Lempicka the Musical - Our Time Lyrics
(Performers - Company)
TAMARA:
Please, do you have my husband here?
I've been everywhere
GUARD 1:
Your time is over,
All you stole is in the workers' hands
The orchards, the fields, the wealth,
The jewels, the horses and the lands
All that you took and took for granted,
Ours now, understand
TAMARA:
Please, take this bracelet from my wrist
As a sign that we are friends
I give it to you freely
Friend, can you help me find my husband?
His name is Lempicki
GUARD 1:
You stolе these from us
Our labor made you shinе
Who died in the mines
To bring you these jewels?
Your world is over
TAMARA:
Please, my husband
GUARD 1:
It's our time now
TAMARA:
I need to see him
GUARD 1: (spoken)
Down the hall
TAMARA:
You'll be surprised
Where a pretty smile can take you
Please, do you have my husband here
I've been everywhere
GUARD 2:
Look at those hands,
You never worked a day in all your life
Spoiled and useless,
Unprepared for toil or for strife
Living for nothing but some day
To be a rich man's wife
TAMARA:
Please, take this pendant from my neck
As a sign that we are friends
My mother gave it to me
GUARD 2:
Oh, you stole these from us
Our labor made you shine
We died in the mines
To bring you these jewels
Your world is over
TAMARA:
We have a daughter
GUARD 2:
It's our time now
Your world is over
OTHERS:
Your world is over
Your world is over…
ENSEMBLE:
Come, my girl, what did you expect?
That the world would never change?
We'd never rise, and you would live in ease
In a sea of hungry eyes
Come, my girl, what did you expect?
That the rage, that the rage would never rise
And you would live like this forever?
TAMARA:
Please, do you have my husband here?
(spoken)
Tadeusz Lempicki
GUARD 3: (spoken)
Yes
TAMARA: (spoken)
Oh, thank God
GUARD 3: (spoken)
He is not to be released.
Lempicki, plotting with the Czar's secret police
TAMARA:
Please, take my ring
It is all that I have left
It's been in my family since-
GUARD 3:
Since you stole it from someone else
(spoken)
Is that a diamond?
I have never seen a diamond before.
It's really just a stone, isn't it?
TAMARA: (spoken)
It's worth-
GUARD 3: (spoken)
Nothing. To me.
Not everyone can be bought with money.
What else could you trade?
For a husband's safety?
TAMARA: (spoken)
I- I don't know
GUARD 3: (spoken)
Would you trade your body? For the night.
That seems fair, for a husband's life
TAMARA:
The room spins
Breathe, steady
GUARD 3: (spoken)
It's your choice, you can walk away.
What will happen to him? Hard to say
TAMARA: (spoken)
I can't breathe
GUARD 3: (spoken)
Prisoners die here all the time,
They're no more precious
Than we ever were to you
TAMARA:
I'm dizzy
ENSEMBLE:
You'll be surprised
Where a pretty smile can take you
GUARD 3: (spoken)
Now it's our time!
ENSEMBLE: (overlapping)
Our time
TAMARA:
You need to be
Stronger than you are
Stronger than you feel
Be steel
ENSEMBLE:
Our time
TAMARA:
Walk into hell and back
If I can bring him back
Walk out of this place alive
ENSEMBLE:
Our time
TAMARA:
Walk into hell and back
If I can bring him back
Walk out of this place alive
ENSEMBLE: (spoken)
Justice!
ENSEMBLE:
Our time
TAMARA:
Walk into hell and back
If I can bring him back
ENSEMBLE: (spoken)
Justice!
TAMARA: (spoken)
I'm not leaving without him
GUARD 3: (spoken)
It's funny. You walked in here a little rich girl.
Now you're walking out a whore
ENSEMBLE:
Oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Our time
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Our time
Oh-oh-oh
Revolution!
TAMARA:
The world spins
ENSEMBLE:
Woah-oh
TAMARA:
Some live, some die
ENSEMBLE:
Woah-oh
TAMARA:
I didn't know
I never knew
What I would do
To survive
ENSEMBLE: (overlapping)
Revolution!
TAMARA:
When everything shatters
What matters?
You and I
ENSEMBLE: (overlapping)
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
You and-
You and I
Our time!
The grain growing ripe in the fields
(Revolution!)
Our time!
Those fields where we worked for you
(Hold on tight)
Our time!
What we deserve
Now it's
Our time...
Our time! (History begins again)
Our time! (History begins again)
And this time —
TAMARA: (spoken)
Tadeusz
TADEUSZ: (spoken)
What's happened to our world?
ENSEMBLE:
It's mine
