I Sing lyrics
I Sing
NICKY
I sing
Cause my future?s uncertain
HEIDI
I sing
Cause my song?s still unsung
ALAN
I?m alive and alert
PEPPER
And I pull back the curtain
CHARLIE
I sing I?m abrasive and young
ALL
I sing
NICKY
Cause my heart is still beating
ALL
I sing
HEIDI
Cause my story?s untold
CHARLIE
Who know?s where it?s leading?
ALAN
My hairline?s receding
PEPPER
I sing I don?t wanna grow old
ALL
I sing
Cause we?re barely beginning
MEN
I sing
Someone show me a sign
WOMEN
Who knows if I?m winning?
I?m in the first inning
MEN
I sing cause my life?s on the line
ALAN
But what do I do when there?s no one around
And I?m tearing my hair out and hitting the ground
CHARLIE AND NICKY
I?m ready for action
I?m always on call
CHARLIE
I?m on the attack
But my back?s to the wall
PEPPER
There?s so much to sing for
And so far to fall
ALL
Either it?s real or it?s nothing all
I sing cause I?m lonely
I sing cause I?m free
I won?t be the only one singing for me
NICKY
I rise at six and send a fax
I call the pricks at Goldman Sacs
I?m lucky if I make it out by ten
I get tickets for my bosses
And I wonder what did he pay?
So I try to cut my losses
And I auction them on eBay
Then wake up and do it all again
But I?m climbing higher
In the corporate ranking
Please let me retire
From investment banking
When will they loosen
The noose on our throats?
For my ulcer?s been growing
My pulse overflowing
I can?t call this sewing my oats
I sing
For the Protestant ethic
My wasp
Manifests destiny
The good old boy network
Will help me to get work
But who?s gonna help me break free?
I sing
CHARLIE
From Aspen in ski pants
To Paris to see France
To New York to freelance
A magazine
From Chelsea?s last pier dance
With hip-hop and queer trance
The places and faces
This fag has seen
My daddy died when I was ten
And left my half his cash
Now I tip out from my trust fund
To the bar back down at Splash
I sing
For my childhood regression
I sing
When I?m down on all fours
I?m still doing poppers
Attention all shoppers
I?m singing come take me, I?m yours
I sing
PEPPER
The shortest skirt in Riverdale
I?m such a flirt, my liver?d fail
I?m such a dirty drunk
I flunked my bachelor?s degree
My passion to cash-in got me the boot
Out of the Fashion Institute of Technology
But now they pay me by the night
To go somewhere that?s always the rage
And put on something much too tight
And shake my ass inside a cage
My life is a mess
But, I?m dressed to impress
I?m trendy
I?m bendy
I?m fun
I?m MTV?s typical motor boater
Fit apolitical club promoter
Flyer anyone?
I sing
With my Nokia cellphone
I sing
While I?m tapping the keg
I bought a new dildo
Who knows how far we?ll go?
I sing for my vibrating egg
I sing
HEIDI
I am Barbara Streisand
In the body of an elf
I never liked my thighs and
I feel bad about myself
There?s twelve unfinished screenplays
On my shelf collecting dust
I don?t wanna temp forever
No, it?s mere a max or bust
I feel like Laura Efron when I start out
Then I grab the Teflon and I stir fry my heart out
I like to cook
I love to eat
I crave domestic bliss
But no one ever told me
At my girl?s camp and the cat skill?s
There?d be year like this
I sing
For the stupid Stairmaster
I sing
For the workout at Crunch
I sing about futons
And Caesars with croutons
And snack wells with Prozac for Lunch
I sing
ALAN
We went to Vaster
Passed a class or two
Did a little Riddelin
And kid, we skid it through
I tried my hand at show biz
They said we?ll call don?t call us
So I traded in my toe shoes
For a torah and a tallus
Now I teach the Talmud
And I take what I can get
And the children of Manhattan
Learn the Hebrew alphabet
I sing
For the Carnegie Deli
I sing
For pastrami on rye
I sing for my parents in Shortlis, New Jersey
Baruch hata adonai
ALAN AND HEIDI
I sing
For my wildest obsessions
PEPPER AND CHARLIE
I sing
For the beauty in truth
MEN
I sing my confessions
Romantic depressions
WOMEN
I sing for the ideals of youth
ALAN AND HEIDI
I sing
Cause I?m still optimistic
PEPPER AND CHARLIE
I sing
I don?t know who I?ll be
ALAN
I?m not who I was
And I?m singing because
I don?t know who I am but I gotta be me
CHARLIE AND ALAN
But what do I do when there?s nobody there
And I?m throwing a fit with my fist in the air
NICKY AND PEPPER
I?m ready for something and someone to call
CHARLIE AND HEIDI
I?m losing my mind but I?m having a ball
NICKY AND ALAN
I?m singing for love and I?m ready to fall
ALL
Either it?s real or it?s nothing at all
I sing cause I?m lonely
I sing cause I?m free
I won?t be the only one singing for me
Why am I the only one who?s singing for me?
Am I the only one singing for me?
