1 Going Through The Motions -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 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'find this fight just

Doesn't mean a thing

Vampire: She ain't got that swing

Thanks for noticing

Demon and vamps: 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

Will I stay this way forever?

Sleepwalk through my life's endeavour

Victim: How can I repay -

- Whatever

I don't want to be

Going through the motions

Losing all my drive

I can't even see If this is really me

And I just wanna be

Alive

2 - I've Got A Theory/Bunnies/If We're Together - The Scoobies

Giles: I've got a theory

That it's 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 crazy 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 were persecuted wicca good and love the earth and women power and

I'll be over here

Anya: I've got a theory

It could be bunnies

Tara: I've got a -

Anya: Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes

They got them hoppy legs and twitchy 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

Giles/Willow: 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?

All: What can't we do if we get in it?

We're working through it every minute

We have to try

We'll pay the price

It's do or die

Buffy: Hey, I've died twice

All: What can't we face

If we're together? (Giles: What can't we face?)

What's in this place

That we can't weather? (Giles: If we're together)

There's nothing we can't face

Anya: Except for bunnies....

3 - Under Your Spell - Tara

I lived my life in shadow

Never the sun on my 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 charm 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

Pulled to you so helplessly

I break with every swell

Lost in ecstasy

Spread beneath my willow tree

You make me complete

4 - I'll Never Tell - Xander and Anya

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

But I'm out of the biz

The name I 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

Both: '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

Both: The vibe

Gets 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

Both: 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 is my verse, hello?

She -

Anya: Look at me! I'm dancin' crazy!

Both: You know

Xander: You're quite the charmer

Anya: My knight in armour

Xander: You're the cutest of the scoobies

With your lips as red as rubies

And your firm yet supple - tight embrace!

Anya: He's swell

Xander: She's sweller

Anya: He'll always be my feller

Xander: That's why I'll never tell her

that I'm petrified

Anya: I've read this tale

There's wedding then betrayal

I know that come the day I'll

Want to run and hide

Both: 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 worn and wrinkly

That I look like David Brinkley

Xander: Am I crazy?

Anya: Am I dreamin'?

Xander: Am I marrying a demon?

Both: We could really raise the beam in

Makin' 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

Both: I'll never tell

5 - The Parking Ticket - Marti Noxon

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 underwer.

6 - Rest In Peace - Spike

I died

So many years ago

And you can make 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've got a willing slave

You just love to play the thought

That you might misbehave

But till 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 guessed

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 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

Why won't you

Let me rest in peace?

7- Dawn's Lament - Dawn

Does anybody even notice?

Does anybody even care?

8 - What You Feel - Sweet

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 the 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 we're partying - that's what it's all about

Cause I know what you feel, girl

I know just what you feel, girl

All these 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 this 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

And I make it real, girl

Dawn: What I mean

I'm fifteen

So this queen thing's illegal?

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

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...

Now we're partying

That's what it's all about

9- Standing - Giles

You're not ready for the world outside

You keep pretending but you just can't hide

I know I said that 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 could say the right words

To 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 the 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 let you rest at last

Wish I could slay your demons

But now that time has passed

Wish I could stay

Your stalwart, standing fast

But I'm standing in the way

I'm just standing in the way

10 - Under Your Spell/Standing - Reprise - Giles and Tara

Tara: I'm under your spell

God, how can this be?

Playing with my memory

You know I've been through hell

Willow, don't you see?

There'll be nothing left of me

You made me believe

Giles: Believe meI don't wanna go

Both: And it'll grieve me 'cause I love you so

But we both know

Giles: Wish I could say

Tara: Wish I could trust

Giles: The right words to lead you through this land

Tara: That it was just this once but I must do what I must

Giles: Wish I could play

Tara: I can't adjust

Giles: The father and take you

Tara: To this disgust

Giles: By the hand

Tara: We're done and I just

Both: Wish I could stay

Wish I could stay

Wish I could

Stay

11 - Walk Through The Fire - All

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 run

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 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: Will 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

Scoobies: We'll see it through

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: 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 is mostly filler

Giles: What's it going to take to strike a spark?

Buffy: These endless days

Are finally ending in a blaze

Sweet: She will come to me

All: 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!

12 - Something To Sing About - Buffy & Spike

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 there's life there's hope

Every day'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

Give me something to sing about

I need 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

Till they pulled me out of 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

Have to go on living

So one of us is living

13 - What You Feel - Repirse

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 been concealing

Say you're happy now -

Once more with feeling

Now I gotta run

See you all in hell

14 - Where Do We Go From Here - All

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

Tara/Giles: So we sound our victory cheer

Where do we go from here?

Xander/Anya: Why is the path unclear?

When we know home is near

All: Understand we'll go hand in hand

But we'll walk alone in fear

Giles: Tell me

All: 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

15 - Coda - Buffy & Spike

Buffy: I touch the fire, and it freezes me

I look into it and it's black

This isn't real, but I just wanna feel

Spike: I died so many years from now

But you can make me feel

All: Where do we go from here?
