Heaven On Their Minds # JUDAS : My mind is clearer now. At last all too well I can see where we all soon will be. If you strip away the myth from the man, You will see where we all soon will be. Jesus! You've started to believe The things they say of you. You really do believe This talk of God is true. All all the good you've done Will soon get swept away. You've begun to matter more than the things you say. Listen Jesus I don't like what I see. All I ask is that you listen to me. And remember, I've been your right hand man all along. You have set them all on fire. They think they've found the new Messiah, And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong. I remember when this whole thing began. No talk of God then, we called you a man. And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died. But every word you say today Get's twisted 'round some other way. And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied. Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown Like his father carving wood He'd have made good. Tables, chairs, and oaken chest would have suited Jesus best. He'd have caused nobody harm, no-one alarm. Listen Jesus, do you care for your race? Don't you see we must keep in our place? We are occupied; have you forgotten how put down we are? I am frightened by the crowd. For we are getting much too loud. And they'll crush us if we go too far. Listen Jesus, to the warning I give. Please remember that I want us to live. But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour. All your followers are blind. Too much heaven on their minds. It was beautiful but now it's sour. Yes it's all gone sour......
What's the Buzz # APOSTLES: What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening. # JESUS: Why should you want to know? Don't you mind about the future? Don't you try to think ahead? Save tomorrow for tomorrow. Think about today instead. # APOSTLES : What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening. # JESUS : I could give you facts and figures. I could give you plans and forecasts. Even tell you where I'm going. # APOSTLES : When do we ride into Jerusalem? # JESUS : Why should you want to know? Why are you obsessed with fighting Times and fates you can't defy? If you knew the path we're riding, You'd understand it less than I. # APOSTLES : What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening. # MARY MAGDALENE : Let me try to cool down your face a bit. # JESUS : That feels nice, so nice.... Mary that is good - While you prattle through your supper - Where and when and who and how She alone has tried to give me What I need right here and now. # APOSTLES : What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening. - Strange Thing Mystifying - # JUDAS : It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying That a man like you could waste his time on women of her kind. Yes, I can understand that she amuses, But to let her stroke you, kiss your hair, is hardly in your line. It's not that I object to her profession, But she doesn't fit in well, with what you teach and say. It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent. They only need a small excuse to put us all away. # JESUS : Who are you to criticize her? Who are you to despise her? Leave her, leave her let her be now. Leave her, leave her, she's with me now. If your slate is clean, then you can throw stones. If your slate is not, then leave her alone. I'm amazed that men like you can be so shallow, thick and slow. There is not a man among you who knows or cares if I come or go. # ALL (save Judas and Jesus) : No, you're wrong! You're very wrong! No, you're wrong, You're very wrong! How can you say that? How can you say that!? # JESUS : Not one, not one of you!
- Everything's Alright - # MARY MAGDALENE ; Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to Problems that upset you, oh.

Close your eyes, close your eyes And relax, think of nothing tonight. # APOSTLES' WIVES ; Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes. # JUDAS ; Woman your fine ointment, brand new and expensive Could have been saved for the poor. Why has it been wasted? We could have raised maybe Three hundred silver pieces or more. People who are hungry, people who are starving They matter more than your feet and hair. # MARY MAGDALENE ; Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to Problems that upset you, oh. Don't you know Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine, And we want you to sleep well tonight. Let the world turn without you tonight. If we try, we?l get by, so forget all about us tonight. # APOSTLES' WIVES ; Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes. # JESUS ; Surely you're not saying we have the resources To save the poor from their lot? There will be poor always, pathetically struggling Look at the good things you've got. Think while you still have me! Move while you still see me! You'll be lost, you'll be so sorry when I'm gone. # MARY MAGDALENE ; Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you... Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh. Then you'll feel Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine. And it's cool and the ointment's sweet For the fire in your head and feet. Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax.... # APOSTLES' WIVES ; Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes......

