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 show 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 find this fight just doesn't mean a thing
    She ain't got that swing
Thanks for noticing
    She is 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 - oww!
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavor?
  How can I repay-
Whatever.
I don't wanna 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 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
And Wicca good
And love the earth
And woman power
And I'll be over here

I've got a theory
It could be bunnies

I've got a th-

      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 past

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?
Apocolypse
We've all been there
The same old tricks
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's in this place that we can't weather?
There's nothing we can't face

Except for bunnies

They got... The mustard... OUT!!!! (They got the mustard out!!!)

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 make me complete

The moon to the tide
I can feel you inside

I'm under your spell
Surging like the sea
Pulled 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
You make me complete

This is the man that I plan to entangle
Isn't he fine?
My claim to fame was to mame 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
    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

  'Cause 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 kind of hairy

  But it's all very well
  'Cause God knows I'll never tell

When things get rough he
Just hides behind his Buffy
Now look, he's getting huffy
'Cause he knows that I know
    She clings, she's needy, she's also really greedy
    She never-
-His eyes are really 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 betrayel
And on will 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 wrinkley 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 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

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
I'm just a poor girl going bare
And I'm not wearing underwear

I died so many years ago
You can make me feel like it isn't so
And why you can't be with me
I think I finally know (Mmm-mmm)
You're scared, ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
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
And since I'm only dead to you
I'm sayin' 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 got a willin' slave
And you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
But 'til you do I'm tellin' 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
Let me rest in peace
Why won't you let me rest in peace?

Does anybody even notice?
Does anybody even care?

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 a while?

I'm the how to swing
I'm the twist and shout
When ya 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 partying
That's what it's all about

'Cause I know what you feel girl
I know just what you feel girl

    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 die combusting
That's the penelty
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
    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 legal?
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
Something'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

The Slayer?
    Yuh-huh.
Find her. Tell her... Tell her everything.
Just get her here. I want to see the Slayer burn.

Now we're partyin'
That's what it's all about

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
To take you by the hand
Wish I could stay
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 your stalwart, standing fast
But I'm standing in the way
I'm just standing in the way

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                      Wish I could trust just that
  The right words                        It was just this once
  To lead you through this land    But I must do what I must
  Wish I could play the father       I can't adjust to this disgust
  And take you by the hand         We're done and I just

Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay

My master has the Slayer's 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?

Her...

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-

    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              What can't we face
But why I froze, not one among them knows    If we're together?
And never can be told

    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         So one by one they come to me
Walking through the part            The distant resonance as their guide
These endless days are finally    But what they'll find
Ending in a blaze                       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!

Showtime...

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 something's come out wrong
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along

Where's there's life
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

Don't give me songs

Don't give me songs
Give me something to sing about  (Ahhhhh...)
I need something to sing about   (Ahhhhh...)

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's ends
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

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

    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

The hardest thing in this world is to live it

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've got to run
See you all in hell!

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?

    Bugger this.

When do the trumpets cheer?
The curtain's closed on a kiss, God knows
We 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         I died
    This isn't real                           So many years ago
    But I just want to feel               You can make me feel

Where do we go from here?
