" Lyrics from Carrie the Musical (1988 Stratford Production)

Five! Six! Five! Six! Seven! Eight!

Alright ladies,
I want to see sweat!
I keep on looking but I aint seen it yet!
the more you suffer, the tougher you'll get
so come on ladies, burn burn burn burn!

Every day, I just pray
every move I make is right
where I go who I know
how I wear my hair come Saturday night

and I worry
what if all my ends should split
I worry
what can I possibly do
to fit in, smack, right on track
what comes close to that?
Until you fit in, you aint where it's at

'cause when you're out it's just the pits
you can never win
there's no doubt that life just doesn't begin
until you're in!

I'm not screaming to hear my own voice!
Don't try to fight me 'cause you aint got a choice.
You either burn off or you turn of the boys
so come on ladies! burn burn burn burn

Bought the clothes
did my noise
God, I follow every rule.
I'm on trial,
all the while,
there's too much at stake to think about school

I go crazy!
Nobody cares what it does to me.
It's crazy, crazy,
I would go out of my mind.

To be in (in)
smack (smack)
right on track,
what comes close to that?

Until you've been in,
you aint where it's at
(you gotta know where it's at)

'cause when you're out (out)
it's (it's) just the pits,
you can never win.

There's no doubt (doubt)
that (that)
life just doesn't begin (doesn't begin)
until you're in!

I want you to put it all in ladies!
don't leave anything out!
Keep it tight! Keep it tight! Keep it tight!
Keep those muscles hot!
Shame on you, shame on you!
Overweight's a sin.

Make it sore, make it sore
keep those bodies thin
Keep those bodies,
keep those bodies,
keep those bodies thin.
Keep those bodies,
keep those bodies,
keep those bodies thin.

Some day
(some day, some day!)
If I don't stand out one bit!
(I'm trying to show you the way)
Oh some day
(some day, some day!)
I may be normal enough
(This is it!)

To fit in (in),
smack (smack)
right on track,
what comes close to that?

Until you fit (fit) in (in)
you aint where it's at
(you gotta know where it's at)
'Cause when you're out (out),
it's (it's) just the pits,
you can never win.

There's no doubt (doubt)
that (that) life just doesn't begin...
No life just doesn't begin.
No life just doesn't begin.
No life...
Until you're in!

(Dear Lord)

Mama, I'm lost.
What went wrong?
Can't you come hold me?
Make me strong.
Isn't there somewhere I can belong.
Dear Lord,
nothing I do is ever done right.
That's all that I hear.
Oh, dear Lord,
I'd like to fade into the sunlight
and just disappear.

Carrie White eats shit! 

"And Eve Was Weak" Lyrics from Carrie the Musical (2012 Off-Broadway Revival)

Bow your head and pray woman
and God made Eve from the rib of Adam
and Eve was weak and loosed the raven on the world
and the raven was called sin
(mama it wasn't my fault)
and God visited Eve with a curse
and the curse was the curse of blood
Say it woman!

And God made Eve from Adam's rib and Eve was weak
and Eve was weak
(Mama, how could I know? Why didn't you tell me?)
And God made Eve to bear the curse,
the curse of blood
(It's not a curse! Ms Gardner said it's something all girls go through!)
the curse of blood
the curse of blood

You should have told me!

You're a woman now!
Pray to Heaven for your wicked soul!

the raven came to plague the world
its name was sin
(it's not a sin)
its name was sin
(Oh Mama, it's not a sin)
its name was sin begin!

and lust was how the sin began
the sin was man
(I don't understand)
well understand!
(no!)
the sin was man!
(what have I done?)

God has seen your sinning
just beginning
pray for your salvation
from damnation

Pray or he will burn you!
he will burn you!

The seed conveys the power and it's come again
(Mama what is this seed?)
It's come again.
(don't you care that I started to bleed?)
It's come again.

Until the seed is crushed the power never ends
it never ends
it never ends

Mama I was so scared
and they all stared
then I started crying
I thought I was dying!

Mama! Please
(have you no sense of shame?)
don't hurt me!
(pray for mercy get down on your knees!)
Please don't
(Satan's staking his claim!)
hurt me!
('cause your soul is a hole of disease)

I can see you inside!
(don't believe with your eyes)
full of sin, full of pride!
(those are lies, Mama, lies!)
That's how Lucifer fell
(Mama, how could I know?)
and you're headed for hell.
I won't let you go!
(Mama, let me go!)

Heaven hates a sinner!
(I'm not a sinner!)
hates a sinner!
Save your soul from burning!
(Mama, stop that's burning!)
God, she's burning!
(Stop, it's burning!)

Pray or
(Mama!)
he
(no!)
will
(no, please!)
burn you!
(STOP!)
He will burn you!

And God made Eve from Adam's rib
and Eve was weak
and Eve was weak
and I was weak

I prayed this day would never come
I should have known
I should have known
Now I'm alone.
And so afraid.

