Playlist Spring Awakening

spring awakening - all that s known

MELCHIOR
All that?s known
In History, in Science
Overthrown
At school, at home, by blind men

You doubt them,
And soon they bark and hound you
Till everything you say is just another bad about you

All they say
Is ?Trust in what is written?
Wars are made
And somehow that is wisdom

Thought is suspect
And money is their idol
And nothing is okay unless it?s scripted in their Bible

But I know
There?s so much more to find
Just in looking through myself, and not at them

Still, I know
To trust my own true mind
And to say there?s a way through this

On I go
To wonder and to learning
Name the stars and know their dark returning

I?m calling
To know the world?s true yearning
The hunger that a child feels for everything they?re shown

You watch me
Just watch me
I?m calling
And one day all will know

You watch me
Just watch me
I?m calling
And one day all will know

spring awakening - and then there were none

MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
Dear Herr Stief - Moritz,
I?ve spent the entire day thinking about your note
Truly it touched me ? it did ? that you would think of me as a friend
Of course, I was saddened to hear that you exams went off less well than you?d hoped
And that you will not be promoted, come fall
And, yet, I must say straightaway that fleeing to America is hardly the solution
And, even if it were, I cannot provide the money you request?

MORITZ
Uh huh?uh huh?uh huh?well, fine
Not like it?s even worth the time
But still, you know, you wanted more
Sorry, it won?t change ? been there before

MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
You would do me wrong, Herr Stiefel to read into my refusal any lack of affection
On the contrary, as Melchior?s mother, I truly believe it to be my duty to curb this momentary loss?

MORITZ
The things that sucks ? okay? ? for me
A thousand bucks, I?m, like, scott free
And I mean, please?That?s all I need
Get real, Jose!
By now you know the score?

MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
Should you like, I am ready to write your parents
I will try to convince them that no one could?ve worked harder last semester
And also that too rigorous a condemnation of your current misfortune
Could have the gravest possible effect on?

MORITZ
You wanna laugh, it?s too absurd
You start to ask, can?t hear a word
You?re gonna crash and burn
Right, tell me more?

MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
Still, Herr Stiefel, one thing in your letter disturbed me
Your ? what shall we call it? ? veiled threat that should escape not be possible
You would take your own life?

MORITZ
Okay, so now we do the play
Act like we so care. No way!
You?ll write my folks? Well, okay
Babe, that?s how it goes?

MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
My dear boy, the world is filled with men ?
Businessmen, scientists, scholars even who have done rather poorly in school
And, yet, have gone on to brilliant careers
Consider our friend?

MORITZ
They?ll freak, or won?t
You toe the line
You tell your soul, ?Just kill some time.?
Will it quit? It will until they don?t?

They?re not my home, not anymore
Not like they so were before
Still, I?ll split, and they?ll like?
Well, who knows?

MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
I any case, I assure you that your present misfortune will have no effect on my feelings for you
Or, on your relationship with Melchior?

MORITZ & BOYS
Uh huh?uh huh?uh huh?well, fine
Not like it?s even worth the time
But still, you know, you wanted more
Okay, so nothing?s changed ? heard that before

You wanna laugh, it?s too absurd
You start to ask, can?t hear a word
You want to crash a burn
Right, tell me more

You start to cave, you start to cry
You try to run, nowhere to hide
You want to crumble up, and close that door

MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
So, head high, Herr Stiefel!
And do let me hear from you soon
In the meantime, I am unchangingly, and most fondly yours,
Fanny Gabor

MORITZ
Just fuck it ? right? Enough, that?s it
You?ll still go on ? well, for a bit
Another day of utter shit
And then there were none?

MORITZ & BOYS
And, then there were none?
And, then there were none?
And, then there were none?

spring awakening - don t do sadness blue wind

MORITZ
Aweful sweet to be a little butterfly.
Just wingin' over things
And nothing deep inside.
Nothing goin', goin' wild in you, you know.
You're slowing by the riverside,
Or floatin' high and blue.

Or may be cool to be a little summer wind.
Like once through everything
And then away again.
With the taste of dust in your mouth all day
But no need to know.
Like sadness, you just sail away.

'Cuz you know I don't do sadness,
Not even a little bit.
Just don't need it in my life.
Don't want any part of it.
I don't do sadness.
Hey, I've done my time
Lookin' back on it all.
Man, it blows my mind.
I don't do sadness,
So been there.
Don't do sadness,
Just don't care.

