Song: Overture/ Going Through The Motions
Written by: Joss
Whedon
Performed by: Buffy, Demon, Vampire and Victim
Lyrics:
Buffy: Every single night,
The same arrangement,
I
go out and fight the fight,
Still I always feel,
This strange
estrangement,
Nothing here is real,
Nothing here is right,
I’ve been
making shows of trading blows,
Just hoping no one knows,
That I’ve been
going,
Going through the motions,
Walking through the part,
Nothing
seems to penetrate my heart,
I was always brave,
And kind of righteous,
Now I find I’m wavering,
Crawl out of your grave,
You’ll find this
fight just,
Doesn’t mean a thing,
Vampire: She ain’t got that
swing,
Buffy: Thanks for noticing,
Demon and Vampires: She
does pretty well with fiends from hell,
But lately we can tell,
That
she’s just going through the motions,
Faking it somehow,
Demon:
She’s not even half the girl she - ow…..,
Buffy: Will I stay this way
forever,
Sleepwalk through my life’s endeavor,
Victim: How can I
repay…,
Buffy:….Whatever,
I don’t want be,
Going through the
motions,
Losing all my drive,
I can’t even see,
If this is really
me,
And I just want to be,
Alive.
Song: I’ve Got a Theory/Bunnies/ If We’re Together
Written by:
Joss Whedon
Performed by: Giles, Willow, Xander, Anya, Tara and Buffy
Lyrics:
Giles I’ve got a theory,
That’s it a demon,
A
dancing demon - nyehh,
something isn’t right there,
Willow: I’ve
got a theory,
Some kid is dreamin’,
And we’re all stuck inside his
whacky Broadway nightmare,
Xander: I’ve got a theory we should work
this out,
Willow/Anya/Tara: It’s getting eerie,
What’s this
cheery singing all about,
Xander: It could be witches,
Some evil
witches,
Which is ridiculous ‘cause witches they persecuted wicca good and
love the earth and woman power and I’ll be over here,
Anya: I’ve got
a theory,
It could bunnies,
Tara: I’ve got a…,
Anya:
Bunnies aren’t just cute like everybody supposes,
They’ve got them hoppy
legs and twitching little noses,
And what’s with all the carrots,
What
do they need such good eyesight for anyway….,
Bunnies,
Bunnies,
It
must be bunnies,
Or maybe midgets,
Willow: I’ve got a theory we
should work this fast,
Willow/Giles: Because it clearly could get
serious before it’s passed,
Buffy: I’ve got a theory,
It doesn’t
matter,
What can’t we face if we’re together,
What’s in this place that
we can’t weather,
Apocalypse,
We’ve all been there,
The same old
trips,
Why should we care,
Group: What can’t we do if we get in
it,
We’ll work it through within a minute,
We have to try,
We’ll pay
the price,
It’s do or die,
Buffy: Hey I’ve died twice,
Group: What can’t we face if we’re together,
Giles: What
can’t we face….,
Group: What’s in this place that we can’t weather,
Giles: …..if we’re together,
Group: There’s nothing we
can’t ace,
Anya: Except for bunnies…….

