Lyrics Suspend My Disbelief/I Had A Life - Original Cast Recording

If there′s anything left I can do
To convince myself it could be true
It's up to me to suspend my disbelief
If there′s even one thing left to try
I don't even need to know why
It's just relief to suspend my disbelief
How can it be?
It must be true
This thing I feel, I know it′s you
It′s a chance in a million, I know
But I'll take it before I let go
And admit defeat, I′ll suspend my disbelief
How could she know?
It must be real
I know it's you, I know how it feels
Suspend my disbelief
How can you believe some fortune teller from Spanish Harlem
Who shows up at your door?
I sat there and watched, she was talking to him
I don′t buy it Moll, not for a minute
Carl, she knew things, I know they were true
What kinda things?
A photo Sam took as we rode the bus into Reno
We were all alone, just us
It's something no one would know
And the Starfish at Montego Bay
Look, she said that Sam knows who killed him
That he was set up, murdered
This is getting deranged, your going off the deep end here
She had a name, an address, a complete ID
(Good Molly, good)
Willie Lopez, 321 Prospect Place, Apartment 4D
She said Sam wants me to go to the police
The police, Molly, Jesus, what are you gonna tell ′em?
Some storefront phsycic's been getting messages from the dead
Carl I know, I know it sounds crazy, but you've gotta trust her
(Suspend my disbelief)
Stop, stop it, this is sick, it′s really sick
(Suspend my disbelief)
This woman′s a joke, look at you, you've gotta let go
(Suspend my disbelief)
When it′s over, it's over
(I know you′re here)
None of it's real
(It must be you)
You′ve got to heal
(I know what I feel)
It's part of the deal
(I know that it's real)
Look, if it makes you feel any better I′ll go check it out, okay?
Really, Carl, thank you, I appreciate that
But I am going to the police
Nah, I wouldn′t do that, not just yet
I'll call you tomorrow, I promise
I′m gonna do this Carl
(Now)
I don't believe it, it′s so sad (More)
Where are the good times we once had? (Best)
Such a high that we were on (Deal)
I can't believe that it′s all gone (Life)
(Now)
How could this happen?
We were friends (More)
Thought we had something that never ends (Best)
We'll get over it somehow (Deal)
All we've got is here and now (Now)
It′s a misunderstanding (Here right now, here right now)
It′s a misunderstanding (Here right now, here right now)
(Be careful Carl, this guy's dangerous)
Carl, what you doing here?
Who you been talking to?
Talking to?
Estas loco hombre, what the hell do you mean?
Some fortune teller woman knows all about you
Everything, where′s she getting it from, huh?
(Carl!)
I aint said a word to anybody!
She knows your name god damn it, she knows where you live
A lot of women know where I live
This isn't a joke man, she knows about the money
(You bastard)
Now I want you to find this bitch, whoever she is
And you just, look, you just get rid of her, okay?
I′ve got ten million dollars stuck in that god damn computer
I don't get those codes, that money′s not transferred soon
I'm dead, we're both dead
These are big drug dealers
Why don′t you tell them that you, ah
You only loan the money on the first of the month?
You don′t screw with them, man, they'll take us down like that
What is wrong with you, is everything a joke?
You killed the man
I mean what the hell didn′t you understand, Willie?
You were supposed to steal his wallet (I had a life)
You killed the man
Oh, oh, was that a joke? (I had it all)
I did you a favour man
(That... that was a freebie)
From such a height
(Jesus, you are such an asshole, Willie!)
But so far to fall
(I won't screw this, so just keep your mouth shut, okay?)
You took all I had
(I risked everything here, my job, my life)
Torn apart at the seams
(A million dollars of that money goes to us)
(You know, you can′t get a cut of nothing)
(Now just give me Sam's key, okay?)
You′ve taken from me everything that I see
(I'll go get that address book myself)
You've stolen the dreams
I had a life, I had it all
From such a height, but so far to fall
You took all I had, torn apart at the seams
You′ve taken from me everything I see
You′ve stolen my dreams
I had a life
(If there is anything more I can do)
I had it all
(I'll do it and find my way back to you)
From such a height
(Suspend my disbelief)
It′s so far to fall
I gave you all I had
(If there's even one thing left to try)
Torn apart at the seams
(I don′t even need to know why)
You've taken from me and forsaken me
(Suspend my disbelief)
And stolen my dreams
Yes! (No)
We′re just playing a numbers game (More)
Every second the numbers change (Last)
This is what I live to feel (Life)
It's the beauty of the deal (Deal)
(No)
This is the essence of high finance (Yes)
So many steps when you do this dance (Move)
This is always such a rush (Rush)
Making millions with one touch
New York, New York, New York (New York)
The city that knows everything
Where and when, who and what (New York)
And which and why and how
New York
It'll give you everything
Think it, dream it, hey, you got it
Here right now
Tony, this is Carl
I′ve got the codes, I′m all set
Hey, we're fine, everything′s fine
You just tell me what you want me to do
Okay, transfer the money into a single account under the name...
Rita Miller
Account number
92-63-10-43, is that right?
Friday, 4:30pm, transfer the full account to 1st Island Bank at Nassau
Yeah, Rita Miller, yeah, this Friday!
Hey, don't worry about it, I′m on it
Call you when it's done
A-a-and tell Mr Ballastrary I′m sorry for all that happened
It won't happen again, there won't be any more problems
I had a life (If there is anything more I can do)
I had it all (I′ll do it and find my way back to you)
From such a height (Suspend my disbelief)
It′s so far to fall (It was a misunderstanding)
I gave you all that I had, not a lot it seems
(If there's even one thing left to try, I don′t even need to know why)
You've taken from me and forsaken me
And broken my dreams
I had a life (It was a misunderstanding)
(Here right now)
I had it all (Hearts unified)
(It′s here right now)
From such a height (Don't go now)
So far to fall
(It′s all here right now)
I thought you'd understand
But I was blind to see
It's all I know, there′s nothing you′ll own, nothing's for free
I had a life (This is the life)
(This is the way we′re driven) (Here right now)
I had the time (This is the time)
(This is the chance we're given) (Here right now)
I had a life!
