Lyrics

[TAMARA] Woman is shape, breath, form Woman is bone, muscle, light Woman is curve and shadow Woman is... [AUCTIONEER 1, spoken] Yes, I discovered her — the name is Lempicka. She had been completely forgotten. I found a whole cache of these canvases in a storage vault in Paris. Amazing representation of that era! [TAMARA, sung] And time, merciless beast Keeps speeding by [AUCTIONEER 1, spoken] So decadent! So Deco! [TAMARA, sung] Unceasing, making us dizzy Spin and velocity, grip the wheel tight [AUCTIONEER 1, spoken] But there's something about this work [TAMARA] Stop [AUCTIONEER 1] It reaches out [TAMARA] Just stop [AUCTIONEER 1] It grabs you [TAMARA] Catch one momеnt! [AUCTIONEER 1] The women are likе machines! The machines are like women! [PATRON] I bid! [AUCTIONEER 2] Sold for \$2.3 million [AUCTIONEER 3] For \$12.6 million [AUCTIONEER 1] \$25 million! [TAMARA, sung] Spinning so fast The world rushes by, a giant machine Can you make the world stop? Just for a moment? There, your dark eyes, there your smile Your laugh, your stride, your light Your color, your pulse Your sweat, your speed Your muscle, your flesh Your skin, your bone Your shadow, your breath Your blood, your mouth Your cry shattered Your dark eyes, there your smile Your laugh, your stride, your light Your color, your pulse Your sweat, your speed Your muscle, your flesh Your skin, your bone Your shadow, your breath Your blood, your mouth Your cry shattered Your dark eyes, there your smile Your laugh, your stride, your light [ENSEMBLE] The world spins We live, we die How can we know? We never know what will survive (Revolution!) When everything shatters What matters? You and I The world spins, hold on tight Our time! The world never stops its spin (Revolution!) Our time! The stars never stop their shine (Hold on tight) You and I What will we do? (Now it's) Our time! Our time [TAMARA] We do not control the world [ENSEMBLE] Our time [TAMARA] We control one flat rectangle of canvas At a time
