john kander - where you are lyrics

Loading...

[molina]
when you feel you’ve gone to h-ll in a handbasket
and the world in which you dwell’s no paradise

[aurora]
i’ve some counsel i can give, you need not ask it
i’m so very glad to share this good advice

you’ve got to learn how not to be
where you are
the more you face reality
the more you scar
so close your eyes and you’ll become
a movie star
why must you stay
where you are?

you have to learn how not to see
what you’ve seen
the slice of h-ll you call your life
is harsh and mean
so why not lie beside me
on a movie screen?
why must you see
what you’ve seen?

and if you find that you land in jail
a little fantasy will not fail
it’s just as simple as a-b-c
come up here
play with me
play with me

you’ve got to learn how not to do
what you’ve done
the pistol shot can’t k!ll if you
unload the gun
so build a palace where you’re the shah
and we’ll embrace in that shangri-la
if you run away
some matinee
from where you are

[aurora/(aurora’s men)]
you’ve got to learn how (you’ve got to learn how)
not to be (not to be)
where you are (where you are)
the more you face (the more you face)
reality (reality)
the more you scar (the more you scar)
so close your eyes (so close your eyes)
and you’ll become (and you’ll become)

[all]
a movie star!

[aurora/(aurora’s men)]
why must you stay (must you stay)

[all]
where you are?

[aurora]
so why not lie beside me
on a movie screen?
why must you see
what you’ve seen?

[all]
and if you find that you land in jail
a little fantasy will not fail
it’s just as simple as a-b-c

[aurora]
come up here
play with me
play with me

[all]
you’ve got to learn how not to do
what you’ve done
the pistol shot can’t k!ll if you
unload the gun

[aurora]
so build a palace where you’re the shah
and we’ll embrace in that shangri-la
if you run away
some matinee
from where you are

[all]
and if you find that you land in jail
a little fantasy will not fail
it’s just as simple as a-b-c

[aurora/(aurora’s men)]
come up here (come up here)
play with me (play with me)

[aurora]
turn off the lights and turn on your mind
and i can promise you you will find
you will like my plan
my sweetest fan
my leading man
anywhere you are
