Eva and Magaldi/Eva Beware of the City

Eva seeks magaldi out backstage.

Eva: To think that man as famous as you are
could love a poor little nothing like me!

Magaldi: Eva!

Eva:I want to be a part of B.A., Buenos Aries, Big Apple!

Eva's Family: She wants to be a part of B.A., Buenos Aries, Big Apple!

Che: Just listen to that! They're onto you Magaldi
I'd get out while you can!

Eva: Its happened at last! I'm starting to get started!
I'm moving out with my man!

Magaldi: Now Eva don't get carried away.

Eva: Monotony past! Suburbia Departed!
Who could ever be fond of the back of beyond!

Magaldi: Don't hear words that I didn't say!

Eva's Family: What's that!? You'd desert the girl you love?

Magaldi: The girl I love? What are you talking about?

Eva's Family, Men: She really brightened up your out of town engagement.
Women: She gave you all she had she wasn't in your contract!
All: You must be quite relieved that no one's told the papers, SO FAR!

Eva: I want to be a part of B.A., Buenos Aries, Big Apple!
Would I have done what I did
if I hadn't thought,
if I hadn't known,
we would stay together?

InnkeeperThis guy shows up a lot when Che is around. He's kinda like a second Che.
Seems to me there's no point in resisting
She's made up her mind you've no choice.
Why don't you be the man who discovered her?
You'll never be remembered for your voice.

Magaldi: The city can be paradise for those who have the cash,
the class and the connections, what you need to make a splash
The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash.
If you were rich or middle class....

Eva: Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them.
My father's other family were middle class.
And we were kept out of sight
hidden from view at his funeral.

Innkeeper/Che2: Do all your one night stands give you this trouble?

Magaldi: Eva beware of the city
Its hungry and cold
can't be controlled
it is mad.

Those who are fools are swallowed up whole
and those who are not
become what they should not become
changed: In short they go bad.

Eva: Bad is good for me
I'm bored so clean and so ignored!
I've only been predictable! Respectable!
Birds fly out of here so why oh why the hell can't I?
I only want variety, of society.
I want to be a part of B.A., Buenos Aries, Big Apple!

Eva's Family: She wants to be a part of B.A., Buenos Aries, Big Apple!

Magaldi: Five years from now i will come back
and finally say, "You have your way, come to town."
But you'll look at me with a foreigners eyes,
The Magical City
a younger girl's city
A fantasy long since put down.

Eva: All you've done to me
was that a young girl's fantasy?
I played your city games last night, didn't I?
I already know what cooks, how the dirt city feels and looks
I tasted it last night, didn't I?
I want to be a part of B.A., Buenos Aries, Big Apple!

Eva's Family: She wants to be a part of B.A., Buenos Aries, Big Apple!

Magaldi: Eva beware your ambition,
its hungry and cold,
can't be controlled
will run wild.

This in a man is danger enough
but you are a woman, not even a woman
not very much more than a child and whatever you say i'll not steal you away!
