Kurt Deutsch - Made of Stone lyrics

[CONGREGATION, spoken] Quasimodo you must try to free yourself! The girl needs your help! [QUASIMODO, spoken] Quiet! Go away [CONGREGATION, spoken] You're the only one who can save her now [QUASIMODO, spoken] You know what happens when I try to help. I only make things worse [CONGREGATION, spoken] You don't believe that! [QUASIMODO] How do you know what I believe What do you know of me What do you know of all the things I feel You're only made of stone Who is that you see Instead of seeing what I am for real This twisted flesh and bone [CONGREGATION] Quasimodo, it wasn't your fault! [QUASIMODO] You're a liar! With ev'ry new excuse you try out You only make me want to cry out "Would that I were made of stone like you" [CONGREGATION, spoken] You don't mean that! Just take some time to— [QUASIMODO] You give such good advice So why has not one single word you've said Been any help at all [CONGREGATION, spoken] Quasimodo... [QUASIMODO] And you who sound so nice The more your dreams and fancies fill my head The farther that I fall Shut my brain down If I were senseless, I'd prefer it Another gargoyle on this turret Spitting rain down to the stones below I've wasted my faith believing in saints of plaster But the only one worth believing in was my master He's the one who never lied He told me it was cruel outside He told me how I had to hide His words were cold as stone But they were true Not like you Take all the dreams you've sown Take all your lies And leave me alone [CONGREGATION] All right, Quasimodo We'll leave you alone All right, Quasimodo We'll trouble you no longer You're right, Quasimodo We're only made of stone We just thought that you were Made of something Stronger [QUASIMODO] And now I'm on my own Never again to wonder what's out there Let it remain unknown And my one human eye Will ever more be dry Until the day I die As if I were made of stone
