The Lyrics:

Going through the motion

Buffy
Every single night the same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight
Still, I always feel the strangest 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'll find this fight
Just doesn't mean a thing

Demon
She ain't got that swing

Buffy
Thanks for noticing

3 demons

She does pretty well with fiends from hell
But lately, we can tell
that she's just
Going through the motions
Faking it somehow
She's not even half the girl she...ow

Buffy
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavour

Guy tied to tree
How can I repay you?

Buffy
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

I've got a Theory

Giles
I've got a theory
That it's a demon
A dancing demon
No, something isn't right there.

Willow
I?ve got a theory
Some kid is dreaming
And we're all stuck inside
His wacky Broadway nightmare

Xander

I?ve got a theory we should work this out

All
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
[crickets chirp]

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
...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 tricks
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

Giles
What can't we face?

All
If we're together?

Giles
What's in this place

All
That we can't weather?
We're together
There's nothing we can't face

Anya
Except for bunnies

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 made 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 com-plete
You make me com-plete
You make me com-plete
You make me

I?ll Never Tell

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

Xander and Anya
'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 pleases

Anya
His penis got diseases
From a chumash tribe

Xander and Anya
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
Xander and Anya
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!

Xander
You know 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

Xander
I know there'll come the day
I'll want to run and hide
I lied I said it's easy
I?ve tried But there's these fears
I can't quell
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
Am I crazy? Am I dreamin'?

Xander
Am I marrying A demon?

Xander and Anya
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

Xander and Anya
I?ll never Tell

Traffic Song

Lady on Street
I've being 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
going bare

Rest in Peace

Spike
I died So many years ago
You can make me feel
Like it isn't so
And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know mmm-mmm
You're scared Ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal Whisper in a dead man's ear
It 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 6-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
You just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave Till you do,
I'm telling you Stop visiting my grave
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
Im a hole 6-foot deep I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release Let me rest in peace
Why won't you Let me rest in peace?

Sweets Song

Sweet
Why'd you run away?
Don't you like my style?
Ah...
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 do you say
why don't we dance a while?
I?m the how to 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

Dawn
So your a good demon bringin in the fun?

Standing In Your Way Giles

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 here
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 here
Your stalwart, standing fast
But I'm
Standing in the way
I?m just standing
In the way

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

Tara and Giles:
Believe me,
I don't wanna go
And it'll grieve me
'Cause I love you so
We both know
Wish I could
Say the right words
Wish I could trust to lead you
Through this land
That it was just this once
But I must do
What I must...
Wish I could
Play the father
And take you by the hand

Tara & Giles
Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay here
Wish I could stay here
Wish I could stay

Come on then, sing

Henchman
My master has the slayer's sister
hostage at the bronze
because she summoned him
and at midnight
he's going to take her to the underworld
to be his queen

What does he want?

Walk Through The Fire

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
Buffy?s laughing, I've no doubt
I hope she fries,
I'm free if that bitch dies
I better help her out
'Cause she is
Drawn to the fire
Some people...
She will never learn

Spike and Sweet
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

All
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?

Buffy
But while I froze,
Not one among them knows
And never can be told

Anya
She came from the grave much graver

Giles
One by one, they come to me

Spike
First, he?ll kill her, then I?ll save her

Tara
Everything is turning out so dark

Buffy
Going through the motions

Spike
No, I?ll save her, then I?ll kill her

Willow
I think this guys' mostly fear

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

Xander
It's what they have inside

Sweet
She will come

Buffy
These endless days Are finally ending in a blaze

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
And let it burn!

Life's a Show

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 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

[Giles: She needs back-up. Anya, Tara...] Don't give me songs
Give me something to sing about
ah ah ah
ah ah ah
I need something to sing about
ah ah ah
ah ah ah

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 then
Knowing that
It ends
Well, that
Depends

On if they let you go
on if they know enough to know
That when you bow
You leave the cloud

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
Only can heal
By living
Have to go on living
So one of us is living

Return to top?

Sweet Finally

Big smiles, everyone.
You beat the bad guy.
What a lot of fun
You guys have been real swell
Heh heh.
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

Where Do We Go From Here?

Dawn:
Where do we go from here?

All
Where do we go from here?

Giles
The battle's done,
And we kind of won

All
So we sound our victory cheer
Where do we go from here?
Why is the path unclear?
When we know home is near
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?

Spike
Heh. Bugger this.

All
When do the trumpets cheer?
The curtains close
On a kiss god knows
When we can tell the end is near

Buffy
I touch the fire, and it freezes me

Spike
I died

Buffy
I look into it...

Spike
So many years ago

Buffy
And it's black
This isn't real

Spike
You can make me...

Buffy
But I just wanna feel
Feel

All
where do we
Go from here?
