Waltz (Endless Night) Lyrics by The View UpStairs Original Off-Broadway Cast

The View UpStairs

2017

[PATRICK]
Once when I was young
It sounds cliché
I dreamed I'd buy a rocket ship
And soar up to the stars someday
Fly to galaxies far away
I grew up in a town – small
About three hours from here
A place where people look and think the same
And astronauts do not appear... okay!
I'll find a new game to play
Terror and bliss
On those lazy afternoons when I learned how to kiss
[PATRICK & CAST]
And he made me understand
What my body was for
[PATRICK]
"And we'll have lots of fun," he said
"But you can't tell anyone."
Our game came to an end
His father sent him away
With a plan:
"Fry the fairy out of him and he'll
Come back a man, more or less."
The doctor guaranteed success...
But to everyone's surprise
Tom never spoke again – he just stares at the wall
When our family gathers 'round on holidays
They all pretend – it's okay
"He's better off this way."
But I'd rather die
Than end up like him
Dull and dead in the eye
[PATRICK & CAST]
And it was only a matter of time
Before they'd try to fix me the same way
[PATRICK]
Packed up my life in one bag
And I haven't been back
Being a little too free
Is not always glamorous
But you learn how to survive
Life presses on, you create little stories
To keep your heart alive
But why get too hung up on the past
When you can't hit rewind?
Hope when I look back I can smile
And say it was worth it all to find
A love of my own someday
That can't be taken away
And if one day I have the money
A rocket ship's not what I'll buy
'Cause I know better now
There's no more stars left in the sky
Just endless night