Song: Under Your Spell
Written by: Joss Whedon
Performed by: Tara
Lyrics:
I lived my live in shadow,
Never the sun on the face,
It
didn’t seem so sad though,
I figured that was my place,
Now I’m bathed
in light,
Something just isn’t right,
I’m under your spell,
How else
could it be,
Anyone would notice me,
It’s magic I can tell,
How you
set me free,
Brought me out so easily,
I saw a world enchanted,
Spirits and charms in the air,
I always took for granted,
I was the
only one there,
But your power shone,
Brighter than any I’ve known,
I’m under your spell,
Nothing I can do,
You just took my soul with
you,
You worked your charms so well,
Finally I knew,
Everything I
dreamed was true,
You make me believe,
The moon to the tide,
I can
feel you inside,
I’m under your spell,
Surging like the sea,
Wanting
you so helplessly,
I break with every swell,
Lost in ecstasy,
Spread
beneath my willow tree,
You make me complete,
You make me complete,
You make complete.
Song: I’ll Never Tell
Written by: Joss Whedon
Performed
by: Anya and Xander
Lyrics:
Anya: This is the man that I plan to entangle,
Isn’t he
fine,
My claim to fame was to maim,
And to mangle - vengeance was mine,
Now I’m out of the biz,
The name I’ve made I’ll trade for his,
The
only trouble is,
I’ll never tell,
Xander: She is the one,
She’s such wonderful fun,
Such passion and grace,
Warm in the night
when I’m right in her tight embrace,
Tight embrace,
I’ll never let her
go,
The love we’ve known can only grow,
There’s just one thing that -
no,
I’ll never tell,
Anya/Xander: ‘Cause there’s nothing to tell,
Anya: He snores,
Xander: She wheezes,
Anya: Say
“housework” and he freezes,
Xander: She eats these skeezy cheeses,
That I can’t describe,
Anya: I talk,
He breezes
Xander: She doesn’t know what “please” is,
Anya: His penis got
diseases,
From a Chumash tribe,
Anya/Xander: The vibe,
Get’s
kind of scary,
Xander: Like she thinks I’m ordinary,
Anya:
Like it’s all just temporary,
Xander: Like her toes are kind of
hairy,
Anya/Xander: But it’s all very well,
‘Cause God knows I’ll
never tell,
Anya: When things get rough,
He just hides behind his
Buffy,
Now look - he’s getting huffy,
‘Cause he knows that I know,
Xander: She clings,
She’s needy,
She’s also really greedy,
She never -,
Anya: - His eyes are beady!,
Xander: This
my verse,
hello!,
She -,
Anya: Look at me!,
I’m dancin’
crazy!,
Anya/Xander: You know,
Xander: You’re quite the
charmer,
Anya: My knight in armor,
Xander: You’re the
cutest of the scoobies,
With your lips as red as rubies,
And you firm
yet supple - tight embrace,
Anya: He’s swell,
Xander:
She’s sweller,
Anya: He’ll always be my fella,
Xander:
That’s why I’ll never tell her,
That I’m petrified,
Anya: I’ve
read this tale,
There’s wedding a betrayal,
I know that come the day
I’ll want to run and hide,
Anya/Xander: I lied,
I said it’s easy,
I’ve tried,
But there’s these fears I can’t quell,
Xander: Is
she looking for a pot of gold,
Anya: Will I look good when I’ve
gotten old,
Xander: Will our lives become too stressful,
If I’m
never that successful,
Anya: When I get so old and wrinkly,
That
I look like David Brinkley,
Xander: Am I crazy,
Anya: Am I
dreamin’,
Xander: Am I marrying a demon,
Anya/Xander: We
could really raise the beam in making marriage a hell,
SO thank God I’ll
never tell,
I swear that I’ll never tell,
Xander: My lips are
sealed,
Anya: I take the fifth,
Xander: Nothing to see,
Move it along,
Anya/Xander: I’ll never tell.
Song: Parking Ticket

Performed
by: Young Woman
Lyrics:
I’ve been having a bad bad day,
Come on won’t you put that
pad away,
I’m asking you please no,
It isn’t right,
It isn’t fair,
There was no parking anywhere,
I think that hydrant wasn’t there,
Why can’t you let it go,
I think I’ve paid more than my share,
I’m
just a poor girl don’t you care,
Hey I’m not wearing underwear.
Song: Rest In Peace
Written by: Joss Whedon
Performed
by: Spike
Lyrics:
I died,
So many years ago,
And you can me feel,
Like
it isn’t so,
But why you come to be with me,
I think I finally know,
You’re scared,
Ashamed of what you feel,
And you can’t tell the ones
you love,
You know they couldn’t deal,
But whisper in a dead man’s ear,
That doesn’t make it real,
That’s great,
But I don’t wanna play,
‘Cause being with you touches me,
More than I can say,
And since I’m
only dead to you,
I’m saying stay away,
And let me rest in peace,
Let me rest in peace,
Let me get some sleep,
Let me take my love and
bury it,
In a hole six foot deep,
I can lay my body down,
But I
can’t find my sweet release,
So let me rest in peace,
You know,
You
got a willing slave,
And you just love to play the part,
That you might
misbehave,
But ‘til you do I’m telling you,
Stop visiting my grave,
And let me rest in peace,
I know I should go,
But I follow you like
a man possessed,
There’s a traitor here beneath my breast,
And it hurts
me more than you’ve ever guess,
If my heart could beat,
It would break
my chest,
But I can see you’re unimpressed,
So leave me be and let me
rest in peace,
Let me get some sleep,
Let me take my love an bury it,
In a hole six foot deep,
I can lay my body down,
But I can’t find my
sweet release,
So let me rest in peace,
Why won’t you,
Let me rest
in peace.

