Oh, it's no use!
(To herself, in a wheelchair)
Another month in this house and I may go crazy.
(Speaks lyric to Anywhere But Where I Am)
A WEEKEND IN SIBERIA
WOULD SEEM A TREAT TODAY.
THE BLACK HOLE OF CALCUTTA
WOULD BE UTTERLY OKAY.
A TABLE IN HELL’S KITCHEN,
OR TRAFFIC ON A FRIDAY...
ANY PLACE IS BETTER
THAN WHERE I’M SPENDING MY DAY!
I WANT TO GET OUT...
I WANT TO BE FREE...
I WANT TO BE ANYWHERE
BUT WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW:
TO LEAVE THIS ROOM BEHIND ME,
GET RID OF TIES THAT BIND ME,
GO OUT WHERE I CAN RUN
AND FEEL THE NOONDAY SUN.
I HAVEN’T A DOUBT
HOW SWEET IT WOULD BE
IF I COULD BE ANYWHERE
BUT WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW:
TO BE MY FATE’S OWN CAPTAIN,
BREAK DOWN THE WALLS I’M TRAPPED IN...
RACE DOWN THE STREET
AS FAST AS FEET
ALLOW...
ANYWHERE
BUT WHERE I AM -- RIGHT NOW!
LIFE IS A CANCELED SHOW,
SPONGING HUSBANDS,
AND A SISTER PAST CONTROL.
I CAN’T TAKE ONE MORE BLOW!
NOW’S THE DAY TO
PULL MYSELF OUT OF THIS HOLE!
I’LL FIND A WAY OUT!
I’LL SEARCH FOR THE KEY
SO I CAN BE ANYWHERE
BUT WHERE I AM— RIGHT NOW!
AND THOSE WHO THINK THEY'RE STRONGER
WON’T HURT ME ANY LONGER!
I’LL FIGHT HARD AND I’LL WIN,
NO DOORS WILL LOCK ME IN!
I’LL KICK AND I’LL SHOUT,
“HEY, LISTEN TO ME!”
I’LL NEVER GET ANYWHERE
UNLESS I RAISE A ROW!
(Bumps head)
OW!!
NO CRAZINESS WILL DAUNT ME!
I’LL BE WHERE PEOPLE WANT ME!
WHO SAYS I WON’T!
I WILL! I DON’T
CARE HOW...
ANYWHERE
BUT WHERE I AM
RIGHT NOW!
(She beats and claws at the wall--to no avail)
