Lyrics

[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!