For the sake of the nation, this Jesus must die. # ALL (inside) ; Must die, must die, this Jesus must die. # CAIAPHAS ; So like John before him, this Jesus must die # ALL (inside) ; Must die, must die, this Jesus must, Jesus must, Jesus must die!

They should disperse. # CROWD ; Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna HoSanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna Hey JC, JC you're alright by me. Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar # JESUS ; Why waste your breath moaning at the crowd? Nothing can be done to stop the shouting. If every tongue were still the noise would still continue.

- Simon Zealotes - # CROWD ; Christ you know I love you Did you see I waved? I believe in you and God So tell me that I'm saved. Christ you know I love you. Did you see I waved? I believe in you and God So tell me that I'm saved. Jesus I am with you. Touch me, touch me, Jesus. Jesus I am on your side. Kiss me, kiss me, Jesus. # SIMON ZEALOTES ; Christ, what more do you need to convince you That you've made it, and you're easily as strong As the filth from Rome who rape our country, And who've terrorized our people for so long. # CROWD ; Christ you know I love you Did you see I waved? I believe in you and God So tell me that I'm saved. Christ you know I love you. Did you see I waved? I believe in you and God So tell me that I'm saved. Jesus I am with you. Touch me, touch me, Jesus. Jesus I am on your side. Kiss me, kiss me, Jesus. # SIMON ZEALOTES ; There must be over fifty thousand Screaming love and more for you. Everyone of fifty thousand Would do whatever you asked them to. Keep them yelling their devotion, But add a touch of hate at Rome. You will rise to a greater power. We will win ourselves a home. You will get the power and the glory. Forever and and ever and ever. (repeat) Amen! Amen! - Poor Jerusalem - # JESUS ; Neither you, Simon, nor the fifty thousand, Nor the Romans, nor the Jews, Nor Judas, nor the twelve, Nor the priests, nor the scribes, Nor doomed Jerusalem itself, Understand what power is, Understand what glory is, Understand at all..... Understand at all. If you knew all that I knew, my poor Jerusalem, You'd see the truth, but you close your eyes... But you close your eyes. While you live your troubles are many, poor Jerusalem. To conquer death, you only have to die.... You only have to die.
- Pilate's Dream - # PILATE ; I dreamed I met a Galilean, A most amazing man. He had that look you rarely find, The haunted, hunted kind. I asked him to say what had happened, How it all began I asked again - he never said a word. As if he hadn't heard. And next, the room was full of wild and angry men. They seemed to hate this man. They fell on him him, and then, They disappeared again. Then I saw thousands of millions Crying for this man And then I heard then mentioning my name, And leaving me the blame.
- The Temple - # MONEYCHANGERS and MERCHANTS ; Roll on up, for my price is down. Come on in for the best in town. Take your pick on the finest wine Lay your bets on this bird of mine. Roll on up, for my price is down. Come on in for the best in town. Take your pick on the finest wine Lay your bets on this bird of mine. Name your price. I got everything. Come and buy. It's all going fast. Borrow cash on the finest terms. Hurry now while stocks last. # JESUS ; My temple should be a house of prayer, But you have made it a den of thieves. Get out! Get out! My time is almost through. Little left to do. After all, I've tried for three years Seems like thirty...Seems like thirty. # CROWD ; See my eyes, I can hardly see. See me stand I can hardly walk. I believe you can make me whole See my tongue, I can hardly talk. See my skin, I'm a mass of blood. See my legs, I can hardly stand. I believe you can make me well. See my purse, I'm a poor, poor man. Will you touch, will you mend me Christ? Won't you touch, will you heal me Christ? Will you kiss, you can cure me Christ! Won't you kiss, won't you pay me Christ? (repeat) # JESUS ; There's too many of you...Don't push me. There's too little of me...Don't crowd me. Heal yourselves!

