SPIDER WOMAN
Come and find me, hear my song
Let me hold you here where you belong...
Lips are waiting, pain will cease
Calm your anguish
I can bring you peace...
PRISONERS
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
WARDEN
Prisoner 16115, name Valentin Arrequi Paz. Age 27, suspect is key to terrorist
groups. Prisoner
is currently being interrogated. We will break him, I assure he will be broken.
We have our ways.
SPIDER WOMAN
Sooner or later you're certain to meet
In the bathroom, the parlor or even the street...
WARDEN
Prisoner 57884, name Luis Alberto Molina. Age 37, sexual offender. Arrested for
corrupting a minor: Male! Serving third year of eight year sentence...
HER NAME IS AURORA
MOLINA
Aurora, help me...I need you...Come to me like you always have...
Her name is Aurora and she is so beautiful
No man who has met her can even forget her
They're madly in love, forever in love
I see her so clearly, I know her so well...
She steps to her glass now
All almonds and roses
She's powered and pampered
The sight of her dark eyes
Igniting the screen...
Scorching the screen
PRISONERS
Look at her radiance
See how she glows
Look at her silken cheeks
Pink as rose
Tell us you secret madam
Tell us please do
What is this happiness shining from you?
SPIDER WOMAN
So...you want to know...
Why I'm aglow...Oh!
Last night
I went too see the gypsy
And oh the things she had to say
She told me I would meet a stranger
A lean, handsome hero
Who'd sweep in and sweep me away
I sat there trembling at the table
And smelled the incense in the air
Someday you'll hear a cry, she told me
A sharp piercing sound and when you look around
The love of your life will be there!
I cannot tell you how you'll meet him
Or when you'll meet your love or where
But soon you'll hear that cry, she told me
And you'll look around...
PRISONERS
You'll look around!
AURORA
At that sharp piercing
COMPANY
Sharp piercing
Sharp piercing
Sharp piercing
Sharp piercing...
OVER THE WALL I
PRISONERS
There are big busted woman
Over the wall
Over the wall
There are big busted woman
Who bake on the beaches
With oil on their bellies
Over the wall
Over the wall
There is rum from the cane fields
Over the wall
Over the wall
There is sun on my taxi
And cakes in my oven
And fish in my netting
And grease in my barnyard
And big busted woman
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
And I wonder if I'll ever see them again
SPIDER WOMAN
And the moon grows dimmer
At the tides low ebb
And your breath comes faster
And you're aching to move
But you're caught in the web...
BLUEBLOODS
MOLINA
Do you know why they call royalty bluebloods?
Well, I do!
They call royalty bluebloods
Because their skin was so thin
That their veins showed through, blue!
There, that's something I've taught you
No need to thank me!
VALENTIN
Go to hell!
MOLINA
Any more that you ever thanked me
For nursing you through those first few days
When they first threw you in here
Remember that?
Valentin, meet Molina, the resident queen!
Well, I suppose some people are always
The ungrateful kind, like you,
To name a few!
You, you, you, you, you!
VALENTIN
Will you please shut up!
Will you ever shut up?
Can't you leave me alone?
There's a side of this cell
That's your own, with it's own space
It's own air...Stay there!
DRESSING THEM UP
MOLINA
Dressing them up
I love the dressing them up
The subtle tilt of a hat
Touches like that
Makes me the best of the lot
At dressing them up
I was the cream of the crop
The way I buckled the belt
Folded the felt
Helped me to get where I got
Before I got where I got!
I was the absolute top
For example:
Once I asked for a Balenciaga scarf
To stuff in a mannequin's purse
They told me, no one on earth will see!
I answered, no one on earth but me!
I stood my ground as no other dresser does
And darling guess what? Balenciaga, it was!
Dressing them up,
I was the creme de la creme
As I adjusted each hem
I keep on dazzling them
At my particular store
Which was the best in the town
You'd never catch them wearing a frown
Or catch them dressing me down
For my finesse at dressing them up
Raise that skirt, just an inch or two
Add some rouge, just a pinch or two
Start the fan
No, much gustier
Stuff that gauze
Make her bustier
Ooh! That frock, too much red in it!
I would not be caught dead in it
Well, they start out like hell
But I make them sell by
Dressing them up
From earrings down to their boots
In evening dresses or suits
Unlike some second rate fruits
At other second rate stores
Which can't compare to my own
You'll never catch them wearin a frown
Or catch them dressing me down
For my finesse at dressing them up!
I had the touch...
