Lyrics Beetlejuice Original Broadway Cast – No Reason

DELIA, sung:
The universe
Is more than just space with no end
La-la-la-la-la!

DELIA, spoken:
Life-coaching!
Nailing it!

DELIA, sung:
Time to take command
You dictate the hand
The universe deals
Look!
Science makes no sense
Who needs evidence?
Go with your feels
I’m like a radio
Tuned to the stars

LYDIA, spoken:
What are they saying?

DELIA, spoken:
Buy more crystals!

DELIA, sung:
Everything, everything happens for a reason
Be a beacon of light in the world
Put a little alright in the world
There is spiritual guides above
Look up and see ’em!
Perception is reality
Just listen to the melody the universe sings
‘Cause everything- everything happens for a reason

LYDIA, spoken:
Gee, I hate to break it to you

LYDIA, sung:
The universe is just the contents of time, matter and space

DELIA, spoken:
Yeah-

LYDIA, sung:
Ninety-one billion light-years across and the Earth’s a small place
Where good people die-

DELIA, spoken:
No-

LYDIA, spoken:
Yeah

LYDIA, sung:
In famine and wars
The Pacific Islands are sinking
But negative thinking is hardly the cause
You think life is all unicorns and rainbows ’cause you’re bored
And positivity is a luxury that few can afford

We’re gonna die
Yes, you and I
In meaninglessness and alone~

DELIA:
No no no!
No!
One day you may wake up alone

LYDIA, spoken:
Okay?

DELIA:
‘Cause your husband and his boyfriend bought a boat
And then they sailed away to Rome

LYDIA, spoken:
That’s specific

DELIA:
So you cry yourself to sleep in deep despair
Talking to the walls ’cause there’s no one there
And you have to buy a cat
‘Cause that’s your last chance to have a family
Take it from me!
That your aging ass will have to believe that-!

Everything- everything happens for a reason
Put some more fun in the world
A little «I AM STILL YOUNG» in the world
Be prepared to take your eggs and freeze ’em-

LYDIA, spoken:
Is this still about me?

DELIA:
‘Cause everything- everything happens

LYDIA:
Sounds like terrible things can happen
Because the universe is random

DELIA, spoken:
Yes, but

DELIA, sung:
Random for a reason!

LYDIA:
No reason!