- I Don't Know How To Love Him - # MARY MAGDALENE ; I don't know how to love him. What to do, how to move him. I've been changed, yes, really changed. In these past few days, when I've seen myself, I seem like someone else. I don't know how to take this. I don't see why he moves me. He's a man. He's just a man. And I've had so many many men before, In very many ways. He's just one more. Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout? Should I speak of love, Let my feelings out? I never thought I'd come to this. What's it all about? Don't you think it's rather funny, I should be in this position. I'm the one who's always been So calm, so cool, no lover's fool. Running every show. He scares me so. I never thought I'd come to this. What's this all about? Yet, if he said he loved me, I'd be lost. I'd be frightened. I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope. I'd turn my head. I'd back away. I wouldn't want to know. He scares me so. I want him so. I love him so.
- Damned for All Time - # JUDAS ; Now if I help you, it matters that you see These sordid kinda things are coming hard to me. It's taken me some time to work out what to do. I weighed the whole thing out before I came to you. I had no thought of my own reward. I really didn't come here of my own accord. Just don't say I'm damned for all time. I came because I had to; I'm the one who saw. Jesus can't control me like he did before. And furthermore I know that Jesus thinks so too. Jesus wouldn't mind that I was here with you. I had no thought at all about my own reward. I really didn't come here of my own accord. Just don't say I'm damned for all time. Annas, you're a friend, a worldly man and wise. Caiaphas, my friend, I know you sympathize. Why are we the prophets? Why are we the ones Who see the sad solution - know what must be done? I had no thought at all about my own reward. I really didn't come here of my own accord. Just don't say I'm damned for all time. # ANNAS ; Cut the protesting, forget the excuses. We want information. Get up off the floor. # CAIAPHAS ; We have the papers we need to arrest him. You know his movements. We know the law. # ANNAS ; Your help in the matter won't go unrewarded. # CAIAPHAS ; We'll pay you in silver, cash on the nail. We just need to know where the soldiers can find him... # ANNAS ; With no crowd around him.... # CAIAPHAS ; Then we can't fail. - Blood Money - # JUDAS ; I don't need your blood money! # CAIAPHAS ; Oh, that doesn't matter, our expenses are good. # JUDAS ; I don't want your blood money! # ANNAS ; But you might as well take it. We think that you should. # CAIAPHAS ; Think of the things you could do with that money, Choose any charity - give to the poor. We've noted your motives. We've noted your feelings. This isn't blood money - it's a ... # ANNAS ; a fee...... # CAIAPHAS ; A fee nothing more. # JUDAS ; On Thursday night you'll find him where you want him: Far from the crowd, in the Garden of Gethsemane. # TEMPTRESSES ; Well done Judas. Good old Judas.
= 2막 = - The Last Supper - # APOSTLES : Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine. Don't disturb me now, I can see the answers Till this evening is this morning life is fine. Always hoped that I'd be an apostle. Knew that I could make it if I tried. Then when we retire, we can write the Gospels, So they'll all talk about us when we've died. # JESUS : The end..... Is just a little harder when brought about by friends. For all you care, this wine could be my blood. For all you care, this bread could be my body. The end! This is my blood you drink. This is my body you eat. If you would remember me when you eat and drink. I must be mad thinking I'll be remembered. Yes, I must be out of my head. Look at you blank faces. My name will mean nothing Ten minutes after I'm dead. One of you denies me. One of you betrays me. # APOSTLES : No! Who would?! Impossible! # JESUS : Peter will deny me in just a few hours. Three times will deny me And that's not all I see. One of you here dining, One of my twelve chosen Will leave to betray me. # JUDAS : Cut out the dramatics! You know very well who. # JESUS : Why don't you go do it? # JUDAS : You want me to do it!? # JESUS : Hurry, they are waiting. # JUDAS : If you knew why I do it! # JESUS : I don't care why you do it! # JUDAS : To think I admired you! For now I despise you! # JESUS : You liar! You Judas. # JUDAS : You want me to do it! What if I just stayed here And ruined your ambitions Christ you deserve it! # JESUS : Hurry, you fool. Hurry and go. Save me your speeches, I don't want to know. GO! Go! # APOSTLES ; Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine. What's that in the bread? It's gone to my head Till this evening is this morning life is fine. Always hoped that I'd be an apostle. Knew that I could make it if I tried. Then when we retire, we can write the Gospels, So they'll all talk about us when we've died. # JUDAS ; You sad, pathetic man, see where you've brought us to. Our ideals die around us all because of you. And the saddest cut of all: Someone had to turn you in. Like a common criminal, like a wounded animal. A jaded mandarin A jaded mandarin A jaded, faded, jaded, faded, jaded mandarin. # JESUS ; Get out they are waiting! Oh, they are waiting! They are waiting for you! # JUDAS ; Everytime I look at you I don't understand Why you let the things you did get so out of hand. You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned.... # APOSTLES ; Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine. Don't disturb me now. I can see the answers Till this evening is this morning life is fine. Always hoped that I'd be an apostle. Knew that I could make it if I tried. Then when we retire, we can write the Gospels, So they'll all talk about us when we've died. # JESUS ; Will no one stay awake with me? Peter? John? James? Will none of you wait with me? Peter? John? James?
- Gethsemane - # JESUS ; I only want to say, If there is a way, Take this cup away from me. For I don't want to taste its poison, Feel it burn me. I have changed. I'm not as sure, as when we started. Then, I was inspired. Now, I'm sad and tired. Listen, surely, I've exceeded expectations, Tried for three years, seems like thirty. Could you ask as much from any other man? But if I die, See the saga through and do the things you ask of me, Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree. I'd want to know, I'd want to know, My God, I'd want to know, I'd want to know, My God. I'd want to see, I'd want to see, My God, I'd want to see, I'd want to see, My God Why I should die. Would I be more noticed that I ever was before? Would the things that I've said and done matter any more? I have to know, I have to know my Lord, I have to know, I have to know my Lord I'd have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord, I'd have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord If I die what will be my reward? If I die what will be my reward? I'd have to know, I'd have to know my Lord I'd have to know, I'd have to know my Lord Why should I die? Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain? Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain. Show me there's a reason for you wanting me to die You're far to keen and where and how, and not so hot on why. Alright, I'll die! Just watch me die! See how I die! See how I die! Then, I was inspired. Now, I'm sad and tired. After all, I've tried for three years, seems like ninety. Why then am I scared to finish, what I've started.... What you started - I didn't start it! God, thy will is hard, But you hold every card. I will drink your cup of poison. Nail me to the cross and break me. Bleed me, Beat me, Kill me Take me now..before I change my mind. Now...before I change my mind.