(Scene)

ILSE
Spring and summer ev?ry other day
Blue wind gets so sad
Blowin? through the thick corn,
Through the bales of hay,
Through the open books on the grass
Spring and summer

Sure, when it?s autumn
Wind always wants to
Creep up and haunt you
Whistlin? it?s got you
With its heartache, with its sorrow
Winter wind sings and it cries

Spring and summer ev?ry other day
Blue wind gets so pained
Blowin? through the thick corn,
Through the bales of hay,
Through the sudden drift of the rain
Spring and summer.

(Scene)

MORITZ
So maybe I should be some kind of laundry line.
Hang their things on me
And I will swing 'em dry.
You're just wavin' the sun throught the afternoon,
And then see, they come to set you free
Beneath the risin' moon.

MORIZ (With ILSE)
'Cuz you know I don't do sadness,
Not even a little bit.
Just don't need it in my life.
Don't want any part of it.
I don't do sadness.
Hey, I've done my time
Lookin' back on it all.
Man, it blows my mind.
I don't do sadness,
So been there.
Don't do sadness,
Just don't care.

ILSE (With MORITZ)
Spring and summer ev?ry other day
Blue wind gets so lost
Blowin? through the thick corn,
Through the bales of hay

Spring and summer ev?ry other day
Blue wind gets so lost
Blowin? through the thick corn,
Through the bales of hay,
Through the wandering clouds of the dust
Spring and summer

spring awakening - left behind

MELCHIOR
You fold his hands, and smooth his tie
You gently lift his chin ?
Were you really so blind, and unkind to him?

Can?t help the itch to touch, to kiss
To hold him once again
Now to close his eyes, never open them

ALL
A shadow passed, a shadow passed
Yearning, yearning for the fool it called a home

MELCHIOR
All things he never did are left behind
All the things his Mama wished he?d bear in mind
And all his Dad ever hoped he know

ALL
O-o-o-o-o-o-

MELCHIOR
All the talks you never had
The Saturdays you never spent
All the grown-up places you never went

And all of the crying you wouldn?t understand
You just let him cry ? ?Make a man out of him.?

ALL
A shadow passed, a shadow passed
Yearning, yearning for the fool it called a home

MELCHIOR
All things he ever wished are left behind
All the things his Mama did to make him mind
And how his Dad had hoped he?d grow

All things he ever lived are left behind
All the fears that ever flickered through his mind
All the sadness he?d come to own

ALL
O-o-o-o-o-o
O-o-o-o-o-o
O-o-o-o-o-o

A shows passed, a shadow passed
Yearning, yearning for the fool it called a home

MELCHIOR
And, it whistles through the ghosts still left behind
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind
O-o-

spring awakening - mama who bore me

Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so bad

Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels
No sleep in Heaven, or Bethlehem

Some pray that one day
Christ will come a'-callin'
They light a candle
And hope that it glows
And some just lie there
Crying for him to come and find them
But when he comes they don't know how to go

Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so sad

Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels
No sleep in Heaven, or Bethlehem

spring awakening - my junk

[WENDLA]
In the midst of this nothing. This miss of a life.
Still there's this wanting to see you go by.

[MARTHA]
It's almost like lovin'. Sad as that is.

[THEA]
May not be cool, but it's so where I live.

[ANNA]
It's like I'm your lover or more like your ghost.
I spend the day wondering what you do, where you go.

[THEA]
I try and just kick it but what can I do.
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.

[ALL GIRLS]
See us, winter walking after a storm.
It's chill in the wind but it's warm in your arms.
The stop all snow line, may not be true.
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.

[GEORG]
Well, you?ll have to excuse me, I know it?s so off.
I love when you do stuff that?s rude and so wrong.

[HANSCHEN]
I go up to my room, turn the stereo on?
Shoot up some you, and the you is some song.

[ANNA]
I lie back just driftin' and play out these scenes
I ride on the rush of all the hopes and the dreams.

[THEA]
I May be neglecting the things I should do.
But we've all got our junk, and my junk is you.

[ALL]
See we still keep talkin' after you're gone.
You still with me then feels so good in my arms.
They say you go blind, maybe it's true.
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.

It's like we stop time. What can I do?
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.
My junk is you.
My junk is you.
You. You. You.

spring awakening - the bitch of living

MORITZ
God, I dreamed there was an angel
Who could hear me through the wall
As I cried out, like, in Latin ?This is so not life at all
Help me out, out of this nightmare.?
Then I heard her silver call
She said, ?Just give it time, kid. I come to one and all.?

She said, ?Give me that hand, please, and the itch you can?t control.
Let me teach you how to handle all the sadness in your soul.
Oh, we?ll work that silver magic,
Then we?ll aim it all the wall.?
She said, ?Love may make you blind, kid, but I wouldn?t mind at all.?

