"Did You See That" lyrics
(from "Stiletto" soundtrack)
[Duchessa Pisani:]
Did you see that?!
[Guest trio:]
I did I did
At least I think I did
[Prevosto & Gasparini:]
Did you see that?!
[Guest trio:]
I did
I can't believe my eyes I did
[Zuliani:]
Did you see that
Is he dead?
[Duchessa Pisani:]
I think he is
It's a tragedy
It's dreadful
[Zuliani:]
Yes, regretful
Word is sure to spread
That he certainly is dead
But an accidental
[Prevosto:]
Murder!
[Duchessa Pisani:]
Not a murder
[Ensemble:]
Oh, someone do something
Don't just stand there!
Oh, what difference does it make
He's dead
Should we care?
[Prevosto:]
That girl will hang
(Hang)
[Duchessa Pisani:]
Don't be too sure
(Sure)
[Zuliani:]
That girl will
[Ensemble:]
Hang
[Pietro:] Luigi, fetch the nightwatchman! Go!
[Luigi:] Why?
[Pietro:] Because a man has been murdered!
[Luigi:] It might have been an accident
[Pietro:] His Eminence lies dead, and that girl stood clutching a bloodied stiletto!
[Luigi:] Why on earth would she kill him?
[Pietro:] I'm trying to save the reputation of this house!
[Luigi:] Stop it, Pietro!
[Pietro:] You, there, Fetch the Watchman, GO!
The servant exits at speed
Dear friends, be kind and leave us
[Luigi:] What?
[Pietro:] Allow us to deal with this terrible event in the proper fashion
[Luigi:] No! Please, wait!
[Pietro:] We won't inconvenience you any further. Goodnight, all of
You!
The guests don't know whether to leave or go
[Luigi:] Let's hear exactly what they saw. They witnessed it
[Pietro:] I witnessed it!
[Luigi:] You didn't, Pietro! We came in after –
[Pietro:] Christ! What's wrong with you? Anyone would think you're trying to protect the murderer!
[Luigi:] Please, Speak up! Why will none of you speak. You then, up there, you must have seen everything. Speak up, man!
[Servant:] He can't, sir. He's as dumb as a rock
[Watchman:] I understand my assistance is required
[Pietro:] Yes, come, Watchman. See – our poor friend has been murdered
Now the authorities have arrived, everything will be handled properly. Dear friends, leave us. This case is cut and dry
Officer, we know who the culprit is. We'll catch her together if we move quickly
[Luigi:] Damn you, Pietro
[Servant 1:]
Did you see that?!
[Servant ensemble:]
I did I did I did
I know I did
[Servant 2:]
Did you see that
[Servant ensemble:]
I wonder where that pretty girl has hid
[Servant 3:]
Did you see that
[Servant 1:]
And you know what they will do
What they'd do to me and you
[Servant 2:]
They always do
[Servant 3:]
They blame away
[Servant ensemble:]
They lie
[Servant 1:]
They don't need a reason why
They will sell her down the river
[Servant 2:]
God forgive her
[Servant ensemble:]
Oh, we cannot save ourselves or save her
Oh, they'll track her down and then enslave her
[Servant 1:]
That girl is damned
(Damned)
[Servant 2:]
Can you be sure?
(Sure)
[Servant 1:]
That girl is damned
(Damned)
[Guests, servants, the night watchman and Luigi:]
These are their ways
Silence is gold
Nobody knows where the truth lies
Trapped in a maze
Trail will go cold
Nightmares will vanish by sunrise
Who lives
Who dies
Time and again
You may ask about sin
They will deflect
Wear a mask with a grin
Money and charm
Power's the prize
They'll paint your grey with their blue skies
Damn the alarm
Muffle the cries
They say who lives who dies
(Who lives, who dies, who lives)
(Lives, dies, lives)
Who dies
(Who lives, who dies, who lives)
(Lives, dies, lives)
Who dies
(Who lives, who dies, who lives)
(Lives, dies, lives)
Who dies
(Dies)
