Premiere Cast - Carrie lyrics

Chris: (spoken) You know what Norma calls her? Scary White. Do you love it? All: (murmuring and repeating) Scary White Carrie: (sung) That's not my name! Doesn't anybody ever get it right? Carrie! Why don't they remember, I am Carrie White? Carrie! Is it any harder to say than goddamn toad and spastic and weirdo and dumb b**h? Doesn't anybody think that I can hear? I hear! Especially when I've got 'em screaming in my ear! I hear! Everyday they mock me and push me around til I drop If I had a wish, God, I'd wish they'd stop! When will they? I wish they'd? When will they when will they when will they Sometimes their hatred is out of control God, how they hurt me! Momma says suffering is good for the soul But they hurt me! And if I could, I'd bring them all down to their knees I'd make them sorry forever for teasing Carrie Carrie Carrie I will not cry I am okay I try so hard to play their way Why do they find it so hard to say Carrie Why do they always treat me so bad? They all know my name Its Carrie I don't know why they all get so mad Its always the same What's going on deep in me? All of these feelings, suddenly If I am changing Will I still be Carrie Or what if I am somebody new? Imagine! The things I might do I might take a chance I've always wondered how Maybe I'll dance And try hard to laugh more than I do now And the world will open its eyes And for once the whole world will recognize Carrie! Then all those people who scream night and day "God praying Carrie!" They'd say they knew me and they might even say "Its Carrie" And finally I'd hear theirs calls, sounding so sweet! Thousands of voices Forever repeating Carrie Carrie Carrie I am a sound of distant thunder The color of flame I'm Carrie! I am a song of endless wonder That no one will claim! But someday! Oh my, someday! Someone will know My name!
