"Prologue (The Seven Deadly Sins)"

"Prologue (The Seven Deadly Sins)"

Anna I

So my sister and I left Louisiana
Where the moon on the Mississippi is a-shining ever,
Like you always hear in the songs of dixie.
We look forward to our home-coming?
And the sooner the better.

Anna II

And the sooner the better!

Anna I

It's a month already since we started
For the great big cities where you go to make money.
In seven years our fortune will be made
And then we can go back.

Anna II

In six years would be much nicer.

Anna I

Our mom and dad and both our brothers wait in old Louisiana
And we'll send them all our money as we make it,

For all the money's got to go to build a little house
Down by the Mississippi in Louisiana.
Right, Anna?

Anna II

Yes, Anna.

Anna I

She's the one with the looks, I'm realistic;
She's just a little mad, my head is on straight.
But we're really one divided being
Even though you see two of us
And both of us are Anna,
Together we've but a single past, a single future,
One heart and one savings account,
And we only do what's best for one another.
Right, Anna?

Anna II

Yes, Anna.

"Prussian Blue"

"Prussian Blue"

Walking over the bridge
To l'Eglise Americaine
65 Quai d'Orsay
The river runs by
The sky around la Sainte-Trinite
Cerulean blue and scarlet lay

Can I make (get, see, bear, stand) it for just one day?
I listen to the rain('s) falling gray to the ground
I can feel (hear) my heart's calling many hearts around

Dreams the color of jade
The church in gold
Quai d'Orsay rose dore
I'm going upstairs
To take my place
Shadows of violet and Prussian blue

I'm walking along
Leaving the church
Feeling better in my heart of hearts
The sun sets chrome yellow with a touch of white
Clouds of light and leaden gray

"Reason To Believe"

"Reason To Believe"

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.
Still I look to find a reason to believe.

Someone like you makes it hard to live
Without somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give,
Never thinking of myself.

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.

Still I look to find a reason to believe.

Someone like you makes it hard to live
Without somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give,
Never thinking of myself.

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.
Still I look to find reason to believe.

"Rich Kid Blues"

"Rich Kid Blues"

Havin' bad times, now I'm paying dues,
Got shoes and money, good friends, too.
I always play to win, and always seem to lose,
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues.
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues.

And I know what's going on,
And I know that the way is too long.
And I know just exactly what's on your mind,
You'll be back and I'll lose you forever.

But I'm wondering why, girl, should I ask your name
All the people standing by, are they in my game?

Love is just a story, a story without words,
Words are even never seen and never even heard.

And I know what's going on,
And I know that the way is too long.
And I know just exactly what's on your mind,
You'll be back and I'll lose you forever.

Havin' bad times, now I'm paying dues
Got shoes and money, good friends, too.
I always play to win, always seem to lose,
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues.
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues.

"Rosie, Rosie"

"Rosie, Rosie"

Rosy, won't you please come home,
Mama don't know where you've been.
Rosy won't you please come home,
Your room's clean and no one's in it.

Oh, my rosy, how I miss you,
You are all the world to me.
Take a look and see if you like it,
If you like it, please, come back.

Rosy, won't you please come home,
Since you joined the upper classes
You don't know us anymore,
Live and let your trouble pass.

Rosy, rosy, where are you, tell me,
If you don't want to come back.
I will sacrifice all I have
To have a happy home once more.

Rosy, won't you please come home,
Two long years have passed away.
Since you tried to change your life
Christmas wasn't quite the same.

Rosy, rosy, got any answers?
You are miles across the sea
And I'll bake a cake if you tell me
You are on the first plane home.

Rosy, won't you please come home,
Mama don't know where you've been.
Rosy won't you please come home,
Your room's clean and no one's in it.

Oh, my rosy, how I miss you,
You are all the world to me.
Take a look and see if you like it,
If you like it, please, come home.

Rosy.

"Running For Our Lives"

"Running For Our Lives"

Move along staying close to the wall
Looking over your shoulder just in time.
Avoid the light, close your eyes
And put your hand in mine.
And put your hand in mine.