Thank you very much!
I DRAW THE LINE
VALENTIN
Will you please shut up
Will you ever shut up?
"Thank you very much!"
You're making me sick
With that prissy whine
Watch me now, I draw a line
So you stick to your side
And I'll stick to mine
Never, ever cross this line!
MOLINA
Fine! But the pot,
How about the pot?
VALENTIN
What about the pot?
MOLINA
It's on your side
VALENTIN
So what?
MOLINA
So when I have to use the pot
I intend to use the pot
VALENTIN
So what, that's an exception
MOLINA
Oh, Gracious one, thanks a lot!
VALENTIN
So don't ever try to be
Don't ever dream you'll be
Don't dare to think that you'll
Ever be some fairy friend of mine
Cause no, no, no, no, no!
That's where I draw the line
MOLINA
Fine!
VALENTIN
I draw the line
MOLINA
Fine!
VALENTIN
I draw the line
MOLINA
Fine!

OVER THE WALL II
PRISONERS
Where's the woman I call my wife?
Waiting for me to resume my life?
Guarding her ass with a kitchen knife?
Or screwing the janitor
Over the wall
Where is the friend in the photograph
Tender amigo who made me laugh
Splitting the shit with me, half and half
Is he taking good care of it?
Over the wall
MOLINA
So I sit on my coat and my memory whirls
As I think of the boys dressing up like girls
Wearing too much mascara and phony pearls
Over the wall
PRISONERS
Where are the children who bear my name?
Making a circle to play a game?
Do they say to the neighbors I'm not to blame?
Or spit at the thought of me?
Over the wall
VALENTIN
So I wait in my cell feeling half alive
Sharing food with a rat, maybe four or five
While the rats with the power can all survive
Over the wall
VALENTIN AND PRISONERS
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
WHERE YOU ARE
MOLINA
When you feel you've gone to hell in a hand basket
And the world in which you dwell's no paradise
AURORA
I've some counsel I can give
You need but ask it
I'm so very glad to share this good advice
You've got to learn how not to be
Where you are
The more you face reality, the more you scar
So close your eyes and you'll become a movie star
Why must you stay where you are?
You've got to learn how not to see
What you've seen
The slice of hell you call your life
Is harsh and mean
So why not lie beside me on a movie screen
Why must you see what you've seen?
And if you find that you land in jail
A little fantasy will not fail
It's just as simple as ABC
Come up here, play with me, play with me!
You've got to learn how not to do
What you've done
The pistol shot can't kill if you unload the gun
So build a place where you're the shah
And we'll embrace in that Shangri-La
If you run away, some matinee
From where you are
AURORA AND PRISONERS
You've got to learn how not to be
Where you are
The more you face reality, the more you scar
So close your eyes and you'll become a movie star
Why must you stay where you are?
AURORA
So why not lie beside me on a movie screen
Why must you see what you've seen?
AURORA AND PRISONERS
And if you find that you land in jail
A little fantasy will not fail
It's just as simple as ABC
AURORA
Come up here, play with me, play with me!
AURORA AND PRISONERS
You've got to learn how not to do
What you've done
The pistol shot can't kill if you unload the gun
AURORA
So build a place where you're the shah
And we'll embrace in that Shangri-La
If you run away, some matinee
From where you are
AURORA AND PRISONERS
And if you find that you land in jail
A little fantasy will not fail
It's just as simple as ABC
Come up here, play with me, play with me!
AURORA
Turn off the lights and turn on your mind
And I can promise you you will find
You will like my plan, my sweetest fan,
My leading man
Anywhere you are!
MARTA
VALENTIN
There's a cobblestone street
And a little red door
And three flights up is Marta
Waiting there is Marta
PRISONERS
Over the wall
Over the wall
VALENTIN
And I still can see us lying together
Talking, smoking, lying together
Helps me through
So I close my eyes
And I hear her step
And I know she's come to hold me
So, my senses stir
PRISONERS
Over the wall
VALENTIN
But it's never ever her
It's just a dream of her
PRISONERS
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
VALENTIN
So I close my eyes
And I hear her step
And I know she's come to hold me
So, my senses stir
PRISONERS
Over the wall
Over the wall
VALENTIN
But it's never ever her
It's just a dream of her
PRISONERS
And I wonder
If I'll ever see them again
I DO MIRACLES
AURORA
I do miracles
Though the lash of the whip
Has caused your flesh to tear
I will place my lips on you everywhere
And I'll do miracles
Blood
On your slender hips
Blood
Underneath your eyes
Blood
On your firm young thighs
Let me kiss it away
So that i can hear you say
That I do miracles
Though your breath racks your ribs
and you throb with pain
There's a juice on my lips
For each purple stain
And my hair sweeps your chest
Like the cool, black rain
You can't explain, though you will see
I do miracles in me
MARTA
I do miracles
AURORA
I do miracles
MARTA
As I cradle you close and caress each bruise
What I've come here to give,
You must not refuse!
