Season 3

3.01: ANNE

One-room livin' downtown L.A.
Slingin’ pie cause I ran away
In a waitress uniform with a name-tag lie
There’s people all around me but I don’t look em in the eye
Yeah yeah yeah

Had too many of these bad dreams
Dread unshakeable memories
And it seems like I won’t find the peace I need
Cause even when i’m hiding out the lost ones come to me
Yeah yeah yeah

Came here just to be alone
But I wonder what it’s like at home
Yeah the sirens keep me up all night
Wherever I go, my fight’s still there to fight

So I followed them underground
Found myself on the long way down
And I got my fight back cuttin' demons up
Yeah it still hurts but it don’t tear me up now quite as much
Yeah yeah yeah

Came here just to be alone
But I’m happy to be going home
Yeah the sirens kept me up all night
Wherever I go, my fight’s still there to fight

You can’t be no one
if someone
will fight for you

3.02: DEAD MAN'S PARTY

Mom brought home a mask, fresh from the gallery
I think it's possessed but she thinks it's nice

All my friends are out cruisin' the alleyways
Are they glad I'm back, or they tellin lies?

I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Inside I just feel so black and blue
I'm not really in a party mood
The zombies just got here
And I don't wanna be rude

There's a zombie cat down with the dinner plates
And now neighbor Pat brought schnapps to share

Mom said that they met at book club
Seems legit to me

Willow’s flippin out, Xander oughta shut his mouth
Giles found the key and hates Americans

I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Inside I just feel so black and blue
I'm not really in a party mood
The zombies just got here
And I don't wanna be rude

Coming home is hard, but it's where I belong
Oh hey here's a shovel, BLAM! it's in her eyes

Sorry mom I never wanted
To kill your friend Pat

BA DA DA DA DA DOP
BOP BOP BA DOP

3.03: FAITH, HOPE & TRICK

Back to school and that Snyder’s still gunnin for me
Yeah I’m here but I can’t say I’m here totally
Cause I feel like the whole world is trapped behind glass
I keep trying to get through but I get nowhere fast

Outside the Bronze, someone’s doppelgänging me
Why’s she slayin my vamps and callin me B?

The good fight, out all night, it keeps me high
A short fuse, I can’t lose, I’m five by five
All I need is some red lipstick and just a little luck
When I get done slaying, gotta eat and maybe --

Fuck, Scott wants to date me, wants to claddagh and chill
But I’m too scared to feel all the things that I will

The last boy that I loved left a lot to unpack
Had to send him to hell, now he’ll never come back
But boys are just fun-machines! Boys are a snack!

The good fight, out all night, it keeps me high
A short fuse, I can’t lose, I’m five by five
You should really try to loosen up and find a little fun
If you focus on the right-now there’s no feeling that you can’t outrun

I know a thing or two about private pain
the look I see in your eyes is just the same
as mine, as mine

You’re dead right, the good fight is all I have
I’m not half as hard as I like to act
I been fighting on my own for so long, forget how this works
Usually I'm gone before I care enough to hurt

I watched my friend face her demons, and it gave strength to me
guess it’s time that i finally come clean

3.04: BEAUTY AND THE BEASTS

Tell it straight, tell it true
long-gone love come back to you
well it only make you lonely
I been down that very well
kissed the bottom, live to tell
and it only left me lonely

It isn’t like I asked for this
Bury me beneath the weight of what I used to miss
I’ll be digging out forever now from under it
Tugging on a thread that run me round and round
Turn me inside out

Funny how you think you know
what you feel and what you don’t
well you just might catch a surprise
Wind is calm, water smooth
but a longing deep inside of you
that’s been sleeping might come creeping

It isn’t like I asked for this
Bury me beneath the weight of what I used to miss
I’ll be digging out forever now from under it
Tugging on a thread that run me round and round
Turn me inside out

3.05: HOMECOMING

Don’t fuck with me this week Cordelia
Got campaign paraphernalia
you’ve never seen; my inner prom queen
can sweep and dust and mop the floor with you
poach those votes and still have time to do
homework and slay, oh how you’ll pay

Well tonight is the night
paper streamers, twinkle lights
limo ride, and surprise
Hey we’re finally at the… woods?
VCR and a tape
that some business vampire made
Instead of Homecoming
we’re running in SlayerFest 98

Being hunted with Cordelia
She ain’t gonna make this easier
Won’t stand a chance
‘less she gets mad
Then if you’re evil, yeah she’ll whack at ya
with a wooden handled spatula
Gorches beware! ...oh hey how’s my hair

Well we didn’t win
Stupid homecoming
But we did win

at spending quality time and learning about one another’s strengths and weaknesses and deepening our friendship

3.06: BAND CANDY

I fight demons and monsters
But this one scared me right out my wits:
Evil haunted-ass chocolate
Made my mom and my watcher kiss

Band candy!

