JesusChrist Superstar Album Lyrics

HEAVEN IN THEIR MINDS
Judas:
My mind is clearer now - at last all too well
I can see where we all soon well be
If you strip away the myth from the man
you will see where we all soon will be
Jesus! You've started to believe
The things they say of you
Tou really do believe
This talk of God is true
And all the good you've done
Will soon get swept away
You've Begun to matter more
Than the things you say

Listen Jesus I don't like what I see
All I ask is that you listen to me
And remember - I've been your right hand man all along
You have set them all on fire
They think they've found the new Messiah
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong

I remember when this whole thing began
No talk of God then - we called you a man
And believe me - my admiration for you hasn't died
But every word you say today
Gets twisted round some other way
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied

Nazareth your famous son should have stayed
a great unknown
Like hes father carving wood - he'd have made good
Tables chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best
He'd have caused nobody harm - no-one alarm

Listen Jesus do you care for you race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied - have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowd
For we are getting much too loud
And they'll crush us if we go to far

Listen jesus to the warning I give
Please remember that I want us to live
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour
All you followers are blind
Too much heaven on their minds
It was beautiful but now it's sour
Yes it's all gone sour

WHAT'S THE BUZZ

Apostles:
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening

Jesus:
Why sould you want to know?
Don't you mind about the future, don't you try
to think ahead
Save tomorrow for tomorrow, think about today instead

Apostles:
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening

Jesus:
I could give you facts and figures - I could give you plans
and forecasts
Even tell you where I'm going -

Apostles:
When do we ride into Jerusalem?

Jesus:
Why should you want to know?
Why are you obsessed with fighting times and fates
you can't defy?
If you knew the path we're riding you'd understand it liss than I

Apostles:
What's the Buzz? Tell me what's happening

Mary Magdalene:
Let me try to cool down your face a bit

Jesus:
That feels nice, so nice...
Mary that is good --
While you prattle through your supper - wher and when
and who and how
She alone has tried to give me what I need
right here and now

Apostles:
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening?

EVERYTHING IS ALLRIGHT
[Mary Magdalene]
Try not to get worried
Try not to hold on to
Problems that upset you, oh
don't you know
Everything's All Right Now, Everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without your tonight
If we try, we'll get by
So forget all about us tonight.

[Chorus]
Everything's All Right, Yes
Everything's All Right, Yes

[Mary Magdalene]
Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh
Then you'll feel
Everything's All Right Now, Everything's fine
And it's cool, and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax,
Think of nothing tonight.

[Chorus]
Everything's All Right, Yes
Everything's All Right, Yes

[Judas]
Woman, your fine ointment,
Brand new and expensive
Should have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted?
We could have raised, maybe,
Three Hundred silver pieces, or more.
People who are hungry,
People who are strving matter more
Than your feet and hair.

[Mary Magdalene]
Try not to get worried
Try not to hold on to
Problems that upset you, oh
don't you know
Everything's All Right Now, Everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without your tonight
If we try, we'll get by
So forget all about us tonight.

[Chorus]
Everything's All Right, Yes
Everything's All Right, Yes

[Jesus]
Surely you're not saying
We have the resources
To save the poor from their lot.
There will be poor always
Pathetically struggling
Look at the good things you've got.
Think while you still have me,
Move while you still see me.
You'll be lost,
You'll be so so sorry
When I'm gone.

[Mary Magdalene]
Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh
Then you'll feel
Everything's All Right Now, Everything's fine
And it's cool, and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, Close your eyes and relax,
Think of nothing, tonight.

[Chorus]
Everything's All Right, Yes
Everything's All Right, Yes (Repeat)

[Mary Magdalene]
Close your eyes, Close your eyes and relax,
Think of nothing, tonight. (Repeat)
