about

The fog of nostalgia burns off as they remember they are young and they love to dance. And they do — in their subway squalor, but, in their imaginations, across country meadows, among ancient Roman ruins, and on the roof of Sears Tower with the city at their feet.

lyrics

[ENSEMBLE]
Heartbeat is the first song that you hear
But this could be the last song to be sung
This could be the last dance of the night, of the year,
As our lives disappear,
This could be our last chance to be young

When the Martians come to dig us out
This could be the last song that survives
They will scratch their pointy heads in wonder and doubt
What this world was about
This could be the last dance of our lives

It's hard / to remember / things you never knew
It's hard / to regret / things you'll never do
It's hard / to repeat / mistakes you never made
It's hard / just to think / when there's music being played

When you are born no thought of dying
When first you see no thought of crying
When first you sleep no thought of dreaming
When first you speak no thought of screaming
Sing that song
Right or wrong
Give your all
Before we fall
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Have we hope
for one last...
for one last...
for one last chance...?

[The bacchanal is interrupted by the sound of heavy machinery and an explosion shatters the back wall of the station. A wall of the subway collapses, revealing Jack with a surprise gift: a prisoner of war, now safely bound and gagged with duct tape.]
