Going Through the Motions
(Buffy) 	Every single night, the same arrangement
	I go out and fight the fight.
	Still I always feel this strange estrangement,
	Nothing here is real, nothing here is right.
	I've been making shows of trading blows,
	Just hoping no one knows,
	That I've been going through the motions,
	Walking though the part,
	Nothing seems to penetrate my heart.
 	 
	I was always brave and kind of righteous,
	Now I find I'm wavering.
	Crawl out of your grave, you find this fight
	Just doesn't mean a thing
(Henchman)  	She ain't got that swing.
(Buffy)  	-pause- Thanks for noticing.
(Demon & Henchmen)  	She is pretty well with fiends from Hell
	But lately we can tell
	That she's just going through the motions
	Faking it somehow.
(Demon)  	She's not even half the girl she...owww!
(Buffy)  	Will I stay this way forever?
	Sleepwalk through my life's endeavor.
(Handsome Young Man)  	How can I repay...
(Buffy)  	Whatever!
	I don't want to be
	Going through the motions,
	Losing all my drive.
	I can't even see,
	If this is really me,
	And I just wanna be alive.

I've Got a Theory
(Giles)  	I've got a theory, that it's a demon,
	A dancing demon. No, something isn't right there.
(Willow)  	I've got a theory, some kid is dreamin'
	And we're all stuck inside his wacky Broadway nightmare.
(Xander)  	I've got a theory we should work this out.
(All except Buffy)  	It's getting eerie, what's this cheery singing all about?
 	 
(Xander)  	It could be witches, some evil witches.
	Which is ridiculous 'cause witches they were
	persecuted wicked good and loved the earth and women power
	and I'll be over here.
 	 
(Anya)  	I've got a theory, it could be bunnies...
 	 
(Tara)  	I've got a theory
(Anya)  	Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes,
	They've got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses.
	And what's with all the carrots?
	What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?
	Bunnies, bunnies it must be bunnies!
	...or maybe midgets.
 	 
(Willow)  	I've got a theory we should work this fast.
(Willow & Giles)  	Because it clearly could get serious before it's passed.
 	 
(Buffy)  	I've got a theory - it doesn't matter.
	What can't we face if we're together?
	What's in this place that we can't weather?
	Apocalypse? We've all been there.
	The same old trips. Why should we care?
 	 
(All except Giles)  	What can't we do if we get in it?
	We'll work it through within a minute.
(add Giles)  	We have to try. We'll pay the price.
	It's do or die.
(Buffy)  	Hey, I've died twice!
 	 
(all)  	What can't we face if we're together? (Giles) - What can't we face?
	What's in this place that we can't weather? (Giles) - If we're together.	There's nothing we can't face.
(Anya)  	Except for bunnies.


I'm Under Your Spell
(Tara) I lived my life in shadow, never the sun on my face. It didn't seem so sad though, I figured that was my place. Now I'm bathed in light. Something just isn't right.

I'm under your spell. How else could it be, anyone would notice me? It's magic, I can tell. How you set me free, brought me out so easily.

I saw a whole world enchanted, spirits and charms in the air, and I always took for granted, I was the only one there. But your power shone, brighter than any I've known.

I'm under your spell. Nothing I can do, you just took my soul with you. You worked your charm so well, Finally I knew, everything I dreamed was true. You made me believe.

The moon to the tide, I can feel you inside. I'm under your spell. Surging like the sea, drawn to you so helplessly. I break with every swell, Lost in ecstacy, spread beneath my Willow tree.

You make me complete. You make me complete. You make me complete. You make me complete.

I'll Never Tell
(Anya)  	This is the man that I plan to entangle, isn't he fine?
	My claim to fame was to maim and to mangle, vengeance was mine!
	But I'm out of the biz, the name I made I'll trade for his.
	The only trouble is ... I'll never tell.

(Xander)  	She is the one, she's such wonderful fun, such passion and grace.
	Warm in the night, when I'm right in her tight ... embrace. Tight embrace!
	I'll never let her go. The love we've known can only grow.
	There's just one thing that...no. I'll never tell.
(both)  	Cuz there's nothing to tell.

(Anya)  	He snores.
(Xander)  	She wheezes.
(Anya)  	Say housework and he freezes.
(Xander)  	She eats these skeezy cheeses that I can't describe.
(Anya)  	I talk, he breezes.
(Xander)  	She doesn't know what pleases.
(Anya)  	His penis got diseases from a Chumash Tribe!
 
(both)  	The vibe gets kind of scary.
(Xander)  	Like she thinks I'm ordinary.
(Anya)  	Like it's all just temporary.
(Xander)  	Like her toes are kinda hairy.
(both)  	But it's all very well.
	Cuz God knows I'll never tell!
	 
