Devil Take The Hindmost
Lyricist:Andrew Lloyd Webber, Glenn Evan Slater
RAOUL:Miss Giry! He's not Mephistopheles you know. When it comes down to it he's just another circus freak. I'm not afraid of him. ...No, it can't be... PHANTOM:Not afraid of me, you say? RAOUL:Stay back or I'll kill you, I promise you. PHANTOM: Insolent boy! You think you own more of her soul than I do? RAOUL: She is my wife. Your music may speak to her, but her heart will always follow me. PHANTOM: You think so? You really think so? Follow you, with all your... charms?
Look at you, deep in dept Stinking drunk, pitiful Shall we two make a bet? Devil take the hindmost.
RAOUL: Look at you, foul as sin Hideous, horrible Call the stakes, deal me in Devil take the hindmost
PHANTOM: Our Christine shall choose tonight RAOUL: Let her choose PHANTOM: Is she yours or mine? RAOUL: Draw the line PHANTOM: If she sings you lose tonight RAOUL: I won't lose PHANTOM: You leave from here RAOUL: Fine PHANTOM: Disappear RAOUL: Fine! And if she won't, if I win? PHANTOM: All your debts, wiped away RAOUL: Very well, let's begin BOTH: Devil take the hindmost
RAOUL: You think you have the odds, you think you're in control You think you've fixed the dice, well I will gladly roll I'll bet against the house, I'll even double down PHANTOM: Our old game, it's been changed Every throw, riskier All the rules, rearranged Fate has redesigned most
RAOUL: Fortune's on my side I won her long ago! I won her from you then Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I wager even now I'll win her back again And when the game is done PHANTOM: Cut the deck, let us play You and I, once again In the end, either way! BOTH: Devil take the hindmost!
Now Christine shall choose at last Is she yours or mine? RAOUL: We've a son, our bond's secure PHANTOM: Are you sure? RAOUL: What? PHANTOM: Are you so sure? RAOUL: What do you mean? PHANTOM: Such a child, strange to see Talented, musical Is he more you or me? Which one do you find most?
RAOUL: You lie! No woman could or ever would Love such a man, you're insane So now I play for my wife PHANTOM: Yet you won't doubt your wife Doubt your son, everything Now we play for your life BOTH: Devil take the hindmost
PHANTOM: Deal the cards, let them fall Choose your hand, try your best He who wins RAOUL: I call your bluff, the game is on And we will see who wins out Once and for all BOTH: Wins it all Devil take the hindmost
PHANTOM: She walks, you leave together Pockets full, debts paid. She sings, you leave alone. Devil take the hindmost RAOUL: My God. What have I done? I could lose her forever. My Christine!
