Devil Take The Hindmost (Quartet) lyrics
Devil Take The Hindmost (Quartet)
Raoul:
Will she sing?
Will she flee?
What is she
thinking now?
Is it him?
Is it me?
Devil take the hindmost.
Stagehand 1: (spoken) Ready on the floor?
Stagehand 2: (spoken) Ready on the floor!
(Overlapping)
Raoul:
Will she stay?
Will she go?
Does she know
Even know?
Please Christine
Stop the show
Phantom:
Obey your heart
And sing for me
You want it so
Stay and be mine
Eternally
Both:
Devil take the hindmost.
Now it's time
To make your choice
Do it for our son
Phantom: Use your head
Raoul: No time to wait
Both:
Hesitate
We're all undone
Stagehand 1: (spoken) Ready in the pit?
Stagehand 2: (spoken) Ready in the pit!
(Overlapping)
Madame Giry:
Perhaps she won't go on
Perhaps she'll lose her nerve
Perhaps her voice won't serve
And she will fail him now
And then my child and I
Will get what we deserve
Raoul:
Will she stay?
Will she go?
Does she know
Even know?
Please Christine
Stop the show
Phantom:
Obey your heart
And sing for me
And sing for me
Give me the child
Eternally
All:
Devil take the hindmost.
(Repeat)
All:
Now it's time
No turning back
All is on the line.
Here it is
The final dance
One last chance to get what's mine.
Madame Giry:(spoken)
I hope Christine is worthy of you. I hope her singing makes up for what your blindness has done to Meg and me.
Meg: Devil take the hindmost.
