Fight, fight, go Athens go.
What a joke. That much I know.
Seems so strange, now it’s suddenly so complex,
And I have no clue
What comes next.
Maybe just some more time, just a little more fight,
Like they say, no guts, no glory.
All and all I did fine or maybe I’m like a hundred miles off course,
Well, maybe that was too much, maybe not enough.
Maybe I should just turn back now.
Cuz’ how do I go on
When everything’s so wrong.
Where am I now?
How am I here?
Which way do I turn
When it’s all so unclear?
I’m standing alone
With nothing but fear.
Where am I now
Now that I’m here?
All I wanted was to win
Just to feel how it might feel
Just to say for once we did it.
Just to open my eyes and see something different than before
So, maybe that was too much
Maybe too big a dream
Too late to turn back now. So how do I go on
When everything’s so wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong?
Where am I now?
How am I here?
Which way do I turn
When it’s all so unclear?
Please give me a sign.
Will an answer appear?
Where am I now
Now that I’m here?
Is this all there really is?
Just endless days of making do?
Putting up with second best,
Always wanting something new?
Wanting something better
To shake me to my core
Something magic, something more
I want more.
I want more.
Where am I now?
Where am I now?
I’m standing alone
With nothing but fear.
Please give me a sign.
Will an answer appear?
Where am I now?
Where am I now?
Where am I now?

As opposed to always travelling underneath the ground?

Lysistrata Jones is a musical comedy adaptation of Aristophanes' comedy Lysistrata. The book is by Douglas Carter Beane and the score is by Lewis Flinn. After a critically acclaimed off-Broadway run with Transport Group Theatre Company, the show opened on Broadway in December 2011 and closed in January 2012. The show tells the tale of the men on a losing college basketball team whose cheerleader girlfriends refuse to have sex with them until they win a game.
The plot of the musical is inspired by the plot of the ancient Greek play Lysistrata, with some artistic liberties to bring the story in to the 21st century. In the original play, Lysistrata leads the women of Athens to stop having sex with their husbands and lovers until the long-lasting Peloponnesian War is finally ended.
