LIFT the Musical - Octet Lyrics
"Octet" is a song from the musical LIFT performed by Company.
ANGEL
AM I FUCKING NUTS?
JUST HIT A ONE WAY STREET WITH NO TURNING.
BUT I’M GETTING OFF ON THE FACT HE’S STRAIGHT.
WHO AM I KIDDING?
MAYBE AS I’VE LOOKED THE OTHER WAY
YOU’VE BEEN STANDING THERE,
ADMIRING MY ... ADMIRING MY ...
IF I TAKE THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND
THAT I’M IN CHARGE HERE,
OR IF I DECIDE TO CHANGE DIRECTION
THAT’LL BE OK. IT’S OK.
HEADING STRAIGHT TO THESE UNCHARTERED ROADS
AND NEVER LOOKING BACK. AND MISS ALL DIVERSION SIGNS.
I HIT THE OPEN ROADS.
BYT/TDH/SECRETARY/AMY
I KEEP BUSY I KEEP YOUR PICTURE IN A DRAWER,
WHERE I KNOW IT WON’T JUMP OUT.
FRENCH TEACHER/KATE/SARAH
BUT YOU TWIST MY ARM,
BUSKER
THEN YOU SMILE A LITTLE.
SECRETARY
AND IT MAKES ME WARM.
BUSKER/ANGEL
MUST HAVE SLEPT THROUGH A CYCLE.
CAN’T WAKE MYSELF
CAN’T SEEM TO SHAKE OFF THIS ...
ALL
SO YOU TAKE CONTROL, COZ YOU NEED ME THERE.
YOU’RE A CATALYST, A DIVERSION, I CANNOT DO WITHOUT.
FRENCH TEACHER
AND CANNOT TRANSLATE.
ALL
BUT NOW I’M LOST.
KATE
LOST IN HIS LAUGHTER,
SECRETARY
LOST IN A LETTER, TAKING DICTATION,
BOTH
LOST IN HIS SMILE.
ALL
BUT NOW I’M LOST.
ANGEL BYT
LOST IN A CHAT-ROOM, LOST IN A TICKET,
LOST IN DIVERSIONS, LEFT IN A DRAWER,
LOST ON AN A ROAD. LOST IN HER SMILE.
FRENCH TEACHER
LOST IN A SMELL
LEFT ON HER PILLOW.
ALL
BUT NOW I’M LOST. LOST IN THIS CITY.
LOST IN A MINUTE, CROWDED BY FACES,
NON OF THEM YOURS.
LOST LOOKING FOR ANSWERS.
FRENCH TEACHER/BUSKER
LOST KNOWING THE ANSWERS.
BYT
IS IT THE WAY YOU THINK SHE REMEMBERS YOU?
AS SHE’LL PLACE A COIN INSIDE YOUR CASE,
ANGEL
SMILES AT YOU AS SHE WALKS BY.
FRENCH TEACHER
OR IS IT HOW YOU THINK OF HER,
KATE
THINK OF HER,
FRENCH TEACHER/BYT
HOW MANY MINUTES YOU WASTE THINKING?
ANGEL
THE TIME FOR BEING TONGUE-TIED IS OVER.
TELL HER NOW.
ALL
IT’S TIME YOU FACED YOUR FEELINGS.
JUST SAY HOW YOU FEEL.
JUST FINISH THE SONG.