Tell me what's happening. # PETER and APOSTLES ; What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening.(repeat) Hang on Lord, We're going to fight for you!(repeat) # JESUS ; Put away your sword Don't you know that it's all over? It was nice, but now it's gone. Why are you obsessed with fighting? Stick to fishing from now on. # CROWD ; Tell me Christ how you feel tonight. Do you plan to put up a fight? Do you feel that you've had the breaks? What would you say were your big mistakes? Do you think you may retire? Did you think you would get much higher? How do you view your coming trial? Have your men proved at all worth while? Come with us to see Caiaphas! You'll just love the High Priest's house. You'll just love seeing Caiaphas! You'll just die in the High Priest's house. Come on God this is not like you. Let us know what you're going to do. You know what you're supporter's feel; You'll escape in the final reel. Tell me Christ how you feel tonight. Do you plan to put up a fight? Do you feel that you've had the breaks? What would you say were your big mistakes? Come with us to see Caiaphas. You'll just love the High Priest's house. You'll just love seeing Caiaphas. You'll just die in the High Priest's house. Now we have him! Now we've got him! # CAIAPHAS ; Jesus, you must realize the serious charges facing you. You say your the Son of God in all your handouts... Well, is it true? # JESUS ; That's what you say, you say that I am. # ANNAS ; There you have it gentlemen. What more evidence do we need? Judas, thank you for the victim. Stay a while and you'll see it bleed! # CROWD ; Now we have him! Now we have got him! Take him to Pilate! Take him to Pilate!(repeat)
- Peter's Denial - # MAID BY THE FIRE ; I think I've seen you somewhere. I remember. You were with that man they took away. I recognized your face. # PETER ; You've got the wrong man lady.

