Eva, Beware of the City Lyrics by Max von Essen, Elena Roger

Evita (New Broadway Cast Recording)

0

[MAGALDI]
Eva, beware of the city
It's hungry and cold
Can't be controlled
It is mad
Those who are fools are swallowed up whole
And those who are not
Become what they should not become
Changed, in short they go bad
[EVA]
Bad is good for me
I'm bored, so clean and so ignored
I've only been predictable, respectable
Birds fly out of here
So why, oh why, oh why the hell can't I?
I only want variety, notoriety
I wanna be a part of B.A.​ 
Buenos Aires, big apple
I wanna be a part of B.A.​ 
Buenos Aires, big apple
[FRIENDS]
She wants to be a part of B.A.​ 
Buenos Aires, big apple
[MAGALDI]
Five years from now, I shall come back
And finally say, "You have your way, come to town"
But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eye
The magical city, a younger girl's city
A fantasy long since put down
[EVA]
All you've done to me—
Was that a young girl's fantasy?
I played your city games alright, didn't I?
I already know what cooks
How the dirty city feels and looks
I tasted it last night, didn't I?
I'm gonna be a part of B.A.​ 
Buenos Aires, big apple
I'm gonna be a part of B.A.​ 
Buenos Aires, big apple
[FRIENDS]
She's gonna be a part of B.A.​ 
Buenos Aires, big apple
[MAGALDI]
Eva, beware your ambition
It's hungry and cold
Can't be controlled
Will run wild
This in a man is a danger enough
But you are a woman
Not even a woman
Not very much more than a child
And whatever you say
I'll not steal you away
