Margaret (spoken):I don't know what you've been dreaming about tonight Carrie. You've hardly touched your dinner. Now have some pie

Carrie (Spoken):It makes me have pimples mama

Margaret (Spoken):Nonsense. As Peter says, the only beauty that matters is the precious light that comes from within

Carrie:Mama don't you think it's time. I should try to get along

Margaret(spoken):Whatever are you going on about Carrie? Being different is the lord's blessing

Carrie:Mama people think i'm strange. All the kids have called me names

Margaret (spoken):Well then just don't listen to them. It is written he who hears my voice alone shall be saved

Carrie:Mama can't we stop and talk. There's this boy named Tommy Ross

Margaret:Carrietta

Carrie:I've been invited to the prom

Margaret (spoken):Prom?

Carrie:

I never dreamed that I could go

When he first asked and I said no

He asked me twice

He asked me twice

And so I finally told him yes

I thought if i could make my dress

I might look nice

I might look nice

I know I'm not like all the others

Sometimes i dream in colors

Sometimes I even think i'm lovely

Nobody feels the things that i do

Mama please I'm just not like you

Maybe I'll find someone to love me

Carrie(spoken):Tommy's a very nice boy and he'll have me home by midnight. It's Saturday. I've accepted mama. I've accepted

Margaret:

I remember how those boys could dance

Pressing close on friday nights

They could sweep me away

Carrie(spoken):

Mama

Oh how those boys were demons of romance

In their cars we chased the lights

I know just how boys will behave

Carrie(spoken):

Not this boy mama, he's isn't like the others. He's nice, you'll see, really you will. Everyone isn't bad mama. Everything's not a sin

Margaret:

Oh how your father whispered in my ear

First the kiss and then the touch

Mixing lies with the truth

He would sigh and try to draw me near

Oh he'd swear he cared so much

That's what the boys do

They'll make promises

They will break your heart

Then they'll laugh at you

Watching you fall apart

Don't you think that i know

Don't you think this has happened before

It's the smell of the blood that will drive them mad

Chasing you like a whore

Carrie(spoken):No!

Margaret:

Don't you know their game

Have you lost your mind

Can't you see satan's passion has made you blind

And this boy's like the rest

And they're all like the serpents who crawl

You can beg all you want to the lord

How your father came to me that night

Carrie:That doesn't mean that the same thing will happen to me

Margaret:With the smell of smoke and gin

Carrie:Give me the chance and you'll see

Margaret:

With a lust in his eyes

And he took me and touched me

I tried to fight

Carrie:Mama please listen you don't hear a word that I've said

Margaret:Satan gave your father sin

Carrie:Sometimes I wish you were dead

Margaret:And the sin never died

Carrie(spoken):Mama please stop!

Margaret(spoken):You're not going

Carrie(spoken):I've already said that I would, I've said yes

Margaret(spoken):Then say no. tell him you changed your mind

Carrie(spoken):Mama come back

Margaret(spoken):The rain's coming in. I have to close the windows

Carrie(spoken):I'll get them!

Margaret(spoken):Witch!

Carrie:

I am not afraid of you at all

I have nothing left to lose

I have power I can use

Nothing you can say or do

Will ever stop me again
