Xanadu Cast - Evil Woman

Melpomene: Apparently, there is no success nor joy for you nor I.
And now, Clio is to be granted Xanadu!
Would that I were a god, I would smite her.

Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hot to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze

Both:
Ha, ha

Melpomene:
Woman
What you gonna do
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It's so good that you're feelin' pain
But you better get your face on board the very next train

Both:
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Evil woman, evil woman

Melpomene:
Evil woman, hey

Calliope:
You're an evil woman

Melpomene:
Evil woman

I know what lets do!

Calliope: What lets?

Melpomene: What lets use our muse powers and place a curse upon our sister.
That she falls in love with this mortal!

Both:
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Calliope: What a glorious prank. We shall do the curse, she shall be in love!
And by Zeus' decree . . . Be put to death!

Both:
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Melpomene: Oh, come my daughter Sirens.
Come join your mother and aunt in mean-spirited melody!

Sirens:
You're an evil woman.

Calliope:
Evil woman how you done me wrong
But now you're trying to wail a different song

Both:
Ha, ha

Calliope:
Ah, funny how you broke me up
You made the wine now you drink a cup
I came a-runnin' every time you cried
I thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes
Ha, ha very nice to know
That you ain't got no place left to go
All:
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Sirens:
Evil woman

Melpomene:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sirens:
Evil woman

Calliope:
Not a nice lady!

Sirens:

Xanadu Cast - Suddenly

If only there were a book. A magic book!
That listed all the locations in Los Angeles and had their phone numbers next to it.

Sonny: Yeah!

Kira: And if that book had pages the color of amber!

Sonny: I know! I'll look it up in the phone book!

Kira: My god! You're brilliant!

Sonny: It's ringing!
She walks in, I'm suddenly a hero
I'm taken in, my hopes begin to rise

Kira:
Look at me, can't you tell I'd be so
Thrilled to see the message in your eyes

Sonny:
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there

Kira:
Suddenly--

Both:
The wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
'Cos I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you

Sonny:
Oh, hi. My name is Sonny Malone and
I'd like to rent this large auditorium for an event I'm planning.
Yeah, I can be there in five minutes. Where are you? Got it.
Ok, so take Melrose, uh-huh, past La Cienega. Uh-huh, then past La Brea
. . .

And how can I feel you're all that matters
I'd rely on anything you say

Kira:
I'll take care that no illusions shatter
If you dare to say what you should say

Sonny:
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there

Kira:

And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean

Sonny: Kira, let's go talk to the landlord of this place.
He has an office in Downtown, L.A.

Kira: Downtown, L.A.?

Sonny: Don't worry!
You make me feel so invincible I feel like I could go into Downtown, L.A. without a weapon!

Why do I feel so alive when you're near,
There's no way any hurt can get

Both:
Longing to spend
Every moment of the day with you--
With you

Kira:
Suddenly--

Both:
The wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers

Xanadu Cast - Whenever Youre Away From Me

Danny:
No other face could take you off my mind
You're so refined
And much too kind
I have to warn you I'm never gonna set you free
'Cause I was born to love you for eternity

Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray
'Cos I'll never be far away

Tangerine/Clio:
On every breeze I seem to hear your name

Danny:
My heart's aflame

Tangerine/Clio:
I feel the same

Both:
I'd fall apart dear
If you let the feelin' end
Don't break a heart dear
Nobody else could mend

Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray
'Cos I'll never be far away

(Tangerine/Clio Scatting/Tap Dance)

Tangerine/Clio:
You better never stray
Better never stray
You better never stray,
'Cos I'll never be far away

Xanadu Cast - Suspended in Time

A child and a fool in one
So sure I could need no one
My heart always on the run to nowhere
Now as you're holding me
My heart is reminding me
That now I could never be without you

But how can our love succeed
A miracle is what we need
And so I appeal to you
To keep me suspended in time with you
Don't let this moment die
I get a feeling when I'm with you
None of the rules apply
But I know for certain
Goodbye is a crime
So love if you need me
Suspend me in time

Wasted the time away
Holding our love at bay
Now I can't last a day without you
Your smile is a thrill to see
Eyes hold me tenderly
They'll shine in my memory forever

But how can our love succeed
A miracle is what we need
And so I appeal to you
To keep me suspended in time with you
Don't let this moment die
I get a feeling when I'm with you
None of the rules apply
But I know for certain
Goodbye is a crime
So love if you need me
Suspend me in time
In time

Xanadu Cast - Have You Never Been Mellow?

There was a time when I was in a hurry as you are
I was like you
There was a day when I just had to tell my point of view
I was like you
Now I don't mean to make you frown
No, I just want you to slow down

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds
I was like you
Never had time to lay back, kick your shoes off, close your eyes
I was like you
Now you're not hard to understand
You need someone to hold your hand

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?
