On The Steps Of The Palace - Stephen Sondheim[00:00:00]

He's a very smart Prince[00:00:07]

He's a Prince who prepares[00:00:11]

Knowing this time I'd run from him[00:00:14]

He spread pitch on the stairs[00:00:18]

I was caught unawares[00:00:20]

And I thought well he cares[00:00:22]

This is more than just malice[00:00:26]

Better stop and take stock[00:00:30]

While you're standing here stuck[00:00:31]

On the steps of the palace[00:00:32]

You think what do you want[00:00:35]

You think make a decision[00:00:37]

Why not stay and be caught[00:00:40]

You think well it's a thought[00:00:41]

What would be his response[00:00:42]

But then what if he knew[00:00:44]

Who you were when you know[00:00:45]

That you're not what he thinks[00:00:47]

That he wants[00:00:48]

And then what if you are[00:00:50]

What a Prince would envision[00:00:52]

Although how can you know[00:00:55]

Who you are till you know[00:00:56]

What you want which you don't[00:00:57]

So then which do you pick[00:00:58]

Where you're safe out of sight[00:00:59]

And yourself but where everything's wrong[00:01:00]

Or where everything's right[00:01:04]

And you know that you'll never belong[00:01:05]

And whichever you pick[00:01:09]

Do it quick[00:01:10]

'Cause you're starting to stick[00:01:10]

To the steps of the palace[00:01:12]

It's your first big decision[00:01:15]

The choice isn't easy to make[00:01:17]

To arrive at a ball[00:01:19]

Is exciting and all[00:01:20]

Once you're there though it's scary[00:01:21]

And it's fun to deceive[00:01:24]

When you know you can leave[00:01:25]

But you have to be wary[00:01:26]

There's a lot that's at stake[00:01:28]

But you've stalled long enough[00:01:29]

'Cause you're still standing stuck[00:01:30]

In the stuff on the steps[00:01:32]

Better run along home[00:01:33]

And avoid the collision[00:01:35]

Even though they don't care[00:01:37]

You'll be better of there[00:01:38]

Where there's nothing to choose[00:01:39]

So there's nothing to lose[00:01:41]

So you pry up your shoes[00:01:43]

Then from out of the blue[00:01:46]

And without any guide[00:01:48]

You know what your decision is[00:01:51]

Which is not to decide[00:01:52]

You'll leave him a clue[00:01:54]

For example a shoe[00:01:57]

And then see what he'll do[00:02:00]

Now it's he and not you[00:02:02]

Who is stuck with a shoe[00:02:04]

In a stew in the goo[00:02:05]

And you've learned something too[00:02:10]

And I've learned something too[00:02:12]

Something you never knew[00:02:13]

And I've learned something too[00:02:15]

That I never never never never knew before[00:02:16]

On the steps of the palace[00:02:27]
