Nothing

In the style of

A Chorus Line (Movie Version)

Lyrics

i'm so excited
because i'm gonna go
to the high school
of performing arts

i mean
i was dying to be
a serious actress
anyway
it's the first day
of acting class
and we're in
the auditorium

and the teacher
mr. karp puts us
up on the stage
with our legs
around everybody
one in back
of the other
and he says

ok we're gonna do
improvisations
now
you're on a bobsled
and it's snowing out
and it's cold
ok go

every day for a week
we would try to
feel the motion
feel the motion
down the hill

every day for a week
we would try to
hear the wind rush
hear the wind rush
feel the chill

and i dug right down
to the bottom
of my soul
to see
what i had inside

yes i dug right down
to the bottom
of my soul
and i tried
i tried

and everybody's going
shwoo
shwoo
i feel the snow
i feel the cold
i feel the air

and mr. karp
turns to me and
he says
ok morales
what did you feel

and i said nothing
i'm feeling nothing
and he says nothing
could get a girl
transferred

they all felt
something
but i felt nothing
except the feeling
that this bullsh#t
was absurd

but i said to myself
hey it's only
the first week
maybe it's genetic
they don't have
bobsleds in san juan

second week
more advanced
and we had to
be a table
be a sports car
ice cream cone

mr. karp
he would say
very good
except morales
try morales
all alone

and i dug right down
to the bottom
of my soul
to see how an
ice cream felt

yes i dug right down
to the bottom
of my soul
and i tried
to melt

the kids yelled
nothing
they called me
nothing
and karp allowed it
which really
makes me burn

they were
so helpful
they called me
hopeless
until
i really didn't know
where else to turn

and karp kept saying
morales
i think you should
transfer to girls' high
you'll never be
an actress never
jesus christ

went to church
praying santa maria
send me guidance
send me guidance
on my knees

went to church
praying santa maria
help me feel it
help me feel it
pretty please

and a voice from
down at the bottom
of my soul
came up to the
top of my head

and the voice from
down at the bottom
of my soul
here is what it said

this man is nothing
this course is nothing
if you want something
go find a better class

and when you find one
you'll be an actress
and i assure you
that's what finally
came to pass

six months later
i heard that karp
had died
and i dug right down
to the bottom
of my soul

and cried
'cause i felt
nothing