Song: What You Feel
Written by: Joss Whedon
Performed
by: Sweet and Dawn
Lyrics:
Why’d you run away,
Don’t you like my style?,
Why don’t
you come and play,
I guarantee a great big smile,
I come from
imagination,
And I’m here strictly by your invocation,
So what’d you
say,
Why don’t we dance a while,
I’m the heart of swing,
I’m the
twist and shout,
When you gotta sing,
When you gotta let it out,
You
call me and I come a-runnin’,
I turn the music on - I bring the fun in,
Now were partying - that’s what it’s all about,
‘Cause I know what you
feel girl,
I know just what you feel girl,
All those melodies,
They
go on too long,
Then that energy,
Starts to come on way too strong,
All those hearts laid open - that must sting,
Plus some customers just
start combusting,
That’s the penalty,
When life is but a song,
You
brought me down and doomed this town,
So when we blow the scene,
Back we
will go to my kingdom below,
And you will be my queen,
‘Cause I know
what you feel girl,
Dawn: No you see,
You and me,
Wouldn’t be
very regal,
Sweet: And I make it real girl,
Dawn: What I
mean,
I fifteen,
So this “queen” thing’s illegal,
Sweet: I
can bring whole cities to ruin,
And still have time to get a soft shoe in,
Dawn: No that’s great,
But I’m late,
And I’d hate to delay
her,
Sweet: Something’s cooking - I’m at the griddle,
I bought
Nero his very first fiddle,
Dawn: She’ll get pissed,
If I’m
missed,
See my sister’s the Slayer,
Sweet: Now we’re partying,
That’s what’s it all about.
Song: Standing
Written by: Joss Whedon
Performed
by: Giles
Lyrics:
You’re not ready for the world outside,
You keep pretending,
But you just can’t hide,
I know I said I’d be standing by your side,
But I….,
Your path’s unbeaten,
And it’s all uphill,
And you can
meet it,
But you never will,
And I’m the reason that you’re standing
still,
But I....,
I wish I would say the right words,
Too lead you
through this land,
Wish I could play the father,
And take you by the
hand,
Wish I could stay,
But now I understand,
I’m standing in your
way,
The cries around you,
You don’t hear at all,
‘Cause you know
I’m here to take that call,
So you just lie there,
When you should be
standing tall,
But I….,
I wish I could lay your arms down,
And you
let you rest at last,
Wish I could slay your demons,
But now that time
has passed,
Wish I could stay,
You stalwart standing fast,
But I’m
standing in the way,
I’m just standing in the way.

