Side Show: Like Everyone Else

What are your dreams? What are you longing for?
(VIOLET)
I want to be like everyone else,
So no one will point and stare.
To walk down the street not attracting attention,
No notice, no mention, no hint of despair.
A normal reaction, the standard response.
The same as everyone wants.
(DAISY)
I want to be like everyone else,
But richer, and more acclaimed.
Worshipped and celebrated, pampered and loved,
To see those who've laughed feeling ashamed.
A glorious, frantic, adoring response.
The same as everyone wants.
I'd go abroad, see all the sights, hear folks applaud,
Bow to the lights.
(VIOLET)
I'd settle down, never to roam,
Find a nice husband and home!
(BOTH)
I want to be like everyone else,
But not like my sister says.
(DAISY)
She wants stability-
(VIOLET)
She would like fame, I'd like serenity-
(DAISY)
Frenzied acclaim!
(BOTH)
Though we can't agree on a single response,
We want what everyone wants.
Only what everyone wants.
The same as everyone wants.
