[tadeusz, spoken]
where were you? with her?

[tamara, spoken]
it’s been a terrible night. can we fight about this later?

[tadeusz, spoken]
i will not be dangled like a plaything. i am your husband!

[tamara, spoken]
alright. we’ll do this now

[tadeusz, spoken]
it’s her or me

[tamara, spoken]
is that the best you’ve got? a polite ultimatum?

(sung)
handsome men never learn to fight
always had everything handed to you
not me
everything i have i grabbed with these two hands

you’ve never fought for anything, but i have
i got you!
belly swelling as i walked down the aisle
biggеst risk a girl can take
but i knew you’d marry me
in a drеss with a train forty feet long
i knew you’d marry me

[tadeusz, spoken]
my father was not happy

[tamara, spoken]
but we were! remember

(sung)
fight for this now
don’t let go
don’t walk away when we’re so close
this is all we ever wanted

[tadeusz, spoken]
what you want. you don’t know what i want!

[tamara]
fight for this now

[tadeusz]
a land where i belong
[tamara]
don’t let go

[tadeusz]
home

[tamara]
don’t lose your nerve, we’re getting so close

[tadeusz]
dignity

[tamara]
to all we ever wanted

[tadeusz]
this is nothing that i wanted

[tamara, spoken]
do you know what i’ve done for you?
you used to ask
did you just stop wondering the price i paid for your freedom?

[tadeusz, spoken]
tamara?
[tamara, spoken]
you know how i got you out?

[tadeusz, spoken]
no!

[tamara]
i let them do anything to me
whatever they wanted
and you know what?
it didn’t touch me
i walked out of there clean

[tadeusz, spoken]
tamara, god, no!

[tamara]
because i had you!
because i loved you
fight for this now

[tadeusz]
no!

[tamara]
come on!
don’t let go
fight for this now
you must know
you are all i ever wanted

[tadeusz]
no!

[tamara]
fight for this now!

[tadeusz]
you should have left me there to die

[tamara]
i won’t let you go

[tadeusz]
god, i can’t

[marinetti]
the chrome shines like a woman’s hair
in the light
feel the beauty of speed
the machine, make it clean

the beauty of speed
the machine, the future
is barreling down on us
feel the rush

[tamara, spoken]
there you are, thank god

[rafaela, spoken]
you think you know me because you painted my picture a time or two

[tamara, spoken]
seven

[rafaela, spoken]
all that looking. did you ever see me?

[tamara, spoken]
when i couldn’t find you, i thought i’d go crazy

[rafaela, spoken]
i am tired of being something you hide

[tamara, spoken]
you know it’s too dangerous. someday maybe people will understand

[rafaela, spoken]
when?

[tamara, spoken]
when the world is not in flames

[rafaela, spoken]
when will that be?

[tamara, spoken]
don’t you see what’s happening in this country? across europe? everywhere! money is the only thing that can protect you. without money you get swept away, you’re nothing!

[rafaela, spoken]
oh. so i’m nothing?

(sung)
what was i to you?

[tamara, spoken]
my love

[rafaela]
another bauble you had to have?

[tamara, spoken]
my jewel!

[rafaela]
a jewel?
something you could buy to show the world?

[tamara]
your eyes so cold
how can they be?
like the black sea
so cold your heart stops before drowning

[rafaela]
men buy, they rent me

[tamara]
i’ll buy you anything you want

[rafaela]
i’m an hour or two they’ve spent

[tamara]
shoes, dress, an apartment

[rafaela]
a week at the beach sometimes if they please

[both]
a month at the chateau

[rafaela]
while the wife is overseas

[tamara]
please

[rafaela]
i know what men say

[tamara]
stay with me please

[rafaela]
i know what you believe

[tamara]
rafaela!

[rafaela]
you stole my soul
i can’t let go
give back my life
give back my heart
give back the time i didn’t know you

give back my life
give back my heart

[tamara]
you think i don’t love you

[rafaela]
give back my life

[tamara]
it’s torture to love you

[rafaela]
give back my heart
give back the time i didn’t know you

[tamara (overlapping)]
it’s torture to let you go
though you burn me, no
i can’t let you go
i can’t let you go

[rafaela (overlapping)]
give back my life
give back my heart

leave him!
be with me
in the light, no more lies

leave him
love me

there’s no one watching
it’s just the two of us

[tamara, spoken]
he is my name. my family. he is who i am

[rafaela]
you stole my soul
i can’t let go

[tamara, spoken]
rafaela, i can’t

[rafaela]
i can’t let go

(overlapping)
give back my life
give back my heart
give back the time i didn’t know you
give back my life
give back my heart
give back my life
give back my heart
give back the time i didn’t know you
give back my life
give back my heart

[tamara (overlapping)]
fight for this now
you are all i ever wanted
fight for this now
you are all i ever wanted

[tadeusz (overlapping)]
no
this is nothing that i wanted
no!
this is nothing that i wanted

[marinetti (overlapping)]
the beauty of speed
the machine, the future
is barreling down on us
feel the rush

feel the beauty of speed
the machine, the future
is careening like a drunken thing
hear it sing

feel the rush of the wind
while the pistons push
hear the whoosh of the engines
that pass you by

see the sky filling up
with machines, each silver plane
a machine

[rafaela, spoken]
coward. run back to your husband

[tamara, spoken]
rafaela, please

[rafaela, spoken]
you will regret this til your dying breath

[tamara, spoken]
tadeusz. she’s gone. it’s just us

[tadeusz, spoken]
it’s too late. i’m sorry, mouse

[ensemble]
ooh, ooh
ooh, ooh
our time, our time
our time, our time

[marinetti]
the glory of metal that flies on by
the beauty of combustion, a knife that gleams
while it severs the past from us
feel the rush, feel the freedom
of now, made clean, make it speed
make it metal, the future is now
it’s a mighty gleaming thing
cutting through the blue sky, [?]
now!