Performed by: Giles and Tara
Lyrics:
Tara: I’m under your spell,
God how can this be,
Playing with my memory,
You know I’ve been hell,
Willow don’t you
see,
They’ll be nothing left of me,
You made me believe,
Giles: Believe me I don’t wanna go,
Giles/Tara: And it’ll
grieve me ‘cause I love you so,
But we both know,
Giles: Wish I
could say,
The right words to lead you through this land,
Wish I could
play the father,
And take you by the hand,
Tara: Wish I could
trust,
That it was just this once but I must do what I must,
I can’t
adjust,
To this disgust,
We’re done and I just,
Giles/Tara:
Wish I could stay,
Wish I could stay,
Wish I could stay,
Wish I
could,
Stay…
Song: Walk Through The Fire
Written by: Joss Whedon
Performed by: Buffy, Spike, Sweet, Giles, Xander, Anya, Tara and
Willow
Lyrics:
Buffy: I touch the fire and it freezes me. I look into it
and it’s black,
Why can’t I feel,
My skin should crack and peel,
I
want the fire back,
Now through the smoke she calls to me,
To make my
way across the flame,
To save the day,
Or maybe melt away,
I guess
it’s all the same,
So I will walk through the fire,
‘Cause where else
can I turn,
I will walk through the fire,
And let it -,
Spike: The torch I bear is scorching me,
And Buffy’s laughing
I’ve no doubt,
I hope she fries,
I’m free if that bitch dies,
I’d
better help her out,
Sweet: ‘Cause she is drawn to the fire,
Some
people never learn,
Spike: She will never learn,
Sweet/Spike: And she will walk through the fire,
And let it -,
Giles: Wil this do a thing to change her,
Am I leaving Dawn in
danger,
Is my Slayer too far gone to care,
Xander: What if Buffy
can’t defeat it,
Anya: Beady eyes is right - we’re needed,
Or we
could just sit around and glare,
Group: We’ll see it rhough,
It’s
what we’re always here to do,
So we will walk through the fire,
Buffy: So one by one they turn from me,
I guess my friends can’t
face the cold,
Tara: What can’t we face if we’re together,
Buffy: But why I froze,
Not one among them knows,
And never
can be told,
Sweet: So one by one they come to me,
The distant
redness as their guide,
But what they’ll find,
Ain’t what they have in
mind,
It’s what they have inside,
Anya: She came from the grave
much graver,
Spike: First I’ll kill her then I’ll save her,
Tara: Everything is turning out so dark,
Buffy: Going
through the motions,
Walking through the part,
Spike: No I’ll
save her then I’ll kill her,
Willow: I think this line’s mostly
filler,
Giles: What’s it gonna take to strike a spark,
Buffy: These endless days,
Are finally ending in a blaze,
Sweet: She will come to me,
Buffy/Spike/Group: And we are
caught in the fire,
The point of no return,
So we will walk through the
fire,
And let it burn,
Let it burn,
Let it burn,
Let it
burn.
Song: Something To Sing About
Written by: Joss Whedon
Performed by: Buffy and Spike
Lyrics:
Buffy: Life’s a show and we all play our parts,
And when
the music starts,
We open up our hearts,
It’s all right if some things
come out wrong,
We’ll sing a happy song,
And you can sing along,
Where’s there’s life,
There’s hope,
Everyday’s a gift,
Wishes
can come true,
Whistle while you work,
So hard,
All day,
To be
like other girls,
To fit in in this glittering world,
Don’t give me
songs,
Don’t give me songs,
Give me something to sing about,
Give me
something to sing about. Life’s a song you don’t get to rehearse,
And every
single verse,
Can make it that much worse,
Still my friends don’t know
why I ignore,
The million things or more,
I should be dancing for,
All the joy life sends,
Family and friends,
All the twists and
bends,
Knowing that it ends,
Well that,
Depends,
On if they let
you go,
On if they know enough to know,
That when you’ve bowed,
You
leave the crowd,
There was no pain,
No fear no doubt,
‘Til they
pulled me out heaven,
So that’s my refrain,
I live in hell,
‘Cause
I’ve been expelled from heaven. I think I was in heaven,
So give me
something to sing about,
Please give me something…,
Spike: Life’s
not a song,
Life isn’t bliss,
Life is just this,
It’s living,
You’ll get along,
The pain that you feel,
You only can heal by
living,
You have to go on living,
So one of us is living.

Lyrics:
What a lot of fun,
You guys have been real swell,
And
there’s not a one,
Who can say this ended well,
All those secrets you’ve

Say you’re happy now,
Once more with feeling,
Well
I gotta run,
See you all in hell.

Lyrics:
Dawn: Where do we go from here,
Buffy/Spike:
Where do we go from here,
Giles: The battle’s done and we kind of
won,
Giles/Tara: So we sound our victory cheer,
Where do we go
from here,
Xander/Anya: Why is the path unclear,
When we known
home is near,
Group: Understand we go hand in hand,
But we’ll
walk alone in fear,
Giles: Tell me,
Group: Where do we go
from here,
When does “The End” appear,
When do the trumpets cheer,
The curtains close on a kiss,
God knows,
We can tell the end is
near,
Where do we go from here,
Where do we go from here,
Where do
we go from here.