Oh Lord, I've seen this power before
the flesh is weak and I implore
Father don't forsake her!
Father take her!
Cleanse and purify her!
With the fire!
and the power!
and the glory!
forever
and ever
and ever!
Amen!

"Open Your Heart" Lyrics from Carrie the Musical (2012 Off-Broadway Revival)

Welcome fellow travellers in the darkness
welcome and fear no more
this is the Reverend Matthew Bliss coming to you across
the blessed airways of WORD Radio
(Open Your Heart)

Bringing you the true meaning of the lord across the land
(Let Jesus In)

Open your heart
let Jesus in

Lord you have found me
a wanderin' in the darkness
Light my way with your true faith
and I'll sing with joy of my new faith

Jesus possessed me
sweet saviour be my shepherd.
Bless each endeavour,
'til I finally join you forever

Ah Carrie, there's my sweet girl.

Lord, I will see choirs,
of Saints and Angels singing
finally free from temptation
and the flames of hell's devastation

Then he will take me
and wash me in the river
I will make celebration
in the joy of final...
the light of final...
the fire of final salvation
(open your heart, let Jesus in)

I love you Mama

I love you Carrie

"Carrie" Lyrics from Carrie the Musical (2012 Off-Broadway Revival)

You know what Norma calls her?
Scary White. Do you love it?

Scary White (repeated)

That's not my name!

Doesn't anybody ever get it right?
Carrie!
Why don't they remember
I am Carrie White?
Carrie!
Is it any harder to say than
Goddamn total spastic and weirdo and dumb bitch?

Doesn't anybody think that I can hear?
I hear!
'specially when I've got 'em screaming in my ear!
I hear!

Everyday they mock me and push me around
'til I drop.
If I had a wish God,
I wish they'd stop!
When will they?
I wish they'd?
when will they
when will they
when will they

Sometimes their hatred is out of control
God, how they hurt me!
Mama says suffering is good for the soul
but 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 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
all of these feelings suddenly
if I am changing
will I still be Carrie
or what if I am somebody new?

Imagine the things I might do
I might take a chance,
I've always wondered how
Maybe I'll dance
and try hard to laugh more than I do now
and the world will open it's eyes
and for once the whole world will recognise
Carrie!

Then all those people who scream night and day
"Poor prayin' Carrie."
They'd see the new me and they might even say
"Look, it's Carrie!"

And finally,
I'd hear their calls,
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 a song of endless wonder
that no one will claim

But someday
Oh my, someday
Someone will know my name!

"In" Lyrics from Carrie the Musical (2012 Off-Broadway Revival)

Stop. Go. Who am I? Move.
Ha! Come on, come in.
(Father, Mother, Preacher, Teacher)
Failure! Am I? Am I? Am I?
No. Am I? Am I stupid? Am I hopeless? Am I?

Violence! Silence!
Broken. Used. Black . Bruised.
What about me? What about me?
I dream! I drown! I wait!

Every day, I just pray.
Every move I make is right.
Where I go, who I know.
Will I be alone on Saturday night?

And I worry,
what if I stand out one bit?
I worry,
what can I possibly do to fit in?
Perfect clothes. Nose.
The perfect skin, face, all ace!

Both my folks, total jokes
All they do is chew my ass!
Blah blah blah blah (continues)
They should just be glad I make it to class.

I don't worry,
if I blow my SATs.
I worry,
what can I possibly do?
To squeeze in, pow!
Why not now?
When will I belong?

Look where I am, damn!
my whole life feels wrong!
What if I do snap?
Holy Crap!
I'd crawl out of my skin
and so will you!
'cuz life just doesn't begin
until you're in!

Don't you all have somewhere to be?

There's somewhere I'd like to be Miss G

What are you Mr Nolan, 12?
Tommy Ross, watch those hands
and definitely no tongue!

Yes ma'am.

Hey you two, get a room.

And you, Chris Hargensen,
lose the gum before class.

Where should I put it Miss Gardner?

Anywhere you like,
just get it out of your mouth.
Carrie White get a move on,
Gym class in two minutes!

Hah. Hah.

God, it's rough. Stayin' tough.
Wonderin' what the world will say.
"Make a plan!"
"Be a man!"
All this frickin' bullshit gets in the way!

I go crazy!
Nobody cares what it does to me.
It's crazy!
I would go out of my mind.
To fit in, shit.
In is it.
What comes close to that?
Until you've been, in,
you aint where it's at

'Cuz when you're out,
well, life is hell.
You can never win.
There's no doubt that
life just doesn't begin
until you're... aww!

Way to go Carrie!

Yeah, way to blow it!

Loser!

Hit the showers girls,
go change up!

Our father who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name
thy kingdom come
thy will be done
on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Amen.

And some day
if I don't stand out one bit
oh some day
I may be normal enough
to fit in

Geez! Shoot me please!
Put me out of my pain!
Am I a mess? Yes!
Totally insane!

If I am not missed,
I don't exist,
that's the greatest sin!