It looked just like you. # PETER ; I don't know him! # MARY MAGDALENE ; Peter, don't you know what you have said? You've gone and cut him dead. # PETER ; I had to do it, don't you see?

- King Herod's Song - (Try It and See) # HEROD ; Jesus, I am overjoyed to meet you face to face. You've been getting quite a name all around the place. Healing cripples. Raising from the dead. And now I understand you're God. At least, that's what you've said. So, you are the Christ. You're the great Jesus Christ. Prove to me that you're divine; change my water into wine. That's all you need do, and I'll know it's all true. Come on, King of the Jews. Jesus, you just won't believe the hit you've made around here. You are all we talk about, the wonder of the year. Oh what a pity if it's all a lie. Still, I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try. So, you are the Christ. You're the great Jesus Christ. Prove to me that you're no fool; walk across my swimming pool. If you do that for me, then I'll let you go free. Come on, King of the Jews. I only ask things I'd ask any superstar. What is it that you have got that puts you where you are? Oh~I am waiting, yes, I'm a captive fan. I'm dying to be shown that you are not just any man. So, if you are the Christ, yes, the great Jesus Christ Feed my household with this bread. You can do it on your head. Or has something gone wrong? Why do you take so long? Come on, King of the Jews! Hey! Aren't you scared of me Christ? Mr. Wonderful Christ? You're a joke. You're not the Lord. You're nothing but a fraud. Take him away. He's got nothing to say! Get out you King of the Jews! Get out a here! Get out of my life!

- Judas' Death - # JUDAS ; My God! I saw him. He looked three-quarters dead! And he was so bad I had to turn my head. You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame, And I know who everybody's going to blame. I don't believe he knows I acted for our good. I'd save him all this suffering if I could. Don't believe for our good And I'd save him, if I could! # ANNAS ; Cut the confessions. Forget the excuses. I don't understand why you're filled with remorse. All that you've said has come true with a vengeance. The mob turned against him. You backed the right horse. # CAIAPHAS ; What you have done will be the saving of Israel. You'll be remembered forever for this. And not only that, you've been paid for your efforts. Pretty good wages for one little kiss. # JUDAS ; Christ, I know you can't hear me, But I only did what you wanted me to. Christ, I'd sell out the nation, For I have been saddled with the murder of you. I have been splattered with innocent blood. I shall be dragged through the slime and mud. I have been splattered with innocent blood. I shall be dragged through the slime and the slime and the slime and the mud! I don't know how to love him. I don't know why he moves me. He's a man. He's just a man. He is not a King. He is just the same As any one I know. He scares me so! When he's cold and dead will he let me be? Does he love me too? Does he care for me? Ah~! My mind is in darkness now. My God, I am sick. I've been used. And you knew, all the time. God, I will never know why you chose me... for your crime...bloody crime...your foul bloody crime. You have murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered ... # TEMPTRESSES ; Poor old Judas. So long Judas.
- Trial Before Pilate - (Including the 39 lashes) # PILATE ; And so the King is once again my guest. And why is this? Was Herod unimpressed? # CAIAPHAS ; We turned to Rome to sentence Nazareth. We have no law to put a man to death. We need him crucified. It's all you have to do. We need him crucified. It's all you have to do. # PILATE ; Talk to me Jesus Christ. You have been brought here Manacled and beaten by your own people. Do you have the faintest idea why you deserve it? Listen King of the Jews, Where is your kingdom? Look at me. Am I a Jew? # JESUS ; I have no kingdom in the world I'm through. # MOB ; Talk to me Jesus Christ # JESUS ; There may be a kingdom for me somewhere.