This is disturbing, and I’m very upset. I may never recover. Oh god.

Here come Principal Snyder
Even worse when he’s seventeen
Though we didn’t invite him
He’s hopping into the geek machine

Band candy!

Okay Buffy: focus, focus, focus. You've got a lot of therapy in your future, but that's not the issue. Right now, you've gotta defeat some evil.

Ethan is back in town
Chaos is “Rayne”-ing down
And I think Giles is wearing eyeliner
Heeeeeeelp

Demon snake in the basement
Eating babies like cocoa puffs
Jesus Christ oh my god mom
Why the hell did you have handcuffs

Band candy!
Band candy!

3.07: REVELATIONS

I been
hangin around with a new friend
I wouldn’t say that we’re dating
but we go slaying a lot

All these feelings
Keeping the secrets from my friends
Angel’s shacked up at Vamp Mansion
I should be good but I’m not

I been walking a crooked line
Makin messes with my exes
Catches up to me every time
Why’d I make it so complicated
but from the wreck comes a revelation

Oh no
Caught in a romantic limbo
If Angel could just keep his shirt closed
we could all focus on work

Screw this
Gwendolyn Post typa nonsense
To hell with her pearls and her teabags
+ she’s so mean to Giles - what a jerk!

When you’re walking a crooked line
Evil watcher, we almost gotcha
Catches up to you every time
Always make it so complicated
but from the wreck comes a revelation

Gwendolyn
Absorbing all that lightning
Into the glove of Myneghon
til I sliced off her arm

Faith’s got
something to say to me, but what
could she have to say to me I thought
we trusted each other a lot (sigh)

When you’re walking a crooked line
being a slayer has got its layers
Catches up to you every time
Always make it so complicated
but from the wreck comes a revelation

3.08: LOVER’S WALK

Spike needs a love spell like right now
He wants what he wants and he don’t care how
Drunk as vamp metabolism will allow
Spike needs a love spell like right now

Abracadabra, alakazam!

eye of rat, essence of violet
cloves and some runic tablets
skink root, canary feather
rosethorn, mix em all together

Spike needs a love spell like real quick
Dru made out with a Chaos Demon, holy shit!
So he kidnapped Willow cause she knows magic
Spike needs a love spell lickety split

Abracadabra, alakazam!

eye of rat, essence of violet
cloves and some runic tablets
skink root, canary feather
rosethorn, mix em all together

Spike needs a love spell so he thought
Couldn’t hear over the beating of his broken heart
Love without a soul can still be really hard
Spike needs a love spell so he thought

Abracadabra, alakazam!

eye of rat, essence of violet
cloves and some runic tablets
skink root, canary feather
rosethorn, mix em all together

3.09: THE WISH

Up in the cemetery every evening
Been slaying some vampires in Cleveland
Shout if you feel how I’m feeling
Just a vampire slayer in Cleveland
(vampire slayer in Cleveland)

I don’t have much to believe in
No friends and no family in Cleveland
Just a whole lotta death I been dealing
to the vampires living in Cleveland
(vampire slayer in Cleveland)

Oh, when I go out on patrol
Oh, I’m the loneliest girl in Ohio

The rust belt hellmouth is seething
in the slumbering dark heart of Cleveland
All manner of evil come creepin
To the vampire slayer in Cleveland
(vampire slayer in Cleveland)

Oh, my whole life’s one long patrol
Oh, and every single night I have to go

check The Grog Shop, and Great Lakes Brewing, and Tommy’s on Coventry
The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame and the shores of Lake Erie
and don’t forget the labyrinth of Cleveland’s back alleys

I never dream about leaving
cause my calling has bound me to Cleveland
For the rest of the days that I’m breathing
I’ll be a vampire slayer in Cleveland
(vampire slayer in Cleveland x 4)

3.10: AMENDS

So here we are in December
the end of another year
Sometimes it’s hard to remember
that you belong here
Cause I know the voices outside of yourself
are telling you things that aren’t true
But when the grey comes in December
I’ll be here tellin you to

keep
holding on
holding on

When something becomes so familiar
it can be hard to let go
You’re lookin for something to fill you
what it should be, you don’t know
Look to the people that know who you are
we’re already waiting for you
Warm lights and snowfall to still ou
head for the home that you choose

and
keep
holding on
holding on
holding on
holding on

3.11: GINGERBREAD

My mom lost her mind this week
She tried out mob mentality
She’s a natural cuz she’s very strong
In this case oh god she was really wrong