BOTH
There is love in my touch that is yours to use
And if you chose, just breath my name
And I'll be doing miracles
I do miracles
There are miracles in me...
GABRIEL'S LETTER / MY FIRST WOMAN
GABRIEL
I'm sorry to hear they've taken you away
I'm sure you're innocent
You're such a good man
You must be innocent
And I'm sorry if I've never told you
How grateful i am
For the movies, the talks, and the books
The gifts to my wife and newborn child
I am truly sorry
And, finally, I'm sorry for any pain I may have caused you
I know what you wanted of me
But I'm just not that way
What a strange thing to be sorry for
But that's the way it is, isn't it?
I'm sorry, simply sorry!
VALENTIN
My first woman, I remember my first woman
Back of a building
Me and my friends
A couple of pesos
There on the gravel
Down on her knees
What did she look like?
Probably plain
Who can remember?
But to me she was the keeper of all mystery
GABRIEL
And, finally, I'm sorry
For any pain I may have caused you
VALENTIN
My first woman,
I remember my first woman
GABRIEL
I know what you wanted of me
But I'm just not that way
VALENTIN
Back of a building
Me and my friends
A couple of pesos
GABRIEL
I'm sorry
VALENTIN
There on the gravel
GABRIEL
What a strange thing
To be sorry for
But that's the way it is, isn't it?VALENTIN
Down on her knees

GABRIEL
I'm sorry,
VALENTIN
But to me she was the keeper of all mystery.
GABRIEL
Simply sorry!
Your friend, Gabriel.
MORPHINE TANGO
ORDERLIES (PRISONERS)
Ooh...
First you take your arm and stick it out
Then you take a tube you twist about
Pull it tight until you find a nice blue vein
And ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Then you take two fingers, pat the skin,
Try the needle out, then stick it in
Any second now, you'll feel no pain
Just ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Not bad, is it?
Dreams drift by
Loved ones visit as you lie there...
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Oooooooooooooooooohhhhhh...
YOU COULD NEVER SHAME ME
MOLINA
Am I dying mama?
MOTHER
Hooo! Listen to him! A good son doesn't die before his mother.
You are going to see me off, thank you very much, and I am going
to be waiting for you with a good warm shawl.
MOLINA
I'm so sick, Mama!
MOTHER
A good son sees his poor old mother through her old age; he doesn't
leave her for a tummy ache!
MOLINA
You're not old...You're still beautiful.
MOTHER
I bet you say that to all the girls!
MOLINA
There are no girls, Mama... I have brought you such shame!
MOTHER
No Luis, only if you did something cruel, or uncaring...
You could never shame me
There, I've told you so
Many things confuse me
But this I know
Let the neighbors gossip
At the mention of your name
You have never brought me shame
I know some mamas have roughnecks
Who never bring them joy
Thank God, you're not that kind of boy!
I know that you're different
I don't really care
I would never change a hair
You like this Valentin, don't you?
MOLINA
To him, I'm a silly window dresser.
That's all I am to everyone but you!
MOTHER
Hoo! What nonsense!
Some other mamas have children
Whose secrets hurt them so
But you have no secrets, I already know
And...you could never shame me
Let me say out loud
I've a son, a loving son,
Who makes me proud...
A VISIT / MORPHINE TANGO
SPIDER WOMAN
Good evening, how've you been?
MOLINA
Go away, you know how I've been!
SPIDER WOMAN
I only want to talk, why are you afraid?
MOLINA
I've always been afraid of you!
SPIDER WOMAN
But why?
MOLINA
I don't know.
SPIDER WOMAN
It will change
Someday you'll recognize
As your friend
MOLINA
No, never my friend, go away!
SPIDER WOMAN
But I am beautiful
MOLINA
Yes you are!
SPIDER WOMAN
And I am warm and kind and gentle,
Why don't you like me?
MOLINA
I don't know!
SPIDER WOMAN
Someday you will understand
I am your friend
Some day you will kiss me
MOLINA
Never, never, go away, go away!
