The Witches of Eastwick the Musical - Waiting For The Music To Begin Lyrics
The song is written by Dana P. Rowe and John Dempsey.
DARRYL:
Ear to the strings,
Hand on the pegs,
Wholly in tune
With that thing between your legs.
JANE:
When I was twelve
Friday would come,
I'd go to miss pittro's,
Rosin up my bow.
Stiff as a r ail.
Warm as an iceberg.
Utter precision;
That was status quo.
Anytime I dallied with passion
I was told to stop it,
Rein it in.
And I'd play along as
Was the fashion,
Waiting for the music
To begin.
I'd play . . .
I'd play . . .
I'd play . . .
La la la la la,
La la la la la la . . .
So I grew up,
Polished and pr acticed.
Over the years, I
Learned to play my part.
Never too rushed.
Never with feeling.
All this applied in
Life as well as art.
Janey at the strings like a spider.
Constantly in motion;
Cold and thin.
Terrified to know what
Lay inside her.
Waiting for the music . . .
Waiting for the music . . .

JANE (cont’d):
Oh, for the days when it all seemed so clear.
Sticking to the beat,
Staying to the tone.
Day after week after month after year.
Perfectly in time,
Perfectly alone.
But what sort of man
Could lay claim to my soul?
Half ravel,
Half rossini,
Part shostakovich and part paganini?
Who knows?
Who knows?
For what sort of man
Would I lose all control?
Mahler-esque,
Slightly greig-y.
Peppered with br ahms, plus a pinch of respighi.
Here goes . . .
Here goes . . .
The notes carry on
In their endless campaign.
The chords have turned darker
Where once they were plain.
The air's growing warmer
With ev'ry refr ain.
The room's getting hotter,
The sound is insane!
Is the bowing
Fin'lly bending
In the heat of
This unending
DARRYL:

JANE:
Oh . . . !
Waiting and waiting
And waiting and waiting . . .
And waiting
For the music
To begin –
