Coney Island (Reprise) Lyrics by Harvey Fierstein

A Catered Affair (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

0

[Winston]
We stumble 'round this complicated world
A scary place
Where no one has the perfect book of rules
For getting through it
So afraid we've got it wrong
And somehow sure we're in it all alone
Even as we're walking hand in hand
[Company]
Think about a moment in your life
A time when you were feeling like a frightened little kid
On a roller coaster
From the start, you closed your eyes
And at the end, you looked all lost and sad
You paid your money
Took the ride
But missed the view
(The rest of the company retreats from the stage, leaving Winston alone with his suitcase, center stage)
[Winston]
You're halfway through another ride
Don't wait until the scary feeling's passed
Just take a breath
And open up your eyes
Right
Now
(Winston picks up the suitcase and exits.)
