lirik lagu leonard bernstein - xvi. fraction: “things get broken”

[celebrant}
pacem! pa … cem!
look …
isn’t that …
… odd …
red wine … isn’t red … at all …
it’s sort of … brown … brown and blue …
i never noticed that
what are you staring at?
haven’t you ever seen an accident before?
look …
isn’t that …
… odd …
glass shines … brighter …
when it’s … broken …
i never noticed that
how easily things get broken
glass … and brown wine …
thick … like blood …
rich … like honey and blood …
hey … don’t you find that funny?
i mean, it’s supposed to be blood …
i mean, it is blood …
his …
it was …
how easily things get broken …
what are you staring at?
haven’t you ever seen an accident before?
come on, come on, admit it
confess it was fun
wasn’t it?
you know it was exciting
to see what i’ve done
come on, you know you loved it
you’re dying for more
wasn’t it smashing
to see it all come crashing
right down to the floor?
right!
you were right, little brothers
you were right all along
little brothers and sisters
it was i who was wrong
so earnest, so solemn
as stiff as a column
“lauda, lauda, laude.”
little brothers and sisters
you were right all along!
it’s got to be exciting
it’s got to be strong
come on!
come on and join me
come join in the fun:
shatter and splatter
pitcher and platter
what do we care?
we won’t be there!
what does it matter?
what does it … matter …
our father, who art in heaven
haven’t you ever seen an accident before?
listen …
isn’t that …
… odd …
we can … be … so still …
so still and … numb …
how easily things get quiet …
… quiet …
god is very ill …
we must … all be very still …
his voice … has grown so small
almost … not there at all …
don’t you cry …
lullaby …
sleep …
sleep …
shh …
shh …
pray, pray …
you sons of men …
don’t let … him die again …
stay, oh stay …
domine …
stay …
why are you waiting?
just go on without me
stop waiting
what is there about me
that you’ve been respecting
and what have you all been
expecting to see?
take a look, there is nothing
but me under this
there is nothing you’ll miss!
put it on, and you’ll see
anyone of you can be
anyone of me!
what?
are you still waiting?
still waiting for me
me alone
to sing you into heaven?
well, you’re on your own
come on, say it
what has happened to
all of your vocal powers?
sing it, pray it
where’s that mumbo and jumbo
i’ve heard for hours?
praying and pouting
braying and shouting litanies
chanting epistles
bouncing your missals
on your knees …
go on whining
pining, moaning, intoning
groaning obscenities!
why have you stopped praying?
stopped your kyrieing?
where is your crying and complaining?
where is your lying and profaning?
where is your agony?
where is your malady?
where is your parody
of god … said …
let there be and there was …
god said: let there
beatam mariam semper virginem
beatam miss the gloria
i don’t sing
gratias agimus tibi
propter magnam
gloriam tuamen …
amen
amen
i’m in a hurry
and come again
when?
you said you’d come …
come love, come l~st …
it’s so easy if you just don’t care
lord, don’t you care …
… if it all ends today …
… profundis clamavi
clamavi ad te, domine, ad dominum, ad
dom …
adonai …
… don’t know
i don’t n0bis …
miserere n0bis …
mise … mi …
mi alone is only me …
but mi with so …
me with s …
… mi …
oh, i suddenly feel ev’ry step i’ve ever
taken
and my legs are lead
and i suddenly see ev’ry hand i’ve ever
shaken
and my arms are dead
i feel ev’ry psalm that i’ve ever sung
turn to wormwood, wormwood on my
tongue
and i wonder
oh, i wonder
was i ever really young?
it’s odd how all my body trembles
like all this mass
of glass on the floor
how fine it would be to rest my head
and lay me down
down in the wine
which never was really red …
… but sort of …
… brown …
and let not … another word …
be spoken …
oh …
how easily things get broken
