You've got the sparkle in your eyes
Look at me, you entrancer

The Workers :
Rattle, clang, crack,

There are rhinestones on the floor
Suns and moons up in the celling
Dance with me, they are yours

The Workers :
Clatter, crash and clack,
Racket, bang and thump,
Rattle, clang and crack,
Thud, whack, bam !

Selma :
Clatter - machines greet you and say :
We tap out a rhythm and sweep you away.
A clatter - machine, what a magical sound,
A room full of noises that spins you around...

( STOMP INTERLUDE )

Kathy :
Darling Selma, look I'm dancing
Faster than a shooting star,
Cvalda's here
Cvalda sings.

Kathy / Selma :
Clatter - machines greet us and say :
We tap out a rhythm and sweep you away.
A clatter - machine, what a magical sound,
A room full of noises that spins you around...

I've seen it all, I've seen the willow - trees,
I've seen my land on the first day of peace,
I've seen a friend killed by a friend,
And lives that were over before they were spent.
I've seen what I was - I know what I'ii be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see !

You haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru !
I'm happy to say I had better to do
What about China ? You've seen the Great Wall ?
All walls are great, if the roof doesn't fall

And the man you will marry ? The home you will share ?
Oh, no, but I really, I really don't care
You've never been to the Niagara Falls ?
I have seen water, its water, that's all

The Eiffel Tower, the Empire State ?
My pulse was as high on my very fisrt date
Your grandson's hands as he plays with your hair ?
Oh, no, I really, I really don't care

I've seen it all, I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness in one little spark.
I've seen what I chose - and I've seen what I need.
And that is enough. To want more would be greed.
I've seen what I was - and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see !

You've seen it all and allyou have seen
Is there to review on your own little screen
The light and the dark, the big and the small
Just keep in mind - you need no more at all
You've seen what you were - and know what you'll be
You've seen it all - you don't need to see !

Dark night is falling
the sun is gone to bed
the innocent are dreaming
as you should sleepy - head
sleepy - head :

all the love above
I send into you
comfort and protection
I'll watch over you
but don't ask me what's gonna happen next
I know the future
I'd love to lead you the way

just to make it easier on you

but you are gonna have to find out for yourself

my dearest scatterheart
there is comfort
right in the eye of the hurricane

just to make it easier on you

but you are gonna have to find out for yourself

all the hurt in the world
you know
there's nothing i'd love to do more
than spare you from that burden
it's gonna be hard
if I only could
shelter you from that pain

just to make it easier on you

but you are gonna have to find out for yourself

Why do I love it so much ?
What kind of magic is this ?
How come I can't help adore it ?
If it's just another musical.

No one minds it at all
If I'm having a ball,
We're in a musical, a musical,

And there's always someone to catch me,
There's always someone for me,
There's always someone to catch me,
When you fall...

Why do I love you so much ?
What kind of magic is it ?
How come I can't help adore you ?
You were in a musical.

You didn't mind it at all
That I was having a ball,
At your musical, your musical !

And you were always there to catch me,
You were always there for me,
You were always there to catch me,
When I'd fall...

Say it to me again !
I don't mind it at all
If you're having a ball,
This is a musical, a musical !

I'll always be there to catch you,
I'll always be there for you,
I'll always be there to catch you,
When you fall...

In the musicals, the musicals !
We'll always be there to catch you,
We'll always be there for you,
We'll always be there to catch you,
When you fall...

Selma :
Twenty five, twenty six
Twenty seven, twenty eight steps

Etc..

Train - whistles - a sweet clementine
blueberries - dancers in line
cobwebs - a bakery sign
Ooooh - a sweet clementine
Ooooh - dancers in line

(If) Living is seeing
I'm holding my breath
In wonder - I wonder
What will happen next ?
A new world - a new day
To see...

I'm softly walking on air
Halfway to heaven from here
Sunlight unfolds in my hair

Ooooh - I'm walking on air
Ooooh - to heaven from here

(If) Living is seeing
I'm holding my breath
In wonder - I wonder
What will happen next ?
A new world - a new day
To see...
