I don't know what you've been dreaming about tonight Carrie

You've hardly touched your dinner

Now have some pie

It makes me have pimples, Mama

Nonsense. As Peter says,

"The only beauty that matters is the precious light that comes from within."

Mama, don't you think it's time I should try to get along?

Whatever are you going on about Carrie?

Being different is the Lord's blessing

Mama, people think I'm strange

All the kids have called me names

Well then just don't listen to them

It is written, "He who hears My voice alone shall be saved."

Mama can't we stop and talk?

There's this boy named Tommy Ross

Carrietta

I've been invited to the Prom

Prom?

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

Tommy's a very nice boy and he'll have me home by midnight

It's Saturday

I've accepted, Mama

I've accepted

I remember how those boys could dance

Pressing close on Friday nights

They could sweep me away

Mama?

Oh how those boys were demons of romance

In their cars we chased the lights

I know just how boys will behave

Not this boy mama!

He isn't like the others

He's nice, you'll see, really you will

Everyone isn't bad, Mama

Everything's not a sin!

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!

No!

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 but I recall

How your father came to me that night

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

With the smell of smoke and gin

Give me the chance and you'll see

With a lust in his eyes

And he took me and touched me

I tried to fight

Mama, please, listen

You don't hear a word that I've said

Satan gave your father sin

Sometimes I wish you were dead!

And the sin never died

Mama, please stop!

You're not going

I've already said that I would, I said yes

Then say no

Tell him you changed your mind

Mama come back

The rain's coming in

I have to close the windows

I'll get them!

Ah! No! Witch!

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