SPIDER WOMAN
Someday you'll give in
Of course you will, all men do
Yes, all men kiss me and you will too
You'll part my lips and rest yours there
You'll run your fingers to my hair
Your cries of pleasure
Will heat the cool night air
When you kiss me
And you will kiss me
But not now! Not yet! Not now!
ORDERLIES
Ooh...
Now that you have found this perfect place
Permanent delight lights up your face
Never mind the rhumba beat of sweet cocaine
Just change this morbid scene
Take some more morphine
And do ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
The Morphine Tango
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh!
SHE'S A WOMAN
MOLINA
She wears satin
Spanish lace
She feels wild chinchilla
Brush across her face
She's lucky, she's a woman...
She wears diamonds
Bright as stars
She has lovers open doors
To fancy cars
She's lucky, so lucky, she's a woman...
A perfume by Lanvin
To dab across her wrist
A secret, ribboned diary
Of all the men she's kissed
Lilac waters bathe her skin
At the opera, ushers gasp
When she sweeps in
Gifts of chocolate, roses too
Hand delivered notes
Confessing "I LOVE YOU!"
Milky lotions, scented creams
She's the climax
Of your Technicolor dreams
How lucky can you be?
So lucky, you'll agree
And I wish that she were me
That woman...

MOLINA
Come with me...
Her name is Aurora
And she is so beautiful,
No man who has met her
Can ever forget her
They're madly in love
Forever in love.
RUSSIAN MOVIE / GOOD TIMES
MOLINA
Flame of St. Petersburg, the final reel, Tatyana Alexandrova,
vedette du cabaret, is singing her final number...
AURORA
Aaah, aaah, aaah...
MOLINA
All of St. Petersburg is there. The Tsar himself is in the audience.
It is a farewell performance, for tomorrow she will become the
Countess Ostrovsky.
AURORA
There's going to be good times
Nothing but good times
They're going to be scattering today
And all of those bad times
Those terrible bad times
Are going to be packing up and leaving town today
So put on a smile
Start waving Your Hand
Whatever was grim is going to be grand .
And...
There's going to be good times
Nothing but good times
Good times are coming your way
MOLINA
Cut to her dressing room and her faithful maid, Lisette
"Madame"
AURORA
Yes, Lisette!
MOLINA
"This note arrived for you"
AURORA
"Count Ostrovsky has deceived you. Your lover, the student
revolutionary Bolshevik anarchist, Anatol, will be shot as he
waits for you in vain on the Pushkin bridge this evening at
the stroke of midnight. A friend."
I must save him, summon my troika.
MOLINA
"But, Madame. the danger!"
AURORA
Not a word, Lisette. Pas un mot!
To be in love is the sweetest thing.
But to risk everything for love is even sweeter!
VOICE (WARDEN)
Tatyana, my love
AURORA
C'est lui, Ostrovsky
MOLINA
"How you hate him!"
AURORA
Oh, God!
VOICE
My carriage is waiting, my love!
AURORA
Quick. There's no time. I must slip out the back way.
Hold him at bay for as long as you can.
VOICE
Tatyana!
AURORA
Adieu, Lisette. Courage.
VOICE
Tatyana!
MOLINA
Cut to dark shadowy streets. Snow is falling.
The wind is whistling. A night of terror the clock
strikes midnight. Tatyana dismisses her trolka driver
and as she hurries down the empty, terrifying,
night-shadowed streets, her whole life swirls before her.
At last she sees the bridge over the canal and in the
light of a solitary streetlamp, her lover. She is in time.
She will save him. They will flee to Paris.
She begins to run but his figure seems to recede.
It's like a terrible dream.
AURORA
Anatol!
MOLINA
He turns. His eyes light up. He calls to her.
VALENTIN
Tatyana!
MOLINA
Bang. Cose up.
Joy, not pain.
Illuminates her features
Courage, not fear is across her face.
This is not death. This is ecstasy
AURORA
Anatol, my Anatol!
I wanted to warn you!
MOLINA
"What have you done for me, my Tatyana?"
AURORA
Nothing, nothing, my Anatol!
MOLINA
Red blood stains the snowy street.
She is fading fast. But she is in her lover's arms again at last,
And somehow forever.
So put on a smile
Start waving your hand
Whatever was grim is going to be grand.
And...
There's going to be good times
Nothing but good times
Viva la guerra, viva la revolucion, viva-!
VALENTIN
Good times are coming our way...
MOLINA
Fade to black
The end.
