Dancing Through Life - Stephen Schwartz.mp3

[00:00.410] Fiyero
[00:00.414] The trouble with schools is
[00:02.404] They always try to teach the wrong lesson
[00:07.558] Believe me, I've been kicked out
[00:09.604] Of enough of them to know
[00:14.298] They want you to become less callow
[00:15.826] Less shallow
[00:17.646] But I say: why invite stress in?
[00:22.110] Stop studying strife
[00:25.576] And learn to live "the unexamined life"...
[00:39.703] Dancing through life
[00:41.611] Skimming the surface
[00:43.693] Gliding where turf is smooth
[00:48.270] Life's more painless
[00:50.222] For the brainless
[00:51.930] Why think too hard?
[00:53.990] When it's so soothing
[00:56.270] Dancing through life
[00:58.105] No need to tough it
[01:00.350] When you can sluff it off as I do
[01:04.336] Nothing matters
[01:06.394] But knowing nothing matters
[01:08.996] It's just life
[01:10.827] So keep dancing through...
[01:16.862] Dancing through life
[01:18.704] Swaying and sweeping
[01:20.954] And always keeping cool
[01:25.403] Life is faught less
[01:27.514] When you're thoughtless
[01:29.288] Those who don't try
[01:31.229] Never look foolish
[01:33.547] Dancing through life
[01:35.326] Mindless and careless
[01:37.526] Make sure you're where less
[01:39.257] Trouble is rife
[01:41.484] Woes are fleeting
[01:43.500] Blows are glancing
[01:45.688] When you're dancing
[01:48.865] Through life...
[01:58.389] So—what's the most swankified place in town?
[02:01.890] Galinda
[02:01.894] That would be the Ozdust Ballroom.
[02:04.225] Fiyero
[02:04.226] Sounds perfect.
[02:06.620] Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
[02:10.332] We'll meet there later tonight
[02:14.846] We can dance till it's light
[02:17.757] Find the prettiest girl...
[02:20.483] Give her a whirl
[02:22.519] Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
[02:27.252] Come on—Follow me
[02:30.720] You'll be happy to be there...
[02:34.955] Students
[02:34.956] Dancing Through Life
[02:37.010] Down at the Ozdust...
[02:38.928] Fiyero
[02:38.930] If only because dust
[02:40.760] Is what we come to
[02:43.145] Students
[02:43.149] Nothing matters
[02:44.817] But knowing nothing matters
[02:47.396] It's just life...
[02:53.730] Fiyero
[02:53.734] So keep dancing through...
[02:59.040] Boq
[02:59.042] Miss Galinda—I hope you'll save at least one dance for me.
[03:02.720] I'll be right here. Waiting. All night.
[03:04.730] Galinda
[03:04.732] Oh—that's so kind. But you know what would be even kinder?
[03:11.533] See that tragic'ly beautiful girl
[03:14.708] The one in the chair
[03:17.532] Iit seems so unfair
[03:19.680] We should go on a spree
[03:21.545] And not she
[03:22.804] Gee—
[03:23.693] I know someone would be my hero
[03:26.916] If that someone were
[03:29.464] To go invite her...
[03:33.130] Boq
[03:33.133] Well maybe, I could invite her?
[03:35.740] Galinda
[03:35.744] Oh, Bick, really?
[03:37.940] You would do that for me?
[03:40.890] Boq
[03:40.893] I would do anything for you Miss Galinda.
[03:44.886] Galinda
[03:44.889] So...
[03:46.140] Fiyero
[03:46.141] So I'll be picking youup around eight?
[03:49.227] Galinda
[03:49.230] After all
[03:51.809] Now that we've met one another
[03:55.513] Galinda & Fiyero
[03:55.514] It's clear we deserve each other
[03:59.265] Galinda
[03:59.267] You're perfect...
[04:00.005] Fiyero
[04:00.007] You're perfect...
[04:00.700] Galinda & Fiyero
[04:00.701] So we're perfect together
[04:03.727] Born to be forever...
[04:06.683] Dancing Through Life...
[04:13.640] Nessarose
[04:13.644] Oh, Elphaba—Isn't it wonderful?
[04:19.001] Fin'lly for this one night
[04:21.455] I'm about to have a fun night
[04:24.734] With this Munchkin boy
[04:26.674] Galinda found for me
[04:29.745] And I only wish there were
[04:32.410] Something I could do for her
[04:35.642] To repay her
[04:38.340] Elphaba, see
[04:41.480] We deserve each other
[04:43.459] And Galinda helped it come true
[04:47.719] We deserve each other
[04:49.948] Me and Boq
[04:51.726] Please Elphaba try to understand.
[04:54.030] Elphaba
[04:54.033] I do...
[04:59.669] Galinda, listen. Nessa and I were talking about you just now.
[05:01.993] Galinda
[05:01.995] And I was just talking about you.
[05:03.796] I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight!
[05:08.016] It's really—uh—sharp
[05:09.808] Don't you think?
[05:11.140] You know—black is this year's pink
[05:14.062] You deserve each other
[05:16.314] This hat and you
[05:17.732] You're both so smart
[05:20.241] You deserve each other
[05:22.349] So here
[05:23.459] Out of the goodness of my heart
[06:19.065] Boq
[06:19.068] Listen Nessa
[06:20.178] Nessarose
[06:20.180] Yes?
[06:20.486] Boq
[06:20.488] Uh, Nessa.
[06:21.745] I've got something to confess
[06:24.869] A reason why, well
[06:26.969] Why I asked you here tonight
[06:29.903] Now I know it isn't fair...
[06:32.800] Nessarose
[06:32.804] Oh, Boq. I know why.
[06:35.135] Boq
[06:35.137] You do?
[06:36.295] Nessarose
[06:36.296] It's because I'm in this chair
[06:39.158] And you felt sorry for me
[06:42.298] Well—isn't that right?
[06:43.765] Boq
[06:43.769] No! no! It's because...because...
[06:47.986] Because you are so beautiful
[06:51.105] Nessarose
[06:51.107] Oh, Boq! I think you're wonderful!
[06:54.706] And we deserve each other
[06:56.851] Don't you see, this is our chance?
[07:01.340] We deserve each other
[07:03.308] Don't we, Boq?
[07:05.070] Boq
[07:05.073] You know what?
[07:06.728] Let's dance!
[07:08.505] Nessarose
[07:08.509] What?
[07:10.895] Boq
[07:10.897] Let's Dance!

[07:16.847] Is what we come to
[07:19.136] And the strange thing:

[07:23.067] While you're dancing
[07:29.387] Through!
