The Music And The Mirror


Cassie:
(Spoken) I can't get a job zach god, you sound like all my friends - my fans acting like I'm a star and don't know it - when the truth is I never even came close and nobody has the guts to tell me well, it would be nice to be a star but I'm not, I'm a dancer

(Singing)

Give me somebody to dance for,
Give me somebody to show
Let me wake up in the morning to find
I have somewhere exciting to go

Zach:
So, you're going through a slow period, it happens to everyone something will happen

Cassie:
That's what I kept telling myself in california, and I kept telling myself that and telling myself that well nothing will happen I can't act

Zach:
What?

Cassie:
I can't act and there I am in california supposed to be this actress well, it didn't take me long to find out I can't act didn't take hollywood very long either

Zach:
You didn't work out there?

Cassie:
Oh, sure a rotten part in a so-so film - part ended up getting cut, thank god - I was a go-go dancer in a tv movie of the week let's see - oh, yeah - commercials, I almost got to squeeze a roll of toilet paper but I lost out in the finals isn't' that something? seventeen years in the business and I end up flunking toilet paper squeezing? and I was a dancing band-aid - that was fun we had an earthquake and I got a terrific tan - and surely you must have heard about

Zach:
I did hear you were going out with some big agent being a bit wild, running around, carrying on

Cassie:
Well, when you're a woman of leisure what else is there to do but get a bit wild and run around? not to mention getting fat - and going crazy - which is why I came back to new york and which is why I am here today, zach, old dear little cat I need a jo

(Singing)

To have something that I can believe in
To have something to be
Use me choose me

Zach:
I just can't see you dancing in the chorus, cassie

Cassie:
Why not?

Zach:
Listen, if you need some money, call my business manager

Cassie:
Well, sure I need money who doesn't? but I don't need a handout I need a job I need a job and I don't know any other way to say it do you want me to say it again?

Zach:
No

Cassie:
Fine, then we got that far look, I haven't worked in two years, not really there's nothing left for me to do so - I'm putting myself on the line (stepping to the line) yes I'm putting myself on your line I don't want to wait on tables and what I really don't want to do is teach other people how to do what I should be doing myself

(Singing)

God, I'm a dancer,
A dancer dances!

Give me somebody to dance with
Give me a place to fit in
Help me return to the world of living
By showing me how to begin

Play me the music,
Give me a chance to come through
All I ever needed was the music, and the mirror,
And the chance to dance for you

Give me a job and you instantly get me involved
If you give me a job,
Then the rest of the crap will get solved
Put me to work,
You would think that by now I'm allowerd
I'll do you proud!

Throw me a rope to grab on to
Help me to prove that I'm strong
Give me the chance to look forward to sayin':
"hey, listen they're playin' my song"

Play me the music
Give me a chance to come through
All I ever needed was the music, and the mirror,
And a chance to dance

(Mirrors are now turned, dance section)

Play me the music
Play me the music
Play me the music
Give me a chance to come through
All I ever needed was the music, and the mirror,
And a chance to dance

(Flying mirrors come in dance section)
