entering grey gardens lyrics
[ensemble tenor (gould)]
when edges hide the world away

[edith, spoken]
edie!

[ensemble tenor]
and shadows blur the time of day

[edith, spoken]
edie!

[edie, spoken]
i’m feeding the cats!

[ensemble tenor]
when cans of cat food are pâté

[ensemble]
you’re entering grey gardens

[edith, spoken]
liver pâté, you have to make it!
i can’t make it!

[edie, spoken]
when am i gonna get outta here?
[ensemble soprano (young edie)]
the musty smell of feline fur

[ensemble bass (major)]
the dusty marks where pictures were

[ensemble mezzo & alto (jackie & lee)]
the vermin in the furniture

[ensemble]
you’re entering grеy gardens

[edith, spoken]
edie!

[ensemble high tenor (kennedy)]
the cеiling sags
the stairway creaks

[ensemble baritone (brooks)]
the faucet drips
the toilet leaks

[ensemble tenor]
the crumbling walls
[ensemble bass]
the broken clocks

[ensemble]
it’s like a twenty eight room litter box

[ensemble tenor]
one hundred fifty windowsills
to catch a wink or two

[ensemble]
and that’s grey gardens from a cat’s eye view

[edith, spoken]
i’ll die if i don’t eat!

[edie, spoken]
i found your pâté, mother darling
i think it’s pâté
the label, it’s faded
is it pâté or is it giblets for the cats?

[ensemble]
the fog rolls in, and there it stays
it suffocates the house in haze
from room to room, it drifts about
and n0body except a cat gets out
[ensemble tenor]
a haven from a callous world
with no one sayin’ “shoo”

[ensemble]
and that’s grey gardens from a cat’s eye view

[edie, spoken]
i may die with this diet, i don’t like it at all

[edith, spoken]
ever since you started trying to lose weight you’ve been impossible

[edie, spoken]
i’m not gaining it back

[edith, spoken]
starve yourself, not me!

[edie, spoken]
here’s your pâté, mother darling
