Wicked movie - Dancing Through Life lyrics
rate meSong by Michelle Federer<br /><br>
FIYERO<br>
The trouble with schools is<br>
They always try to teach the wrong lessons<br>
Believe me, I've been kicked out<br>
Of enough of them to know<br>
They want you to become less callow<br>
Less shallow<br>
But I say: why invite stress in?<br>
Stop studying strife<br>
And learn to live the unexamined life<br>
<br>
Dancing through life<br>
Skimming the surface<br>
Gliding where turf is smooth<br>
Life's more painless<br>
For the brainless<br>
Why think too hard<br>
When it's so soothing<br>
Dancing through life<br>
No need to tough it<br>
When you can slough it off as I do<br>
Nothing matters<br>
But knowing nothing matters<br>
It's just life<br>
So keep dancing through<br>
<br>
Dancing through life<br>
Swaying and sweeping<br>
And always keeping cool<br>
Life is fraught-less<br>
When you're thoughtless<br>
Those who don't try<br>
Never look foolish<br>
Dancing through life<br>
Mindless and careless<br>
Make sure you wear less<br>
Trouble and rife<br>
Woes are fleeting<br>
Blows are glancing<br>
When you're dancing<br>
Through life<br>
(spoken) So - what's the most swankified place in town?<br>
<br>
GALINDA<br>
(spoken) That would be the Ozdust Ballroom.<br>
<br>
FIYERO<br>
(spoken) Sounds perfect.<br>
Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom<br>
We'll meet there later tonight<br>
We can dance till it's light<br>
Find the prettiest girl<br>
Give 'er a whirl<br>
Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom<br>
Come on - follow me<br>
You'll be happy to be there<br>
<br>
ALL<br>
Dancing through life<br>
Down at the Ozdust<br>
<br>
FIYERO<br>
If only because dust<br>
Is what we come to<br>
<br>
ALL<br>
Nothing matters<br>
But knowing nothing matters<br>
It's just life<br>
<br>
FIYERO<br>
So keep dancing through<br>
<br>
BOQ<br>
(spoken) Miss Galinda - I hope you'll save at least one<br>
dance for me. I'll be right there. Waiting. All night.<br>
<br>
GALINDA(spoken) Oh - that's so kind. But you know what would<br>
be even kinder?<br>
(sung) See that tragically beautiful girl<br>
The one in the chair<br>
It seems so unfair<br>
We should go on a spree<br>
And not she<br>
Gee <br>
I know someone would be my hero<br>
If that someone were to go invite her<br>
<br>
BOQ<br>
(spoken) Well, maybe - I could invite her!<br>
<br>
GALINDA<br>
Oh, Bick, really?<br>
You would do that for me?<br>
<br>
BOQ<br>
(spoken) I would do anything for you, Miss Galinda<br>
<br>
GALINDA<br>
(spoken) So...<br>
<br>
FIYERO<br>
(spoken) So I'll be picking you up around eight?<br>
<br>
GALINDA(spoken) After all -<br>
(sung) Now that we've met one another<br>
<br>
FIYERO AND GALINDA<br>
It's clear we deserve each other<br>
<br>
GALINDA<br>
You're perfect<br>
<br>
FIYERO<br>
You're perfect<br>
<br>
BOTH<br>
So we're perfect together<br>
Born to be forever<br>
Dancing through life<br>
<br>
NESSAROSE<br>
(spoken) Oh, Elphaba - isn't it wonderful?<br>
(sung) Finally, for this one night<br>
I'm about to have a fun night<br>
With this Munchkin boy<br>
Galinda found for me<br>
And I only wish there were<br>
Something I could do for her<br>
To repay her<br>
Elphaba, see?<br>
We deserve each other<br>
And Galinda helped it come true<br>
We deserve each other,<br>
Me and Boq<br>
(spoken) Please, Elphaba try to understand.<br>
<br>
ELPHABA<br>
I do:<br>
(spoken) Listen, Glinda - Nessa and I were talking about you<br>
just now.<br>
<br>
GALINDA<br>
(spoken) And I was just talking about you! I thought you<br>
might want to wear this hat to the party tonight!<br>
(sung) It's really, uh, sharp, don't you think?<br>
You know black is this year's pink<br>
You deserve each other<br>
This hat and you<br>
You're both so smart<br>
You deserve each other<br>
So here, out of the goodness of my heart.<br>
<br>
BOQ<br>
(spoken) Listen, Nessa.<br>
<br>
NESSAROSE<br>
(spoken) Yes?<br>
<br>
BOQ<br>
Uh - Nessa<br>
I've got something to confess, a<br>
Reason why, well -<br>
Why I asked you here tonight<br>
Now I know it isn't fair<br>
<br>
NESSAROSE<br>
(spoken) Oh, Boq, I know why.<br>
<br>
BOQ<br>
(spoken) You do?<br>
<br>
NESSAROSE<br>
It's because I'm in this chair<br>
And you felt sorry for me<br>
Well - isn't that right?<br>
<br>
BOQ<br>
(spoken) No! No! It's because, because,<br>
(sung) Because you are so beautiful!<br>
<br>
NESSAROSE<br>
Oh, Boq, I think you're wonderful!<br>
And we deserve each other<br>
Don't you see, this is our chance?<br>
We deserve each other<br>
Don't we, Boq?<br>
<br>
BOQ<br>
(spoken) You know what?<br>
(sung) Let's dance.<br>
<br>
NESSAROSE<br>
(spoken) What?!<br>
<br>
BOQ<br>
Let's dance!<br>
<br>
ALL<br>
Dancing through life<br>
Down at the Ozdust<br>
If only because dust<br>
Is what we come to!<br>
And the strange thing<br>
Your life could end up changing<br>
While you're dancing<br>
Through!<br>
<br>