ALL
It?s the bitch of living

OTTO
The bitch, just the bitch

ALL
With nothing but your hand

OTTO
Just the bitch, yeah

ALL
Just the bitch of living
As someone you can?t stand

GEORG
See, each night it?s, like, fantastic
Tossing, turning without rest
?Cause my days at the piano
With my teacher and her breasts
And the music?s, like, the one thing
I can?t even get at all
And those breasts!
I mean, God, please, just let those apples fall

ALL
It?s the bitch of living

OTTO
The bitch!

ALL
With nothing going on, nothing going on
Just the bitch of living
Asking: What went wrong?
Do they think we want this?
Oh, who knows!

ERNST
See, there?s showering in gym class

HANSCHEN
Bobby Maler, he?s the best
Look so nasty in those khakis

ERNST
God, my whole life?s like some test

OTTO
Then there?s Marianna Wheelan
As if she?d return my call

HANSCHEN
It?s like, just kiss some ass, man
Then you can screw ?em all

MELCHIOR
It?s the bitch of living
And living in your head
It?s the bitch of living
And sensing God is dead

ALL
It?s the bitch of living
And trying to get ahead
It?s the bitch of living
Just getting out of bed
It?s the bitch of living
And getting what you get
It?s the bitch of living

MELCHIOR
And knowing this is it

ALL
God, is this it?
This can?t be it
Oh God, what a bitch!

spring awakening - the dark i know well

MARTHA
There is a part I can?t tell
About the dark I know well

You say, ?Time for bed now child,?
Mom just smiles that smile
Just like she never saw me
Just like she never saw me

So, I leave, wanting to hide
Knowing deep inside
You are coming to me
You are coming to me

You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight
And then you hold me and you whisper,
?Child, the Lord won?t mind.
It?s just you and me.
Child, you?re a beauty.

?God, it?s good ? the lovin? ? ain?t it good tonight?
You ain?t seen nothing yet ? gonna treat you right.
It?s just you and me
Child you?re a beauty.?

ILSE
I don?t scream, though I know it?s wrong
I just play along
I lie there and breathe
Lie there and breathe

I wanna be strong
I want the world to find out
That you?re dreamin? on me
Me and my ?beauty?
Me and my ?beauty?

BOTH
You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight
And then you hold me and you whisper,
?Child, the Lord won?t mind.
It?s just you and me.
Child, you?re a beauty.

?God, it?s good ? the lovin? ? ain?t it good tonight?
You ain?t seen nothing yet ? gonna treat you right.
It?s just you and me
Child you?re a beauty.?

There is a part I can?t tell
About the dark I know well

There is a part I can?t tell
About the dark I know well

There is a part I can?t tell
About the dark I know well

There is a part I can?t tell
About the dark I know well

spring awakening - the guilty ones

WENDLA
Something?s started crazy ?
Sweet and unknown

Something you keep
In a box on the street ?
Now it?s longing for a home

ALL
And who can say what dreams are?

WENDLA
Wake me in time to be lonely and sad

ALL
And who can say what we are?

WENDLA
This is the season for dreaming

And now our bodies are the guilty ones
Who touch
And color the hours

Night won?t breathe
Oh how we
Fall into silence from the sky

And whisper some silver reply

MELCHIOR
Pulse is gone and racing ?
All fits and starts

Window by window
You try and look into
This brave new you that you are

ALL
And who can say what dreams are?

MELCHIOR & WENDLA
Wake me in time to be out in the cold

ALL
And who can say what we are?

MELCHIOR & WENDLA
This is the reason for dreaming

ALL
And now our bodies are the guilty ones ?
Our touch
Will fill every hour

Huge and dark
Oh our hearts
Will murmur the blues from on high

Then whisper some silver reply

And now our bodies are the guilty ones ?
Our touch
Will color hours

Night won?t breathe
Oh how we
Fall in silence from the sky

Then whisper some silver reply

spring awakening - the mirror blue night

BOYS
Flip on a switch, and everything?s fine ?
No more lips, no more tongue, no more ears, no more eyes
The naked blue angel, who peers through the blinds
Disappears in the gloom of the mirror-blue night

MELCHIOR
But there?s nowhere to hide from these bones, from my mind
It?s broken inside ? I?m a man and a child
I?m at home with a ghost, who got left in the cold
Who knocks at my peace, with no keys to my soul

BOYS
And the whispers of fear, the chill up the spine
Will steal away too, with a flick of the light
The minute you do, with fingers so blind
You remove every but of the blue from your mind

MELCHIOR
But there?s nowhere to hide from the ghost in my mind
It?s cold in these bones ? of a man and a child
And there?s no one who knows, and there?s nowhere to go
There?s no one to see who can see to my soul

spring awakening - the song of purple summer

ILSE:
And all shall fade
the flowers of spring
the world and all the sorrows
at the heart of everything

but still it stays
the butterfly sings
and opens purple summer
with a flutter of its wings

the earth will wave with corn
the grey-fly choir will mourn
and mares will neigh
with stallions that they mate
foals they've borne

and all shall know the wonder
of purple summer...

