Ragtime movie - Coalhouse's Soliloquy lyrics

<br>

COALHOUSE<br>

Say goodbye to music.<br>

Say goodbye to light.<br>

Anything I care for,<br>

Take it from my sight.<br>

Let me see no future<br>

Let me hear no sound<br>

Only darkness and pain<br>

The anger and pain<br>

The blood and the pain<br>

They buried my heart in the ground....<br>

In the ground...<br>

When they buried you in the ground. <br>

I see your face...<br>

And we will ride<br>

On the wheels of a new dream, Sarah,<br>

A new time, Sarah,<br>

Now, I'll play them the music<br>

Of something beginning<br>

An era exploding<br>

A century spinning--<br>

My law and my justice<br>

In rhythm and rhyme!<br>

Listen to that Ragtime! <br>

<br>

(Three gun shots are fired--Headline projected: "Three Firemen Dead".)<br>
