The Great Gatsby the Musical - Finale Roaring On Lyrics
The song is written by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen.
NICK:
I standing in Grand Central,
Waiting for an West bound train.
I'm carrying all I own,
Left nothing behind.
I'm looking through a window,
I watchin' frame by frame,
The reasons I had to go,
Reply in my mind.
And on my way back to St. Paul,
I start to write it all,
And remember...
(spoken)
Gatsby believed in the Green Light,
The orgastic future that year
By year that receedes before us.
It alluded us then b-b-but
Then that's no matter!
ENSEMBLE:
(Quietly, layering Nick)
Where's the party
And can you take me there?
And when the party's over
Can you find another party somewhere?
NICK: (spoken)
Tomorrow,
We will run faster,
Stretch out our arms further!
ENSEMBLE:
(Quietly, layering Nick, getting louder)
We live for today,
We pay off the cops,
And today is never over
If the party never stops!
NICK: (spoken)
And one fine morning so we beat on!
Boates against the current!
Borne back ceaselessly into the past!
ENSEMBLE:
(Loud, no longer layering Nick)
Where's the party
And can you take me there?
And when the parties over
Can you find another party somewhere?
We live for today,
We pay off the cops!
And when you think the party stops-!
The parties roaring on!
The parties roaring on!
And we'll beat on
And on and on and on
And on!
And on!
And on!
And on!

Roaring On
Sophisticated
My Share of the Heavens
For Her
Valley of Ashes
For Better or Worse
Only Tea
My Green Light
Better Hold Tight
Past Is Catching Up to Me
Go
Valley of Ashes (reprise)
For Better or Worse (reprise)
For Her (reprise)
Beautiful Little Fool
Finale Roaring On
