I`m so excited because I`m gonna go to the High School of Performing
Arts, I mean I was dying to be a serious actress.
Anyway, it`s our first day acting class and we`re in the auditorium and
The teacher, Mr. Karp, puts us upon the stage with
Our legs around everybody, one in back of the other, and he says:
`Okay, we`re gonna do improvisations...Now, you`re on a
Bobsled and it`s snowing out and it`s cold... Okay, go!`Ev`ryday for a week we would try to feel the motion,Feel the motion down the hill.Ev`ry day for a week we would try to hear the wind rushHear the wind rush, feel the chillAnd I dug right down to the bottom of my soul To see what I had inside.Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul And I tried, I tried!And everybody goin` `Woosh... woosh ... I feel the snow, I feel the
Cold,I feel the air...` And Mr. Karp turns to me and he says: `Okay,
Morales, what did you feel?`And I said... `Nothing, I`m feeling nothing,`And he says `Nothing could get a girl transferred.`They all felt something, but I felt nothingExcept the feelin` that this bullshit was absurd!But I said to myself, `Hey, it`s only the first week. Maybe it`s
Genetic, They don`t have bobsleds in San Juan!`Second week, more advanced, And we had to be a table, Be a sportscar,
Ice-cream cone.Mister Karp, he would say, `Very good, except Morales.Try, Morales, all alone.`And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul To see how an ice cream
Felt... Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
And I tried to melt!The kids yelled, `Nothing!` They called me `Nothing`And Karp allowed it, which really makes me burn.They were so helpful, they called me `Hopeless`,Until I really didn`t know where else to turn.And Karp kept saying, `Morales, I think you should transfer to Girl`s
High, You`ll never be an actress, Never!` Jesus Christ!Went to church, praying, Santa Maria, Send me guidance,Send me guidance on my knees.Went to church praying, Santa Maria, Help me feel it,Help me feel it pretty please.And a voice from down at the bottom of my soulCame up to the top of my headAnd a voice from down at the bottom of my soul, Here is what it said:This man is nothing! This course is nothing!If you want something go find another class.And when you find one You`ll be an actress.And I assure you that`s what fin`lly came to pass.Six months later I heard that Karp had died.And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul And cried...`Cause I felt nothing.
