From the Gutter to the Stars (Emily, Veronica)

EMILY
 Lying in the gutter
 Looking at the stars
 Listening to her breathing as she
 Passes through these rusty bars
 Free as any bird, with wings as wide
 I'm free when I am with her
 Dancing down the hallway
 Laughing at her chains
 Others fade away, yet somehow she remains
 Strong as any storm, and just as wild
 I'm strong when I am with her
 Yes, I know they could separate us
 This is true
 They don't even hate us
 It's just what they do
 But if only in my dreams
 I will follow you
 From the gutter to the stars
 I will wash your stockings
 Lace your corset tight
 Waiting in the wings—
 VERONICA
 No!
 On the stage with me
 EMILY
 Alright
 VERONICA
 When the curtain closes—
 EMILY
 I'll be there
 VERONICA
 You won't go nowhere?
 EMILY
 I'm home when I am with you
 With the slightest touch I'm
 In Trafalgar Square
 Swinging round the lamp posts
 VERONICA
 Breathing in clean air
 EMILY
 Will they understand us?
 VERONICA
 Just be brave
 EMILY
 I'm brave when I am with you
 Yes, I know they could separate us
 This is true
 They don't even hate us
 It's just what they do
 But if only in my dreams
 I will follow you
 From the gutter to the stars
 VERONICA
 What is that over there?
 EMILY
 It's a trap!
 VERONICA
 It's a stage!
 What is this in my hand?
 EMILY
 It's a scrap!
 VERONICA
 It's a page from a playbill
 With both of our names!
 EMILY
 Side by side?
 VERONICA
 As it should be!
 EMILY
 It could be?
 VERONICA
 My darling just look!
 It's a carpeted floor
 It's a dressing room door
 It's a crowd wanting more
 VERONICA, EMILY
 I can see it now!