(Anya)  	When things get rough, he just hides behind his Buffy.
	Now look, he's gettin' huffy.
	Cuz he knows that I know.
(Xander) She clings, she's needy, she's also really greedy. She never... (Anya) His eyes are beady! (Xander) This is my verse, hello? She... (Anya) Look at me! I'm dancing crazy! (both) You know (Xander) You're quite the charmer (Anya) My knight in armor (Xander) You're the cutest of the Scoobies, with your lips as red as rubies, And your firm yet supple tight embrace! (Anya) He's swell. (Xander) She's sweller. (Anya) He'll always be my feller. (Xander) That's why I'll never tell her that I'm petrified. (Anya) I've read this tale, there's wedding then betrayal. I know there'll come the day I'll want to run and hide. (both) I lied, I said it's easy. I've tried, but there's these fears I can't quell. (Xander) Is she looking for a pot-of-gold? (Anya) Will I look good when I've gotten old? (Xander) Will our lives become too stressful if I'm never that successful? (Anya) When I get so worn and wrinkly that I look like David Brinkley? (Xander) Am I crazy? (Anya) Am I dreamin'? (Xander) Am I marrying a demon? (both) We could really raise the beam in making a marriage a Hell. So thank God I'll never tell. I swear that I'll never tell. (Xander) My lips are sealed. (Anya) I take the fifth! (Xander) Nothin' to see! Move it along! (Anya) I'll never tell!

Rest In Peace
(Spike)
I died, so many years ago. But you can make me feel like it isn't so. And why you come to be with me, I think I finally know. Mmmmmm. You're scared, ashamed of what you feel. And you can't tell the ones you love, you know they couldn't deal. A whisper in a dead man's ear, that doesn't make it real. That's great, but I don't wanna play. Cuz bein' with you touches me, more than I can say. And since I'm only dead to you, I'm sayin' stay away. And let me rest in peace.

Let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep! Let me take my love and bury it in a hole six foot deep! I can lay my body down but I can't find my sweet release! So let me rest in peace!

You know, you got a willin' slave. And you just love to play the thought that you might misbehave. But 'til you do, I'm tellin' you Stop visitin' my grave! And let me rest in peace!

I know I should go. But I follow you like a man possessed. There's a traitor here beneath my breast, And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed. If my heart could beat it would break my chest. But I can see you're unimpressed. So leave me be,

And let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep! Let me take my love and bury it in a hole six foot deep! I can lay my body down but I can't find my sweet release! Let me rest in peace! Why won't you let me rest in peace!

Walk through the Fire
BUFFY
I touch the fire and it freezes me
I look into it and it's black
Why can't I feel?
My skin should crack and peel
I want the fire back

Now, through the smoke she calls to me
To make my way across the flame
To save the day or maybe melt away
I guess it's all the same

So, I will walk through the fire
Cause where else can I turn?
I will walk through the fire
And let it - -

SPIKE
The torch I bear is scorching me
And Buffy's laughing I've no doubt
I hope she fries
I'm free if that bitch dies!
I better help her out...

LOTD
Cause she is drawn to the fire

LOTD: Some people never learn / SPIKE: She will never learn
SPIKE AND LOTD
And she will walk through the fire
And let it - -

GILES
Will this do a thing to change her? Am I leaving Dawn in danger? Is my slayer too far gone to care?

XANDER
What if Buffy can't defeat it?

ANYA
Beady Eyes is right
We're needed!
...Or we could just sit around and glare

ANYA, GILES, TARA, WILLOW, AND XANDERy We'll see it through
It's what we're always here to do
So, we will walk through the fire...

(Buffy and Tara's following verses overlap.)
BUFFY
So one by one, they turn from me
I guess my friends can't face the cold
But why I froze, not one among them knows
And never can be told

TARA
What can't we face
If we're together?
(These three parts are sung mostly in unison.)
PART I
ANYA
She came from the grave much graver

SPIKE
First, he'll kill her, then I'll save her

TARA
Everything is turning out so dark

SPIKE
No, I'll save her, then I'll kill her

WILLOW
I think this line is mostly filler

GILES
What's it going to take to strike a spark?

PART II
BUFFY
Going through the motions
Walking through the part
These endless days are finally ending in a blaze

PART III
LOTD
So one by one, they come to me
The distant redness as their guide
That single flame
Ain't what they had in mind
It's what they have inside She will come to me

BUFFY, ANYA, GILES, SPIKE, TARA, WILLOW, AND XANDER
And we are caught in the fire
At the point of no return
So we will walk through the fire
And let it
Burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn!

Life's a Show
BUFFY
Life's a show
And we all play our parts
And when the music starts
We open up our hearts

It's all right
If some things come out wrong
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along

Where's there's life
There's hope, everyday's a gift
Wishes can come true
Whistle while you work
So hard all day
To be like other girls
To fit in in this glittering world
Don't give me songs

GILES (spoken)
She needs backup. Anya, Tara...

BUFFY
Don't give me songs
Give me something to sing about (ANYA AND TARA: Ahhhhh...)
I need something to sing about
Life's a song
You don't get to rehearse
And every single verse
Can make it that much worse
Still, my friends don't know why I ignore
The million things or more
I should be dancing for
All the joy, life sends
Family and friends
All the twists and bends
Knowing that it ends
Well, that depends
On if they let you go
Or if they know enough to know
That when you've bowed
You leave the crowd

There was no pain
No fear, no doubt
Till they pulled me out
Of Heaven
So that's my refrain
I live in Hell
'Cuz I've been expelled
From Heaven
I think I was
In Heaven

So, give me something to sing about
Please Give me something

SPIKE
Life's not a song
Life isn't bliss
Life is just this
It's living
You'll get along
The pain that you feel
You only can heal
By living
You have to go one living
So one of us is living

DAWN (spoken)
The hardest thing in this world is to live in it
