I Remember How Those Boys Could Dance

Margaret: I remember how those boys could dance

Pressing close on friday nights

They could sweep me away

Oh, how those boys

Were demons of romance

In their cars, we'd chase the lights

I know just how boys will behave

Carrie: You'll like this boy, momma.

He's not like the others.

He's so sweet and and so polite.

He's nice, momma, you'll like him

You'll see, really you will.

Everyone isn't bad, momma. Everything's not a sin

Margaret: Oh, how your father whispered in my ear

First the kiss and then the touch

Mixing lies with the truth

He would sigh and try to draw me near

Oh, he'd swear he cared so much

That's what the boys do

They'll make promises

They will break your heart

Then they'll laugh at you watching you fall apart

Don't you think that I know

Don't you think this has happened before?

It's the smell of the blood that will drive them mad

Chasing you like a whore!

Carrie: No!

Margaret: Yes!

Carrie: But I did nothing wrong

I've been good for so long

It's the very first time

Margaret: I'm afraid for your soul.

Carrie: Momma, it’s not a crime

Margaret: Now you’re out of control

Carrie: Tommy asked me to go

Margaret: You will turn that boy down

Carrie: It’s too late to say no

Margaret: Or we’ll move from this town

Carrie: Once you meet him you’ll find

Margaret: You’re a moth to his flame

Carrie: He’s so gentle and kind

Margaret: Men are all the same!

Don't you know their game?

Have you lost your mind?

Can't you see satan's passion has made you blind?

And this boy's like the rest

And they're all like the serpents who crawl

Carrie: You don't even understand

Margaret: You can beg all you want to but I

Recall how your father came to me that night

Carrie: That doesn't mean that the same thing will happen to me

Margaret: With the smell of smoke and gin

Carrie: Give me a chance and you'll see!

Margaret: With the lust in his eyes

And he took me and touched me -

I tried to fight.

Carrie: God, momma, have you heard even one word that I've said?

Margaret: Satan made your father sin

Carrie: Sometimes I wish you were dead!

Margaret slaps carrie

Margaret: But the sin never dies!

Carrie: I said yes momma, I said yes!

Margaret: Come and pray!

Carrie: No more praying, momma!

No! No!

Carrie flexes her mind and margaret is pushed away from carrie

No! No!

Carrie flexes and margaret is forced into her chair unable to move.

No! No!

Flames shoot out of carrie’s hands as a wall of fire erupts from the ground

Separating her from her mother

Carrie: I am not afraid of you at all

I have nothing left to lose

I have power I can use

Nothing you can say or do

Will ever stop me again