All the Moo Moms say:
Well, well, well you’re goin to hell
Cuz you’re not like us and we can tell
We’ll take your magic, burn your books
Cuz we don’t like your witchy looks
Since we’ve got a roaring blaze
We may as well burn you at the stake
MOO - moo, moo, moo - MOO

Your mom likes psychology
Won’t listen, she just spouts theory
But this week she’s paying attention
To groundings and parental fascism

Perhaps the biggest casualty in this whole kerfluffle is Amy
She’s a rat, she’s a rat, she’s a rat

3.12: HELPESS

I don’t know anything anymore

Waiting for someone to call me
Waiting for someone to call

I don’t know who you think you are
But you’re nothing like how I thought you were
I don’t know who you think you are
But you’re nothing like how I thought you were

I don’t know anything anymore

Aching for someone to find me
Aching for someone to find

I don’t know who you think you are
But you’re nothing like how I thought you were
I don’t know who you think you are
But you’re nothing like how I thought you were

I don’t know anything anymore

3.13: THE ZEPPO

Lousy at football, I can’t cast a spell, I got no superpowers to date
I’ll make the donut run, and try to bring the fun, that’s how I’m pulling my weight

la la la, la la la, wonder what Buffy would say
la la la, la la la, if she knew what happened today

I accidentally fell in with some zombies who just want to bake up a cake
Giles don’t you need me, can anyone see me and help me escape from the fate
Of a wheel man for this undead crew hell-bent on exploding the school
They want my loyalty, I want camaraderie but don’t wanna die to be cool

la la la, la la la, don’t know what Willow would say
la la la, la la la, if she knew what happened today

Sometimes the only way you can go is off on your own, you stand up alone
but using the strength you get from your friends, you learn who you are and so it begins

la la la, la la la, Angel wants me outta harm’s way
la la la, la la la, don’t tell him what happened today

oh hey and by the way, I spent some time with Faith, and I would like to posit
Despite what the writers say, I would have found my way with OR without that incident!

la la la, la la la, don’t know what my friends would say
la la la, la la la, if they knew what happened today

3.14: BAD GIRLS

I’m going down, are you coming in
there’s two of us, and a ton of them
I live for blood and adrenaline
Turn them to dust but it never ends
If you’re going down guess I’m coming in

I’ve been good, you know I think
I’ve saved the world enough

Bad girls, bad girls, two’s better than one
Bad girls, bad girls, just tryna get some
If you don’t enjoy the work, girlfriend, you’re doing it wrong
Bad girls, bad girls, just wanna have fun

I’m going off in The Bronze tonight
I’m cashing in on what’s always been mine
Haven’t felt this good in a long time
Yeah I knew you’d like it on the dark side
I’m getting lost at The Bronze tonight

You’ve been good for far way too long
You know it’s not enough

Bad girls, bad girls, two’s better than one
Bad girls, bad girls, just tryna get some
What’s a crime, anything is mine; want, take, have
Bad girls, bad girls, just wanna be bad

Bad girls, bad girls
Bad girls, bad girls

Bad girls, bad girls, two’s better than one
Bad girls, bad girls, just tryna get some
What’s a crime, anything is mine; want, take, have
Bad girls, bad girls, just wanna be bad

Bad girls, bad girls, two’s better than one
Bad girls, bad girls, just tryna get some
If you don’t enjoy the work, girlfriend, you’re doing it wrong
Bad girls, bad girls, just wanna have fun

3.15: CONSEQUENCES

Nobody can tell you what to do
But I don’t wanna watch the deeper darker get ahold of you
Dodge it for a while, you’ll still get bit
It’s only gonna eat you up if you hold onto it

Hard is hard and right is right
You can’t just bury it inside
Sometimes the truth will be the demon that you fight
Cause hard is hard and right is right

Maybe it’s the very hardest thing
Trying to understand the truth, and then who you can trust with it
I know that the world we live in now
Is made to make you feel like you can’t speak up anyhow

Hard is hard and right is right
You can’t just bury it inside
Sometimes the truth will be the demon that you fight
Cause hard is hard and right is right

Feeling like you’re out here on your own
But everything you’re facing, you don’t have to face alone
Ready for whatever you need me to do
Even if it’s only just to listen and believe you

Hard is hard and right is right
I’m your partner in this fight
We won’t give up on you, you’re strong and full of light
Cause hard is hard and right is right

3.16: DOPPELGÄNGLAND

Well, you’ll never believe it but this wild thing happened:
Vampire Willow showed up from a different dimension
When we first saw the double, she avoided detection
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

See I accidentally hurt her feelings with Xander
Had this whole exchange involving Old Yeller
Then we saw her at the Bronze in full-body leather
but we didn’t know that we had the wrong Willow

2-for-1 Willows this week, it’s a doppelgänger hootenanny

Things got more confusing when she showed us her vamp face
Sent us crying to our library safe space and we
Broke it to giles that our friend was a memory
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

