The Way Things Were (Reprise) is noticeably different from the song it's reprising, as it focuses on introspection rather than exposition. Here Phoenix and Maya learn the truth about Global Studios, and how Oldbag really feels.

| OLDBAG: | They say the world moves by so fast And once I was the fastest But lately my joints, they creak and ache And meanwhile the past is Fading ever further Out of sight and out of mind I just can’t seem to catch my breath I’m getting left behind Dear ol’ Hammer, my fading star I never held a single doubt To me he shined as bright as ever But now his star’s gone out And that wretched, wicked woman Over a five year old accident Yes, she rescued the studio But she brought on Hammer’s decent She stole away his stardom She stole away his soul She stole away his freedom No, everything, she stole This accursed, precious picture Is all that I have left to show The very thing that gave that witch her power It’s time to let it go… And the sun will rise And the moon will set The world goes on in a blur! While this old bag, slowly forgotten Though she fights with all she’s got, she knows… Things will never…no never again… Things will never be the way they were…! |
