Testo Losing My Religion - Anthony Rapp

Testo della canzone Losing My Religion (Anthony Rapp), tratta dall'album Without You (A Musical Memoir)

There is no future
There is no past
I stood at 44th Street and looked at my watch
Fuck
No way was I gonna be on time for my audition
Twenty minutes late, I arrived at the New York Theatre Workshop
"Sorry!"
I jumped up on the stage and sang
Oh, life
Is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
I had read somewhere that in the South
Where REM was from
"Losing your religion" meant falling in love
I wasn't trying to sing it to anyone in particular
But to everyone
Consider this
Consider this the hint of the century
Consider this the slip that brought me to my knees
Pill
What if all these fantasies come flailing around?
And now I've said
Too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why, try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream
"Thanks!"
That was the director, Michael Greif
Was that it?
Auditions always ended so quickly
"I wanna introduce you to Johnathan Larson
He's the writer of the show."
Johnathan, a young looking tall guy
With ears that stuck out a bit too much
Was all hunched up in his seat
Chewing on a pencil
"You were in Dazed and Confused, weren't you?
I loved that movie."
Thanks
Michael handed me a cassette and some sheet music
"We'd like you to come back and sing the title song."
Sure
This couldn't have come at a better moment
It was September, 1994
And I just begun my first ever "survival job."
Since moving to New York, five years earlier
Pouring decaf
Double tall
Skin
No whip mochas at Starbucks
Acting work had dried up over the past year
And I was now more broke than ever
