From the Gutter to the Stars

Lyrics

[EMILY] Lying in the gutter Looking at the stars Listening to her breathing As she passes through these rusty bars Free as any bird with wings as wide I'm free when I am with her Dancing down the hallway Laughing at her chains Others fade away, yet somehow she remains Strong as any storm, and just as wild I'm strong when I'm with her Yes, I know they could separate us This is true They don't even hate us It's just what they do But, if only in my dreams, I will follow you From the gutter to the stars I will wash your stockings Lace your corset tight Waiting in the wings [VERONICA] No! On the stage with me [EMILY] Alright [VERONICA] When the curtain closes [EMILY] I'll be there [VERONICA] You won't go, nowhere? [EMILY] I'm home when I am with you With the slightest touch I'm in Trafalgar Square Swinging 'round the lamp posts [VERONICA] Breathing in clean air [EMILY] Will they understand us? [VERONICA] Just be brave [EMILY] I'm brave when I am with you Yes, I know they could separate us This is true They don't even hate us It's just what they do But, if only in my dreams, I will follow you From the gutter to the stars [VERONICA] What is that over there? [EMILY] It's a trap… [VERONICA] It's a stage! What is this in my hand? [EMILY] It's a scrap… [VERONICA] It's a page from a playbill With both of our names [EMILY] Side by side? [VERONICA] As it should be! [EMILY] It could be? [VERONICA] My darling, just look! [EMILY] It's a carpeted floor It's a dressing room door It's a crowd wanting more! [EMILY & VERONICA] I can see it now! [EMILY] Yes, I know they could separate us [VERONICA] They could separate us [EMILY] This is true [VERONICA] This is true [EMILY] They don't even hate us [VERONICA] They don't even hate us [EMILY] It's just what they do [VERONICA] It's just what they do [EMILY & VERONICA] But, if only in my dreams, I will follow you [EMILY] From the gutter to the stars [VERONICA] Let me show you what living is! [EMILY & VERONICA] They could separate us This is true They don't even hate us It's just what they do But, if only in my dreams, I will follow you [EMILY] From the gutter to… [VERONICA] From the gutter to… [EMILY & VERONICA] The stars… The stars…
