Wicked - Dancing Through Life lyrics

Fiyero: The trouble with schools is They always try to teach the wrong lesson Believe me, I've been kicked out Of enough of them to know They want you to become less callow Less shallow But I say: "Why invite stress in?" Stop studying strife And learn to live "the unexamined life" Dancing through life Skimming the surface Gliding where turf is smooth Life's more painless For the brainless Why think too hard? When it's so soothing Dancing through life No need to tough it When you can sluff it off as I do Nothing matters But knowing nothing matters Its just life So keep dancing through... Dancing through life Swaying and sweeping And always keeping cool Life is fraught less When you're thoughtless Those who don't try Never look foolish Dancing through life Mindless and careless Make sure your where less Trouble in life Woes are fleeting Blows are glancing When you're dancing Through life... Fiyero: So, what's the most swa*kified place in town? Galinda: That would be the Ozdust Ballroom Fiyero: Sounds perfect! Lets go down to the Ozdust Ballroom We'll meet their later tonight We can dance till it's light Find the prettiest girl... Give 'er a whirl Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom Come on, follow me You'll be happy to be there... All: Dancing through life Down at the Ozdust... Fiyero: If only because dust is what we come to... All: Nothing matters But knowing nothing matters Its just life!!! Fiyero: So keep dancing through... Boq: Miss Galinda, I hope you'll save at least one Dance for me. I'll be right there. Waiting all night. Galinda: Oh, that's so kind. But you know what would Be even kinder? See that trigic'ly beautiful girl The one in the chair It seems so unfair We should go on a spree And not she Gee! I know someone would be my hero If that someone were To go invite her!!! Boq: Well, maybe I could invite her! Galinda: Oh, Boq, really? You would do that for me!? Boq: I would do anything for you, miss Galinda Galinda: So... Fiyero: So I'll be picking you up around eight? Galinda: After all, Now that we've met one another... Fiyero and Galinda: Its clear, we deserve each other Galinda: You're perfect... Fiyero: You're perfect... Both: So we're perfect together Born to be forever... Dancing through life... Nessarose: Oh, Elphaba, isn't it wonderful? Fin'lly, for this one night I'm about to have a fun night With this munchkin boy Galinda found for me And I only wish there were Something I could do for her To repay her Elphaba, see? We deserve each other And Galinda helped it come true We deserve each other Me and Boq... Elphaba, please, try to understand... Elphaba: I do... Elphaba: Galinda, Nessa and I were talking about you Just now. Galinda: And I was just talking about you! I thought you Might want to wear this hat to the party tonight! It's really, uh, sharp, don't you think? You know black is this years pink You deserve each other This hat and you You're both so smart You deserve each other So here, out of the goodness of my Heart... Boq: Listen, Nessa Nessarose: Yes? Boq: Uh, Nessa I've got something to confess, a Reason why, well... Why I asked you here tonight Now I know it isn't fair... Nessarose: Oh, Boq, I know why. Boq: You do? Nessarose: It's because I'm in this chair And you felt sorry for me Well, isn't that right? Boq: No! No! It's because... Because... Because you are so beautiful! Nessarose: Oh, Boq, I think you're wonderful! And we deserve each other Don't you see, this is our chance? We deserve each other Don't we, Boq? Boq: You know what? Let's dance... Nessarose: What? Boq: Let's dance! All: Dancing through life Down at the Ozdust If only because Dust Is what we come to And the strange thing: Your life could end up changing While your dancing Through!
