Lempicka the Musical - Speed Lyrics
(Performers - Eden Espinosa, Amber Iman, Andrew Samonsky & George Abud)
TADEUSZ: (spoken)
Where were you? With her?
TAMARA: (spoken)
It's been a terrible night.
Can we fight about this later?
TADEUSZ: (spoken)
I will not be dangled like a plaything.
I am your husband!
TAMARA: (spoken)
Alright. We'll do this now
TADEUSZ: (spoken)
It's her or me
TAMARA: (spoken)
Is that the best you've got?
A polite ultimatum?
(sung)
Handsome men never learn to fight
Always had everything handed to you
Not me
Everything I have I grabbed with these two hands
You've never fought for anything, but I have
I got you!
Belly swelling as I walked down the aisle
Biggеst risk a girl can take
But I knew you'd marry me
In a drеss with a train forty feet long
I knew you'd marry me
TADEUSZ: (spoken)
My father was not happy
TAMARA: (spoken)
But we were! Remember
(sung)
Fight for this now
Don't let go
Don't walk away when we're so close
This is all we ever wanted
TADEUSZ: (spoken)
What you want. You don't know what I want!
TAMARA:
Fight for this now
TADEUSZ:
A land where I belong
TAMARA:
Don't let go
TADEUSZ:
Home
TAMARA:
Don't lose your nerve, we're getting so close
TADEUSZ:
Dignity
TAMARA:
To all we ever wanted
TADEUSZ:
This is nothing that I wanted
TAMARA: (spoken)
Do you know what I've done for you?
You used to ask
Did you just stop wondering the price
I paid for your freedom?
TADEUSZ: (spoken)
Tamara?
TAMARA: (spoken)
You know how I got you out?
TADEUSZ: (spoken)
No!
TAMARA:
I let them do anything to me
Whatever they wanted
And you know what?
It didn't touch me
I walked out of there clean
TADEUSZ: (spoken)
Tamara, God, no!
TAMARA:
Because I had you!
Because I loved you
Fight for this now
TADEUSZ:
No!
TAMARA:
Come on!
Don't let go
Fight for this now
You must know
You are all I ever wanted
TADEUSZ:
No!
TAMARA:
Fight for this now!
TADEUSZ:
You should have left me there to die
TAMARA:
I won't let you go
TADEUSZ:
God, I can't
MARINETTI:
The chrome shines like a woman's hair
In the light
Feel the beauty of speed
The machine, make it clean
The beauty of speed
The machine, the future
Is barreling down on us
Feel the rush
TAMARA: (spoken)
There you are, thank God
RAFAELA: (spoken)
You think you know me because you painted
my picture a time or two
TAMARA: (spoken)
Seven
RAFAELA: (spoken)
All that looking. Did you ever see me?
TAMARA: (spoken)
When I couldn't find you,
I thought I'd go crazy
RAFAELA: (spoken)
I am tired of being something you hide
TAMARA: (spoken)
You know it's too dangerous.
Someday maybe people will understand
RAFAELA: (spoken)
When?
TAMARA: (spoken)
When the world is not in flames
RAFAELA: (spoken)
When will that be?
TAMARA: (spoken)
Don't you see what's happening in this country?
Across Europe? Everywhere!
Money is the only thing that can protect you.
Without money you get swept away,
You're nothing!
RAFAELA: (spoken)
Oh. So I'm nothing?
(sung)
What was I to you?
TAMARA: (spoken)
My love
RAFAELA:
Another bauble you had to have?
TAMARA: (spoken)
My jewel!
RAFAELA:
A jewel?
Something you could buy to show the world?
TAMARA:
Your eyes so cold
How can they be?
Like the Black Sea
So cold your heart stops before drowning
RAFAELA:
Men buy, they rent me
TAMARA:
I'll buy you anything you want
RAFAELA:
I'm an hour or two they've spent
TAMARA:
Shoes, dress, an apartment
RAFAELA:
A week at the beach sometimes if they please
BOTH:
A month at the chateau
RAFAELA:
While the wife is overseas
TAMARA:
Please
RAFAELA:
I know what men say
TAMARA:
Stay with me please
RAFAELA:
I know what you believe
TAMARA:
Rafaela!
RAFAELA:
You stole my soul
I can't let go
Give back my life
Give back my heart
Give back the time I didn't know you
Give back my life
Give back my heart
TAMARA:
You think I don't love you
RAFAELA:
Give back my life
TAMARA:
It's torture to love you
RAFAELA:
Give back my heart
Give back the time I didn't know you
TAMARA: (overlapping)
It's torture to let you go
Though you burn me, no
I can't let you go
I can't let you go
RAFAELA: (overlapping)
Give back my life
Give back my heart
Leave him!
Be with me
In the light, no more lies
Leave him
Love me
There's no one watching
It's just the two of us
TAMARA: (spoken)
He is my name. My family.
He is who I am
RAFAELA:
You stole my soul
I can't let go
TAMARA: (spoken)
Rafaela, I can't
RAFAELA:
I can't let go
(overlapping)
Give back my life
Give back my heart
Give back the time I didn't know you
Give back my life
Give back my heart
Give back my life
Give back my heart
Give back the time I didn't know you
Give back my life
Give back my heart
TAMARA: (overlapping)
Fight for this now
You are all I ever wanted
Fight for this now
You are all I ever wanted
TADEUSZ: (overlapping)
No
This is nothing that I wanted
No!
This is nothing that I wanted
MARINETTI: (overlapping)
The beauty of speed
The machine, the future
Is barreling down on us
Feel the rush
Feel the beauty of speed
The machine, the future
Is careening like a drunken thing
Hear it sing
Feel the rush of the wind
While the pistons push
Hear the whoosh of the engines
That pass you by
See the sky filling up
With machines, each silver plane
A machine
RAFAELA: (spoken)
Coward. Run back to your husband
TAMARA: (spoken)
Rafaela, please
RAFAELA: (spoken)
You will regret this til your dying breath
TAMARA: (spoken)
Tadeusz. She's gone. It's just us
TADEUSZ: (spoken)
It's too late. I'm sorry, Mouse
ENSEMBLE:
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Our time, our time
Our time, our time
MARINETTI:
The glory of metal that flies on by
The beauty of combustion,
A knife that gleams
While it severs the past from us
Feel the rush, feel the freedom
Of now, made clean, make it speed
Make it metal, the future is now
It's a mighty gleaming thing
Cutting through the blue sky
To tomorrow
Now!