But when the Willow we know came in, our brains couldn’t hold it
Turns out that Anya did some temporal folding
And she went necklace-fishing but she reeled in a hellion
Who seems kind of gay in that lady-lickin way

3.17 ENEMIES

I can’t really say I never trusted you
that wouldn’t be right but
how can anybody feel close to you
Indefinitely

Never go looking for what you can’t find
Doesn’t feel right but
guess we’re goin separate ways
Tonight

How could you and me, you and me
ever be ever be enemies
You and me, you and me
I thought you and me, you and me
could never be never be enemies
You and me, you and me

I can’t really figure out where we went wrong
Shoulda said something else
Maybe I coulda done some of these things
Differently

Couldn’t handle half a dose
of you being so stone cold
Thought I was invincible
but I was wrong

How could you and me, you and me
ever be ever be enemies
You and me, you and me
I thought you and me, you and me
could never be never be enemies
You and me, you and me

I can’t really say I never trusted you
How can anybody feel close to you

How could you and me, you and me
ever be ever be enemies
You and me, you and me
I thought you and me, you and me
could never be never be enemies
You and me, you and me

3.18: EARSHOT

Jonathan:
No one sees me, I’m right here
Might as well just disappear

Cordelia:
Can I go now? Can I go now?
Don’t know what this has to do with me

Oz:
If I am my thoughts, and my thoughts are me
Whose thinkin’ me in to reality

Buffy:
Oh my god, it’s a lot, gimme silence
So many voices in my head
Can’t shut it off, through the noise someone sayin’
Next day come and we’ll all be dead

Joyce:
Those handcuffs, that cop car
Long night I can’t forget…

Giles:
If she can’t heal, If she can’t heal,
If she can’t heal she will go insane

Murderous Lunch Lady:
Rat poison in their stew…

Buffy:
Oh my god, it’s a lot, gimme silence
So many voices in my head
Can’t shut it off, through the noise someone sayin’
Next day come and we’ll all be dead

Jonathan:
You can see me standing here,
I don’t have to disappear.

3.19 CHOICES

Hanging at the graveyard late last night
Slayin’ vamps with Angel and I’m feelin’ all right
You know I used to bring somebody else around here
But now she’s long gone and I never ever see her

I don’t know what I don’t know
I don’t know what I don’t know

The Mayor got a shipment of a big, black box
Unlatched, unlocked, by the name of Gavrok
Fulla demon spiders that are way too big
Far as Sunnydale mascots I preferred Herbert the pig

I don’t know what I don’t know
I don’t know what I don’t know

Breakin’ into City Hall we hit a snafu
But my boyfriend’s a detective and he doesn’t miss a clue
Willow she got kidnapped but found some first editions
Of step-by-step instructions for a mayor’s ascension

I don’t know what I don’t know
I don’t know what I don’t know

The cafeteria’s my favorite place to make a trade
But the Mayor thinks that me and Angel might not have it made
‘Cause we’re 226 years apart
And based on his experience that can be hard

I don’t know what I don’t know
I don’t know what I don’t know

3.20: THE PROM

If I can’t stop you from leaving
what am I gonna do, what am I gonna do
If I can’t stop you from leaving
what am I gonna do then
If I can’t stop you from leaving
what am I gonna do, what am I gonna do
If I can’t stop you from leaving
what am I gonna do then

3.21: GRADUATION DAY PART 1

It all comes down can’t get my head around
where I might be this time next week
And I get stuck pulling myself back up
I don’t know which way I should be

Only a matter of time, time, time
til the split works its way out from inside

Still right now, rooting my anger out
I wanna tell you I’m all right
But I can’t reach you and all I have left to do
is circle and spin, how can I choose

Only a matter of time, time, time
til the split works its way out from inside
Only a matter of time, time, time
til I split, I get broken all right right right
time, time

3.22: GRADUATION DAY PART 2

I tried to do what I thought was right
A life for a life
I came up empty handed tonight
Just can’t say goodbye
Cause I know I can’t get it back, can’t get it back if I let go right now
I know I won’t get it back won’t get it back if I say no

Yeah we might be young but we know what’s right
We’re here for the good fight
We each stand up to shine our light
We’re here for the good fight
We’re here for the good fight

Sometimes we’re all alone in the dark
Waiting for some spark
To light us up, our eyes will adjust
Dust to dust to dust
I know I can’t get it done can’t get it done without you by my side
I know I can’t get it done can’t get it done without the class of ‘99

<< CHORUS >>

I saw you in my dream last night
You told me what I need to win this fight
For you I dream a dream of life
For you I dream a dream of life

<< CHORUS >>
<< CHORUS >>
