CARRIE
Why'd they laugh when they know I'm trying
Momma says "every body sins"
Saints and angels above me
I would die if they caught me crying
I would love if I had a twin
Someone tell me you love me
Something in pink with orchids to wear
Someone to care and maybe I'd finally belong

"Like Everyone Else" Lyrics from Side Show (2014 Broadway Production)

VIOLET

I want to be like everyone else

So no one will point and stare

To walk down the street

Not attracting attention

No notice, no mention

No hint of despair

A normal reaction

A standard response

The same as everyone wants

DAISY
I want to be like everyone else

But richer and more acclaimed

Worshipped and celebrated

Pampered and loved

To see those who've laughed

Feeling ashamed

A glorious, frantic

Adoring response

The same as everyone wants

I'd go abroad

See all the sights

Hear folks applaud

Bow to the lights

VIOLET

I'd settle down

Never to roam

Find a nice husband and home

I want to be

DAISY

I want to be

BOTH

Like everyone else

But not like my sister says

DAISY

She wants stability

VIOLET

She would like fame

I'd like serenity

DAISY

Frenzied acclaim

BOTH
Though we can't agree

On a single response

We want what everyone wants

Only what everyone wants

The same as everyone wants

"Come Look at the Freaks" Lyrics from Side Show (2014 Broadway Production)

COMPANY
Come look at the freaks
The pygmies and geeks
Come examine these aberrations
Their malformations
Grotesque physiques
Only pennies for peeks
Come look at the freaks

MEN                                    WOMEN
Come look at the freaks                 Ah, ah, ah (etc.)    
They'll haunt you for weeks                                          

ALL
Come explore why they fascinate you
Exasperate you
And flush your cheeks

WOMAN
Come hear how love speaks

ALL
Come look at the freaks

SIR
Ladies and Gentlemen
Step right up
Right this way
There is no wait
We don't waste your time
So little to pay
Just one thin dime
Gains you admission
To my odditorium
Never have you seen
A comparable emporium
Of wonders under one tent
Your dime could not be better spent

Come see a curious gal
The bearded lady
See a man with an extra appendage
Instead of two legs there's three
Come see our tattooed girl
She's a walking marquee

Come see our elegant geek
Refined but deadly
Chicken necks delight his incisors
Their heads decorate the mud
His favourite cocktail drink?
It's warm chicken blood!

From the barren desert
Of the heathen camel trade
The lizard man of Khartoum
An encounter with him will mean certain doom
And from the Far East
See this intriguing specimen
Is it woman? Is it man?
I guess you'll be satisfied either way
With half and half from Saipan!

Come have your fortune foretold!
Then see a boy who's a dog!
The living Venus de Milo lacking both arms!
And from the Siberian tundra --
The world's tiniest Cossacks!
He's punctured! He's pierced!
He's the human pin cushion!

ALL
Come see God's mistakes
The freaks God forsakes
Take a look at exotic creatures
Their mangled features
The mess God makes

SIR
And we don't harbour fakes

ALL
Come see God's mistakes

SIR
From the inky jungles
Of the darkest continent
Time to witness first hand
The ferocity of the cannibal king
We keep him chained up
Because we know he's hankering
For a taste of one of you
And you are here for enlightenment
Not stock for cannibal stew

Ladies and Gentlemen
With great pride
Misty-eyed
I now present
The stars of our show
No duo is more simpatico
Though their condition
Is called "abnormality"
They've developed charm
And gifts of musicality
Their bond immutably strong
Just listen to their haunting song

DAISY AND VIOLET
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

SIR
Scientists tell me that Siamese twins
come from the same life germ and
that their complete separation was
retarded in some way -- perhaps, while
pregnant, their mother witnessed dogs
stuck together copulating.

They are called "Siamese" after
Chang and Eng, the first widely
known specimens. Siamese twins
share everything -- yet remain
completely separate in their minds,
bodily functions and, presumably,
their souls. But enough about science.
Sing, girls, sing!

DAISY AND VIOLET
Ahh ahhh ahhhh
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ahhh ahh ahhh
Ah-ahhh-ahh-ah
ahh-ahhhhh

SIR                                               ALL
Come look at the Freaks                         Spread the word
The pygmies and geeks                          Tell the world  
                                                                               What you've seen and heard

SIR AND ALL
Come examine these aberrations
Their malformations
Grotesque physiques

SIR
Only pennies for peeks

SIR AND ALL
Come look at the freaks!

"I'm Daisy, I'm Violet" Lyrics from Side Show (2014 Broadway Production)

DAISY
I'm Daisy

VIOLET
I'm Violet

BOTH
We're Siamese twins

VIOLET
I'm to your right
as you watch our show

DAISY                                             VIOLET
She thinks she's always right                                                        
Not so                                                  Not So
I'm Daisy                                                          

VIOLET
I'm Violet

BOTH
What else would you like to know?

"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
