Start Over
Don price:
Edward’s not a savior
Edward’s not a saint
How can he be good for us?
He’s not the thing he says he ain’t
We can change our fate
You bet we can
We don’t need this interloping man

Edward:
I suggest that you
Start over

Don price:
"Now?"

Edward:
Start over

Don price:
"How?"

Edward:
Instead of drown
We move the town
And start over
Townsfolk:
"Wow."

Edward
You can sweat
You can fret
‘til we’re all soaking wet
‘cuz good god there’s a flood on the way
If you start over
Tomorrow begins today

Amos:
"I’ll tell ya, edward --"
When we met I lived a kind of secretive life
I was a mysterious man
After meeting you I met myself and my wife
All because you told me I can
You’re upset
You’re in need
I've got land
And a deed
You can have every weed
Every stone
You’re the only man who I would ever give a thing to
The truest friend that I've ever knowwwwn!
"You’ll love this land. Lotsa tasty rabbits!"

Edward:
"Thank you amos, thank you!"

Karl:
"Edward! When I met you, I was living in a cave."

You convinced me to
Start over
Start over

"We’d offset the construction costs by floating a thirty-year
Fixed-rate bond tied to the to the nikkei index."

"...I know a guy."

In a rush
You’ll be flush
I’ll get cash
But hush-hush
I won’t do this for just any joe
You can start over
And edward I’ll give you the dough

Edward:
"Thank you karl, thank you!"
I got you the land just over the hill
And money to build a new town

Zacky price:
Money to build a new town!?

Don price:
Money to build a new town!?

Townsfolk:
Money to build a new town!

All:
Start over
Start over
Instead of drown
We move the town
And start over
Men and women
We can sweat
We can fret
‘til we’re all soaking wet

Edward, don and zacky:
So you better believe what we say
If we start over tomorrow begins today

All:
Tomorrow begins today

Edward, don and zacky:
Tomorrow begins today

All:
Tomorrow begins
Tomorrow begins!
