Looking Good by Vanities: A New Musical Lyrics
[Joanne, spoken]
Oh god, Kathy. So you still haven't figured out what you're looking for?
[Kathy, spoken]
Not yet. But today I found the two most important people I've been missing
[Kathy, sung]
Often was the time I gazed in the mirror, and nothing was clearer to me. Then you look at the sky, or you study a star, and the person you are becomes easier to see
[Mary]
We're on a journey that takes us a while. Living is more than just image, and style
[Kathy]
I never knew 'til recently, exactly where I stood
[Mary and Kathy]
Looking good seemed likе it was everything, but now, at long last, things are looking good
[Kathy, spoken]
Should wе drive around at look at our old hangouts?
[Joanne, spoken]
God, who would have thought after so many years we'd be back in the same hick town trying to figure out what the fuck to do
[Joanne, sung]
Always thought that I'd be perfect forever, and swore that I never would fall
[Kathy]
But then time plays its tricks
{Joanne and Kathy]
And your world gets revised
[All]
And the things that you prized, they don't matter much at all
[Joanne]
We're on a mission we can't really know
[All]
Most of us making it up as we go
[Joanne]
I had to learn priorities, as anybody would
[All]
Looking good seemed like it was everything, but now, finally now, things are looking good
[Mary]
And the people you meet, they will always be near. Maybe on and off, like a winter cough, you can't really shake
[Joanne, Mary echo]
Someone might let you down (Someone might let you down]
Someone might disappear (Someone might disappear)
[All]
They'll come shining through, deep inside of you, in every move you make
[Kathy]
We're on a river that sweeps us along, all we can-
[All]
Hope, is that little boats row. Farewell the days of innocence, goodbye to childhood
[Kathy]
When looking good seemed like it was.. everything
[Kathy, Joanne and Mary echo]
But now (But now)
Oh my friend (Oh my friend)
We don't need (We don't need)
[All]
To pretend!
[Joanne, Kathy and Mary echo]
What we do (What we do)
Will depend (What we do will depend)
[Mary, Joanne and Kathy echo]
On what lies (On what lies)
[All]
'Round the bend! It's a road with no end
[Kathy]
And it's beautiful
[All]
Hey there, beautiful. Things are looking good
Oh god, Kathy. So you still haven't figured out what you're looking for?
