• randy newman'ın 1995 da studio orchestra ile compose ettigi reprise etiketi ile satışa sunulan faust adlı rock muzikalinde ki enfes leziz epic şarkı.aslen genel dinleyici kitlesi ally mcbeal'ın bir bölümünde ally'nin kendi hayalinden çevresindeki insanlara söylettigi bir şarkı olarak küçük bir bölümünü dinlemişti.ancak şarkının orjinal hali gerçekten lyricleri açısından dinlenilmeye deger bir şarkı.müzikal alt yapısı da bir müzikal parçası olması açısından randy newman'ın ne kadar usta bir compositor oldugunu yansıtmakta.

    orjinal lyricleri de şu şekildedir:

    lord: when i'm feeling down
    worried about every little thing
    i take a look around and this is what i say

    relax, enjoy yourself
    it's only a glorious game
    there's fruit trees growin' in an open field
    and wild roses bloomin' down a country lane
    look around, old chum
    slow it down, old chum
    for you never will succeed
    you never will succeed

    relax, enjoy yourself
    it's all just a wonderful game
    there are rivers and forests,
    and mountains high
    there's the deep green ocean
    and the pale blue sky
    let it go and then, you will know, old friend
    that you never will succeed
    you never will succeed
    angel child: it must be very trying to be bad all the time
    vicious and cruel and mean
    when there's so much beauty
    all around us to be seen
    and so very little time in which to see it all
    and feel it all
    so little time
    perhaps when you were little
    no one held you in their arms
    and told you that they loved you very much
    perhaps you were embittered
    by your fall from grace
    d: how long have you been dead?
    ac: two months
    d: do you miss your friends?
    ac: yes, i miss them
    i've tried to make friends here, but it's hard
    d: you were a good girl
    cut down in your prime
    ac: yes
    d: the man who shot you in the head
    in that 'burger king in tucson
    well, he never will be punished you know
    he will move to big pine, california
    become the richest man in inyo county
    while that may not be much, it's enough
    when he dies
    sixty-five years from today
    with his loved ones all around him
    he'll be whisked right up to heaven
    he won't pass go or have to wait
    he'll just march right through the goddamned gate
    and why, you may ask yourself why
    for thousands and thousands of years
    i have asked myself why
    l: faith.
    contrition.
    sincere contrition.
    confession.
    sincere confession
    redemption.
    absolution
    those who seek me shall find me
    in the case of this man,
    predestination
    my ways are mysterious
    sometimes even to myself
    my ways are mysterious
    d: relax, old chum. relax.
    its only a glorious game that we're playing
    and in a few more years
    when i move up here
    things will never be the same
