Carrie Lyrics - Singles - Premiere Cast

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 bitch? 

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!
