Wicked (musical) - Dancing Through Life lyrics

Fiyero:
The trouble with schools is
They always try and teach the wrong lessons
Believe me
I've been kicked out of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callow
Less shallow
But I say why invite stressing
Stop studying strife
And learn to live the unexamined life

Dancing through life
Skimming the surface
Gliding where turf is smooth
Life's more painless
For the brainless
Laughing too hard
When it's so soothing

Dancing through life
No need to tough it
When you can sluff it
Off as I do
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
So keep dancing through

Dancing through life
Swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool
Life is fraughtless
When you're thoughtless
Those who don't try
Never look foolish

Dancing through life
Mindless and careless
Make sure you wear less
Troubles and strife
Woes are fleeting
Blows are glancing
When you're dancing
Through life

So
What's the most swankified place in town?

Galinda:
That would be the Ozdust Ballroom

Fiyero:
Sounds perfect!
Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
We'll meet there later tonight
We can dance till it lights
Find the prettiest girl
Give her a whirl
Right on down
To the Ozdust Ballroom
Come on, follow me
You'll be happy to be there

Dancing through life
Down at the Ozdust
But only because dust
Is what we come to
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
So keep dancing through

Boq:
Miss Galinda?
I hope you'll save at least one dance for me
I'll be right there waiting all night

Galinda:
Oh, that's so kind of you
But you know what would be even kinder?
See that tragically beautiful girl
The one in the chair?
It seems so unfair
We should go on a spree
And not she
See, I know someone would be my hero
If that someone were
To go invite her

Boq:
Well maybe, I could invite her?

Galinda:
Oh Buck, really? You would do that for me?

Boq:
I would do anything for you, Miss Galinda

Galinda:
So...

Fiyero:
So I'll be picking you up around...8?

Galinda:
After all

Galinda & Fiyero:
Now that we've found one another
It's clear we deserve each other

Galinda:
You're perfect

Fiyero:
You're perfect

Galinda & Fiyero:
So we're perfect together
Born to be forever

Dancing through life

Nessa:
Oh, Elphy, isn't it wonderful?
Finally for this one night
I'm about to have a fun night
With this munchkin boy
Galinda found for me
And I only wish there were
Something I could do for her
To repay her
Elphaba see?
We deserve each other
And Galinda helped it come true
We deserve each other
Me and Boq
Please Elphaba, try to understand

Elphaba:
I do
Galinda listen, Nessa and I were just talking about you

Galinda: And I was just talking about you
I thought you might want to wear this hat
To the party tonight
It's really, uh, sharp, don't you think?
You know black
Is this year's pink
You deserve each other, this hat and you
You're both so smart!
You deserve each other
So here
Out of the goodness of my heart

Boq:
Nessa? Uh, Nessa?

Nessa:
Yes?

Boq: I have something to confess, a
Reason why, well, why I asked you here tonight
Now I know it isn't fair

Nessa:
Oh, Boq, I know why

Boq:
You do

Nessa:
It's because I'm in this chair
And you felt sorry for me
Now isn't that right?

Boq:
No! No!
It's because, eh, because,
Because you are so beautiful

Nessa:
Oh Boq, I think you're wonderful
And we deserve each other
Don't you see this is our chance?
We deserve each other, don't we Boq?

Boq:
You know what?
Let's dance

Nessa:
What?

Boq:
Let's dance

Students of Shiz University:
Dancing through life
Down at the Ozdust
Before it becomes dusk
It's what we come to
And a strange thing
Your life could end up changing
While you're dancing
Through