Are we in danger, or is it that
You think we might be?
But I think I'd like to get out of here,
This place it frightens me,
This place it frightens me.

Running for our lives,
At least we're pretending we are.
Running for our lives,
We never get very far.
We never get very far.
We never get very far.

Stop pretending
This is a child's adventure,
The only way I can take it
Is playing the game.

Be quiet, there's a gate ahead.
Do you think we can make it?
Will it be different, or just the same?
How long can we keep escaping,

How long can we keep escaping,
How long can we keep escaping
Into another prison?

Running for our lives,
At least we're pretending we are.
Running for our lives,
We never get very far.
We never get very far.
We never get very far.

Move along staying close to the wall,
Looking over your shoulder just in time.
Avoid the light, close your eyes
And put your hand in mine
And put your hand in mine.

Running for our lives,
At least we're pretending we are.
Running for our lives,
We never get very far.
We never get very far.
We never get very far.

We never get very far.
We never get very far.
We never get very far.
We never get...

"Sad Lisa"

"Sad Lisa"

She hangs her head and cries on my shirt
She must be hurt very badly.
Tell me what's making you sad, li?
Open your door, don't hide in the dark.
You're lost in the dark, you can trust me,
'cause you know that's how it must be.
Lisa lisa, sad lisa lisa.

Her eyes like windows trickle in rain
Upon the pain getting deeper
Though my love wants to relieve her.
She walks alone from wall to wall,

Lost in her hall she can't hear me,
Though I know she likes to be near me.
Lisa lisa, sad lisa lisa.

She sits in her corner by the door.
There must be more I can tell her
If she really wants me to help her.
I'll do what I can to show her the way
And maybe one day I will free her
Though I know no-one can see her.
Lisa lisa, sad lisa lisa.

"Sally Free And Easy"

"Sally Free And Easy"

Sally, free and easy,
That should be her name.
Sally, free and easy,
That should be her name.
Took a sailor's lovin'
For a nursery game.

Oh, the heart she gave him
Was not made of stone.
Oh, the heart she gave him
Was not made of stone.
It was sweet and hollow
Like a honeycomb.

Think I'll wait till morning,

See the ensign down.
Think I'll wait till sunrise,
See the ensign down.
See my coffin coming,
To my burial groun'.

Sally, free and easy,
That should be her name.
Sally, free and easy,
That should be her name.
Took a sailor's lovin',
For a nursery game.

"Salomon Song"

"Salomon Song"

You saw the wise man salomon,
You know what 'came of him.
To him the world seemed clear as day,
He cursed the sad hour that he saw the sign,
He knew that everything was dust.

How great and wise was salomon!
Watch out the world is spinning fast
The night will fall, the price we'll pay
Such wisdom's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise such clarity.

You saw divine cleopatra,
You know what 'came of her.
Two emperors died to serve her lust,
She whored herself to death, yes she did,
And withered into lovely dust.

How beautiful great babylon.
Watch out, the world is spinning fast
The night will fall, the price we'll pay,

Such beauty's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise such luxury.

Behold the man, the bold macheath,
The end's in sight, I fear.
If he had kept his pretty head
And just robbed the rich, but oh no, instead
All's come to nought and turned to dust.

How sad the heart when it has won.
Watch out the world is spinning fast,
The night will fall, the price we'll pay.
Such whoring's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise sweet chastity.

I'd like to introduce my friend, my musical director and accompanist, mr. Paul Trueblood. please, come on!

"Salvation"

"Salvation"

So, Jesus left you lonely
Feels like nothing's really holy
No one, no one hears your calling
Falling, everything is falling

Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?

So, Jesus left you lonely
Fells like nothing's really holy
No one, no one hears your calling
Falling, everything is falling

Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?

Try so hard just to speak to you
Nothing ever seems to come through
Curcustances on the breaking back
Try to sit down is a therapy

Oh, salvation, oh, salvation
Oh, salvation, oh, salvation

Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