THE DAY AFTER THAT
VALENTIN
It was made out of mud
And pieces of tin
And boxes nailed together
Cardboard boxes
My castle
My home
And we slept on the floor
My sister and I
With gunny sacks for our pillows
Coughing, hungry, cosy
My home
And every Sunday on our knees
We would thank the Lord
For his bountiful blessings
And our mother poured soup
Into little cracked bowls
As she spoke of something better
Beef steak, maybe, someday
My home
And that lady had eyes
That were empty and cold
At the ripe old age of thirty
Death came
Welcome
To my home
And still that Sunday
On our knees
How we thanked the Lord
For his bountiful blessings
And my sister and I
Swore the day that we left
There'd be no more children like us
In the filth there in the heat there.
In the smell there
And no more Sundays
On our knees
Would we thank the Lord
For his bountiful blessings
And we came to the city
And begged for our food
Then, one April day we heard it
Thunder rumbling
One man speaking
Thousands singing ..
Someday we'll be free
I promise you, we'll be free
If not tomorrow
Then the day after that
And the candles in our hands
Will illuminate this land
If not tomorrow
Then the day after that
And the world that gives us pain
That fills our lives with fear
On the day after that
Will disappear
And the war we've fought to win
I promise you, we will win
If not tomorrow
Then the day after that
Or the day after that
VALENTIN
and families of the disappeared
Someday we'll be free
I promise you, we'll be free
If not tomorrow
Then (Or) the day after that
And the candles in our hands
Will illuminate this land
If not tomorrow
Then the day after that
And the world that gives us pain
That fills our lives with fear
On the day after that
Will disappear
Will disappear
And the war we've fought to win
I promise you, we will win
If not tomorrow
Then the day after that
Or the day after that
Or the day after that
Or the day after that
Or the day after that
Or the day
After that!
MAMA, IT'S ME
MOLINA
Mama, it's me
Mama, I'm coming to get you
It won't be much longer
Mama, you'll see
But don't try to talk now
You've got to get stronger
Soon, we'll be going to movies
I'll buy you a beautiful things
Wait till you see what tomorrow brings...
Happiness, mama
You never now where it might be
Mama, it's me. It's me.
Hush, mama. Hush
You've got no reason cry
No, mama, no
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
ANYTHING FOR ME
SPIDER WOMAN
Soon, I feel it
Soon, somehow
I will have him

I've no interest in his cause,
Let that be.
Please God, let him turn around
And look at me.

KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN
SPIDER WOMAN
Sooner or later
You're certain to meet
In the bedroom, the parlor or even the street
There's no place on earth
You're likely to miss
Her kiss
Sooner or later
In sunlight or gloom
When the red candles flicker
She'll walk in the room
And the curtains will shake and the fire will hiss
Here comes her kiss
And the moon grows dimmer
At the tide's low ebb
And her black beads shimmer
And you're aching to move
But you're caught in the web
Of the Spider Woman
In her velvet cape
You can scream
But you cannot escape
Sooner or later your love will arrive
And she touches your heart
You're alert and alive
But there's only one pin
That can puncture such bliss
Her kiss
Sooner or later you bathe in success
And your minions salute
They say nothing but "YES"
But your power is empty
It fades like the mist
Once you've been kissed
And the moon grows dimmer
At the tide's low ebb
And your breath comes faster
And you're aching to move
But you're caught in the web
Of the Spider Woman
In her velvet cape
You can run
You can scream
You can hide
But you cannot escape!
ONLY IN THE MOVIES
MOLINA
Optimistic endings
Passionate romances
Beautifully beefy heroes
Taking death defying chances
You're certain to meet
Only in the movies
Decorous Madonnas
Totally compliant
Challenging the villain bravely
Both high busted and defiant
Only in the movies
But marble floors to glide on
And loop the loops to ride on
And sultry girls beginning some beguine
I found, as I grew older
And life became much colder
Were, to my sorrow,
Nowhere to be seen
And so, I sprayed a little perfume
Dabbed a little powder
And Suddenly the muted strings
Began to play a little louder
And though I knew the difference
I Kept on pretending
I was in the movies
But everything changed when I met you
You've changed my life somehow
Everything changed when I met you
I find I walk In Technicolor now
And as this princess lay dying
She raised her lovely head
And as her lover knelt beside her
This is what she said
Looking into those steely blue eyes of his
She cried
"Viva la guerra!"
"Viva la revolucion!"
"Viva whatever it is!"
VALENTIN
His name was Molina.
ALL