I'd rather be shot!
'Cuz, life just doesn't begin...
Doesn't begin... Doesn't begin...
Doesn't begin... Doesn't begin...
Until you're in!

"A Freak Like Me Needs Company" Lyrics from Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark

if you're looking for a night out on the town
you just found me
(freak like me needs company)
I'm a sixty-five million dollar circus tragedy
(freak like me needs company)
I'm not rolling, baby rolling in the green
but I'm unique (freak)
a freak

I'm the new Coney Island
and all the rides are open and free
on me
(freak like me needs company)

All the weirdos in the world
 are here right now in New York City
All the brazen boys and girls
are dressed to kill without pity
all the weirdos from out of town
and all the freaks, always around
all the weirdos in the world
are here in New York City tonight
here in New York City tonight

I got a crew of party animal mutants by my side
(freak like me needs company)
demon hairdo, evil dressers who just won't be denied
(freak like me needs company)
the crossroads of the world just need a little tweak
from a freak
I said goodbye to my straight life
'cause I love a freak!
(freak like me needs company)

all the weirdos in the world
are here right now in New York City
all the brazen boys and girls
peacocks, posers show no pity
all the weirdos from out of town
and all the freaks, always around
all the weirdos in the world
are here in New York City tonight
here in New York City tonight

Oh yeah,
that's the boys
and the ladies sing

"The Music of King Kong Live On Stage" Lyrics

(The Greatest Show on Earth)
Ladies and gentlemen

the greatest show on Earth is about to begin

We have a forty-foot beast of unforetold power
ladies and gentlemen
I present to you the eighth wonder of the world,

to the fear I have falling

(What's it Gonna Take)
what's it gonna take to lift the darkness?

 I have so much to give
I've only just begun to live

(Special FX)

"Rise Above 2" Lyrics from Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark

When the ones who run the firehouse
are the ones who start the fire.
When the lawless make the laws
and every preacher is a liar.
And the ones that damn the innocent,
well they own the nightly news,
and front page.

an old man said to me,
"It's not who, but what you know"
and "knowledge isn't wisdom without control"
"Better still to be the changes that you want to see"
"They come slow"
I know

and you said rise above
open your eyes up
and you said rise above
but I can't,
I can't

for every heart that bleeds
will colour your world red
and the sorrow in the night
will be the blue you cannot shed
but your strength will be a vision,
beyond visibility
and the gift you have within
will give you new eyes to see

That you can rise above
swing through the skies above
and you shall rise above yourself

Know that I'll be watching
Know that I'll be waiting

Standing on the precipice
I can soar away from this

And you can rise above
(feel your soul)
Open your eyes up
(rise above yourself and take control)
and you can rise above
(you need to love)
yourself
(to release yourself and rise above it all)

And you can Rise Above
(I will be there)
Open your eyes up
(You were never alone)
and you can rise above
(inside your dreams)
yourself
(I've been watching and waiting)

And you can rise above
open your eyes to love
and you can rise above
yourself

and every heart that bleeds
will colour your world red
and the sorrow in the night
will be the blue you cannot shed
and your strength will be a vision,
beyond visibility
and the gift you have within you
will give you new eyes to see

"Full Moon Lullaby" Lyrics from King Kong Live on Stage

Silence overtaking
Darkness overhead
Shadows now are waking
Monsters in the bed
Bid our hearts are aching
Heaven knows just why
But look the clouds are breaking
Full Moon Lullaby

Full Moon
Wash it all away
Full Moon
Full Moon
Wash it all away
Wash it all away

let the night surround you
gently close your eyes
now the moon has found you
watching from the skies
troubles fade around the you
the rifts they start to fly
now sweet sleep has crowned you
Full Moon Lullaby

Full Moon
Wash it all away
Full Moon, Full Moon
Wash it all away
Wash it all away

Will the blackness brighten?
Will the dawn come soon?
Will day also frighten?
What's the answer Moon?
When the heavens lighten
and steal you from the sky.
What will come tomorrow?

"Rise" Lyrics from King Kong Live on Stage

A field of grass,
one brick is laid.
What comes to pass?
A home is made.
More bricks laid down,
before our eyes.
Now there's a time,
we watch it rise.

A modest needing,
a tiny cast.
Give into greed,
and all is lost.
A city born,
it grows in size.
The prophets warn:
"Beware the skies"

Rise, Rise, Rise
Rise, Rise
Ah

When seasons turn,
and buildings soar.
When children learn
to ask for more.
What once was true,
is far true lies.
But what of you?
You watch it rise.

Rise, Rise, Rise
Rise, Rise
Woah!

All the king's horses
ride on to new land.
What do you know,
the Kingdom expands.
Then all the King's men
will knock this from the road.
There come the armies,
there come the armies,
there come the armies,
and the Empire falls!

Rise, Rise, Rise
Rise, Rise, Rise
We watch it rise, rise
Woah
Woah
And fall! And fall! And fall!
