Buffy: The Musical Song Lyrics
Here it is my fellow Scoobies. The song lyrics to Buffy: The Musical. So sit back, lock your doors to keep out the Vamps, and learn your favorite tune!
Alive
(Singers: Buffy, Vamps, and a Demon)
Buffy:
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'll find this fight just
Doesn't mean a thing.
Vamp:
She ain't got that swing.
Buffy:
Thanks for noticing.
Vamps and a Demon:
She does pretty well with fiends from hell
But lately we can tell
That she's just going through the motions
Demon:
Going through the motions.
Vamp:
Faking it somehow.
Demon:
She's not even half the girl she- ow.
Buffy:
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavor?
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 want to be
Alive
I've Got A Theory
(Singers: All minus Dawn)
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.
Willow, Tara, Anya, Xander:
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 woman power and I'll be over here.Anya:
I've got a theory! It could be bunnies!
(Silence)
Tara: I've got a…
Anya: (rock style)
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!
(Silence)
Anya: (back to normal)
Or maybe midgets.
Willow:
I've got a theory we should work this fast.
Giles, Willow:
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?
All (minus Giles):
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.
All:
What can't we face if we're together?
Giles:
What can't we face...
All:
What's in this place that we can't weather?
Giles:
...if we're together...
All:
There's nothing we can't face.
Anya:
Except for bunnies.
I'm Under Your Spell
(Singers: Tara)
Tara:
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 charms so well
Finally, I knew
Everything I dreamed was true
You made me believe.
The moon to the tide
I can feel you inside
I'm under your spell
Surging like the sea
Wanting you so helplessly
I break with every swell
Lost in ecstasy
Spread beneath my willow tree
You make me complete!
You make me complete
You make me complete
You make me...
I'll Never Tell
(Singers: Anya and Xander)
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.
Both:
'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 pleases.
Anya:
His penis got diseases from a Chumash tribe!
Both:
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
Both:
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 getting huffy
'Cause he knows that I know.
Xander:
She clings
She's needy
She's also really greedy
She nev-
Anya:
His eyes are beady!
Xander:
This is my verse, hello! She…
(Dancing Sequence)
Both:
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 there'll come the day I'll want to run and hide.
Both:
I lied
I said it's easy
I've tried
But there's these fears I've 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?
Both:
We could really raise the beam in making 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:
Nothing to see. Move it along.
Both:
I'll never Tell!
Let Me Rest in Peace
(Singers: Spike)
Spike: 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
Mmmm…
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,
It doesn't make it real.
That's great.
But I don't wanna play.
'Cause being with you touches me
More than I can say.
But 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 till 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...
So let me rest in peace.
Why won't you let me rest in peace?
That's What It's All About
(Singers: Demon, Dawn)
Demon:
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 what do you say?
Why don't we dance awhile?
I'm the hot swing
I'm the twist and shout
When you gotta sing,
When you gotta ... let it out.
You call me and I come a-running
I turn the music on
I bring the fun in
Now we're partyin'
That's what it's all about.
'Cause I know ... what you feel, girl.
I know just what you feel, girl.
Dawn: (spoken)
So you're like a good demon? Bringing the fun in?
Demon: (shakes his head no)
All these melodies ...
They go on too long
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 into 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
Demon:
I'll make it real, girl
Dawn:
What I mean
I'm fifteen
So this queen thing's illegal
Demon:
I can bring whole cities to ruin
And still have time to get a soft-shoe in
Dawn:
Well, that's great
But I'm late
And I'd hate to delay her
Demon:
Something's cooking, 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
Standing In The Way
(Singers: Giles)
Giles:
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 here
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 that 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 here
Your stalwart, standing fast
But I've been standing in the way.
I'm just standing ... in the way.
Wish I Could Stay
(Singers: Giles, Tara)
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, Tara:
And it'll grieve me 'cause I love you so
But we both know
(As they sing their lines over lap.)
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, Tara:
Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay...
Walk Through The Fire
(Singers: All minus Dawn)
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.
Demon:
'Cause she is drawn to the fire.
Some people…
Spike:
She will…
Spike/Demon:
…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, Tara, Willow, Xander, Anya:
We'll see it through
It's what we're always here to do
So we will walk through the fire
(Buffy and Tara sing at the same time.)
Buffy:
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.
Tara:
What can't we face...
If we're together?
(All these lines overlap.)Anya:
She came from the grave much graver
Spike:
First he'll kill her, then I'll save her
Tara:
Everything is turning out so dark
Spike:
No, I'll save her, then I'll kill her
Willow:
I think this line's mostly filler
Giles:
What's it gonna take to strike a spark?
Buffy:
So one by one they turn to me
The distant redness as their guide
Demon:
That single flame
Ain't what they had in mind.
It's what they have inside.
Buffy:
Going through the motions
Walking through the part
These endless days are finally ending in a blaze
Demon:
She will come to me.
All (minus the Demon):
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
(Singers: Buffy, Spike, Anya, Tara)
Buffy:
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.
Don't give me songs.
Give me something to sing about.
Anya, Tara:
Ahhhhh...
Buffy:
I need something to sing about.
Anya, Tara:
Ahhhhh...
Buffy:
Life's a song
You don't get to rehearse.
And every 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
Till 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 one living
So one of us is living.
See You In Hell
(Singers: Demon)
Demon:
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?
(Singers: All)
Dawn:
Where do we go ... from here?
Buffy, Spike:
Where do we go ... from here?
Giles:
The battle's done
And we kind of won
Giles, Tara:
So we sound our victory cheer
Where do we go from here?
Anya, Xander:
Why is the path unclear?
When we know home is near?
All:
Understand we'll go hand in hand
But we'll walk alone in fear.
Giles:
Tell me!
All:
Where do we go from here?
When does the end appear?
Spike: (spoken)
Bugger this.
All (minus Spike):
When do the trumpets cheer?
The curtains close on a kiss, god knows
We can tell the end is near.
Where do we go from here?