And yet, I wait
the swallow brings
a song to hard to follow
that no one else can sing

the fences sway
the porches swing
the sky begins to thunder
crickets wander, murmuring

the earth will wave with corn
the grey-fly choir will mourn
and mares will neigh
with stallions that they mate
foals they've borne

and all shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of purple summer

and all shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of purple summer

all shall know the wonder
of purple summer...

spring awakening - the word of your body

WENDLA
Just too unreal, all this
Watching the words fall from my lips

MELCHIOR
Baiting some girl with hypotheses

BOTH
Haven?t you heard the word of your body?

MELCHIOR
Don?t feel a thing, you wish

WENDLA
Grasping at pearls with my fingertips

MELCHIOR
Holding her hand like some little tease

BOTH
Haven?t you heard the word of my wanting?

O, I?m gonna be wounded
O, I?m gonna be your wound
O, I?m gonna bruise you
O, you?re gonna be my bruise

Just too unreal, all this?

WENDLA
Watching his world slip through my fist

MELCHIOR
Playing with her in your fantasies

BOTH
Haven?t you heard the word ? how I want you?

O, I?m gonna be wounded
O, I?m gonna be your wound
O, I?m gonna bruise you
O, you?re gonna be my bruise

spring awakening - there once was a pirate

here once was a pirate
Who put out to sea
His mates all around him
No maiden on his knee
Oh sail for a little
A little little litte
Oh sail for a little
Til she finds him

There once was a maiden
Who wandered the mead
To gather blue violets
Her mama would need
A wail through the willows
All hollow through the willows
She?ll wail through the willows
?Til she finds him

The sea was so violent
The crew went below
They begged him to join them
But he would not go
Oh sail a little little
For just a little little
Oh sail for a little
?Til she finds him

Her heart was so laden
She fell by a tree
Sang of some pirate
Who haunted the sea
A wail through the willows
All hollow through the willows
She?ll wail through the willows
?Til she finds him

A wail through the willows
(sail for a little)
All hollow through the willows
(the willow willows)
She?ll wail through the willows
(sail for a little)
?Til she finds him

He?ll sail for a little
A little little litte
He?ll sail for a little
?Til she finds him

He?ll sail for a little ?til she finds him

spring awakening - those you ve known

MORITZ
Those you?ve known
And lost, still walk behind you
All alone
They linger till they find you

Without them
The world grows dark around you
And nothing is the same until you know that they have found you

WENDLA
Those you?ve pained
May carry that still with them
All the same
They whisper: ?All forgiven.?

Still your heart says
The shadows bring the starlight
And everything you?ve ever been is still there in the dark night

BOTH
When the northern wind blows
The sorrows your heart holds
There are those who still know ?
They?re still home
We?re still home

MELCHIOR (Sung in Counterpart)
Thought you know
You?ve left them far behind
You walk on by yourself, and not with them ?

Still you know
They will fill your heart and mind
When they say there?s a way through this

MELCHIOR (Sung Alone)
Those you?ve known
And lost, still walk behind you
All alone
Their song still seems to find you

They call you
As if you knew their longing ?
They whistle through the lonely wind, the long blue shadows falling

All alone
But still I hear their yearning
Through the dark, the moon, alone there, burning

The stars too
They tell of spring returning ?
And summer with another wind that no one yet has known

They call me ?
Through all things ?
Night?s falling
But somehow I go on

You watch me
Just watch me ?
I?m calling
From longing

WENDLA & MORITZ
When the northern wind blows
The sorrows your heart?s known ?
I believe?

MELCHIOR (Sung in Counterpart)
Still you known
There?s so much more to find ?
Another dream, another love you?ll hold

Still you know
To trust your own true mind
On your way ? you are not alone
There are those who still know

MELCHIOR (Sung Alone)
Now they?ll walk on my arm through the distant night
And I won?t let them stray from my heart
Through the wind, through the dark, through the winter light
I will read all their dreams to the stars

I?ll walk with them now
I?ll call on their names
I?ll see their thoughts are known

Not gone ?
Not gone ?
They walk with my heart ?
I?ll never let them go

I?ll never let them go
I?ll never let them go
You watch me
Just watch me
I?m calling
I?m calling ?
And one day all will know

spring awakening
