Dancing Through Life(From "Wicked" Original Broadway Cast Recording/2003)

歌詞

Fiyero The trouble with schools is, they always try to teach the wrong lesson Believe me, I've been kicked out of enough of them to know They want you to become less callow, less shallow But I say why invite stress in? Stop studying strife, and learn to live "the unexamined life"... Dancing through life, skimming the surface Gliding where turf is smooth Life's more painless for the brainless Why think too hard? When it's so soothing... Dancing through life, no need to tough it When you can sluff it off as I do Nothing matters, but knowing nothing matters It's just life, so keep dancing through... Dancing through life, swaying and sweeping And always keeping cool Life is fraught-less when you're thoughtless Those who don't try never look foolish Dancing through life, mindless and careless Make sure you're where less trouble is rife Woes are a-fleeting, blows are a-glancing When you're dancing through life... So, what's the most swankified place in town? Galinda That would be the Ozdust Ballroom. Fiyero Sounds perfect! Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom We'll meet there later tonight We can dance 'til it lights Find the prettiest girl, give her a whirl Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom Come on, follow me You'll be happy to be there... Students Dancing through life Down at the Ozdust... Fiyero If only because dust is what we come to Students Nothing matters But knowing nothing matters It's just life... Fiyero So keep dancing through... Boq Miss Galinda? I—I hope you'll save at least one dance for me. I'll be right there waiting, all night. Galinda Oh, that's so kind. But you know what would be even kinder? See that tragic'ly beautiful girl The one in the chair...it seems so unfair We should go on a spree, and not she Gee, I know someone would be my hero If that someone were to go invite her... Boq Well maybe, I could invite her? Galinda Oh, Bick, really? You would do that for me? Boq I would do anything for you Miss Galinda. Galinda So... Fiyero So I'll be picking you up around eight? Galinda After all— Now that we've met one another Galinda & Fiyero It's clear we deserve each other Galinda You're perfect... Fiyero You're perfect... Galinda & Fiyero So we're perfect together Born to be forever... Dancing through life... Nessarose Oh, Elphaba! Isn't it wonderful? Fin'lly for this one night I'm about to have a fun night With this Munchkin boy Galinda found for me And I only wish there were Something I could do for her to repay her Elphaba, see, we deserve each other And Galinda helped it come true We deserve each other, me and Boq— Elphaba, please try to understand. Elphaba I do... Galinda, listen: Nessa and I were talking about you just now. Galinda And I was just talking about you. I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight! It's really—uh—sharp, don't you think? You know, black is this year's pink! You deserve each other This hat and you, you're both so smart You deserve each other So, here: out of the goodness of my heart Boq Listen, Nessa— Nessarose Yes? Boq Uh, Nessa I've got something to confess, a Reason why, well— Why I asked you here tonight Now, I know it isn't fair... Nessarose Oh, Boq. I know why. Boq You do? Nessarose It's because I'm in this chair And you felt sorry for me Well, isn't that right? Boq No! No! It's because...uh, because... Because you are so beautiful Nessarose Oh, Boq! I think you're wonderful! And we deserve each other Don't you see, this is our chance? We deserve each other Don't we, Boq? Boq You know what? Let's dance! Nessarose What? Boq Let's dance! Students Dancing through life, down at the Ozdust If only because dust is what we come to And the strange thing, your life could up changing While you're dancing through!
