Carrie is a 1976 American supernatural horror film directed by Brian De Palma and written by Lawrence D. Cohen, based on the novel Carrie by Stephen King. The film stars Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, Betty Buckley, Amy Irving, Nancy Allen, William Katt, John Travolta, P.J. Soles and Priscilla Pointer. It is the story of a socially outcast teenage girl named Carrie White who discovers she possesses latent psionic power which seems to flare up when she becomes angry or otherwise distressed. Carrie's powers become apparent after her humiliation by her peers, teachers, and abusive mother, eventually resulting in tragedy. It was the first of several Stephen King novels to be made into movies for screen and TV: it also introduced young stars who would later be famous, except for Piper Laurie, who had already made several films.
The film was a major success for United Artists, grossing $33.8 million at the U.S. box office, on a budget of $1.8 million. It received a mostly positive response from critics. The film spawned a failed sequel The Rage: Carrie 2 and a fairly well-received made for television film, released in 2002, neither of which involved De Palma. During a survey taken in October 2008, it was revealed that Carrie was considered one of the most popular movies teens watched on Halloween.
Carrie is a girl
Disillusioned by the world and her crazy man
So she takes her vows
And she swears no matter how she'll never fall again
Carrie, who can blame you
If you find some kind of refuge in your solitude?
But there's gotta come a time
When your passion for your freedom makes a slave of you
She lives in a dream to wait for a dream
Who waits for tomorrow, she said, "Wait, wait, wait"
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie, Carrie, don't you hide
What's going on inside?
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie, Carrie, don't you hide
What's going on inside?
Carrie once again
In the company of friends 'cause she's so alone
Ever so aware of a part of her
That no one's ever really known
Come a another day when she'll find
A way to fade into the scenery
Carrie are you alive or just going through the motions
Like you seem to be
She lives in a dream to wait for a dream
Who waits for tomorrow, she said, "Wait, wait, wait"
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie, Carrie, don't you hide
What's going on inside?
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie, Carrie, don't you hide
What's going on inside?
Now Carrie don't you fight it
No don't even try
'Cause in your heart what's been decided
Just will not be denied
Am I getting through to you?
Am I getting through to you?
All I wanna do to you is take you for a ride
Oh Carrie
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie won't you write? don't let me worry
You know that it's right, and still I worry
We don't have the time to quarrel like we do
Life is so unkind, don't let's help it too.
Carrie won't you come or meet me half way?
You don't have to run or play it my way.
I concede to you, it's the simple thing to do
Pride ain't got no place, the future's in your face.
INSTRUMENTAL
(Carrie won't you write)
(You know that it's right)
I concede to you, it's the simple thing to do
Pride ain't got no place, the future's in your face.
Carrie won't you write
Carrie won't you write
Carrie won't you write
Carrie won't you write
One cold and sad.affair,
Take my heart and leave it there,
I'm gonna feel this way forever,
Never thought that I'd be free,
Now you've made this change in me,
Carrie, Carrie,
Now only time will tell,
It's a dream I know so well,
Always tried so hard to please me,
Only thing I know for sure,
I couldn't love you any more,
Carrie, Carrie,
Waited so long no one to share,
Could you belong to someone
Show you care,
I'll be there
Oh Carrie, is it more than a dream this time?
Carrie, can I tell everyone you're mine?
I will never be the same,
Now you've made me live again.
Carrie, is it more than a dream this time?
Oh Carrie, is it more than a dream this time?
My heart is open wide,
You know how I feel inside,
You say my sad old days are over.
Never need to hide away,
Getting stronger every day
Carrie, Carrie
Waited so long no one to share,
Could you belong to someone?
Show you care
I'll be there.
Oh Carrie, is it more than a dream this time?
Carrie, can I tell everyone you're mine?
I will never be the same
Now you've made me live again.
Carrie is it more than a dream,
Oh Carrie, is it more than a dream this time?
Oh Carrie, can I tell everyone you're mine?
Oh Carrie, is it more than a dream this time?
Oh Carrie, can I tell everyone you're mine?
Sorry to disturb you
But I was in the neighborhood
About a friend, I've her picture
Could you take a look?
Oh, I appreciate you're busy
And time is not your own
Yeah, maybe it would be better
If I telephoned
Carrie doesn't live here anymore
(Carrie)
Carrie used to room on the second floor
(On the second)
Sorry that she left no forwarding address
That was known to me
So, Carrie doesn't live here anymore
(Carrie)
You could always ask at the corner store
(Could ask)
Carrie had a date with her own kind of fate
It's plain to see
Another missing person
One of many we assume
The young wear their freedom
Like cheap perfume
(It's useless information)
Returning my call
(To help the situation)
They've nothing at all
You're just another message
On a pay phone wall
Carrie doesn't live here anymore
(Carrie)
Carrie used to room on the second floor
(On the second)
Sorry that she left no forwarding address
That was known to me, Carrie
Carrie doesn't live here anymore
(Carrie doesn't live, doesn't live here anymore)
Carrie used to room on the second floor
(On the second)
Sorry, Carrie left no forwarding address
When lights go down, I see no reason
For you to cry, we've been through this before
In every time, in every season
God knows I've tried
So please don't ask for more
Can't you see it in my eyes?
Though this might be our last goodbye
Carrie
Carrie
Things they change my friend
Woh ohh
Carrie
Carrie
Maybe we'll meet again
Somewhere, again
I read your mind with no intentions
Of being unkind, I wish I could explain
It all takes time
A whole lot of patience
If it's a crime, how come I feel no pain?
Can't you see it in my eyes?
Though this might be our last goodbye
Ohh ho ho
Carrie
Carrie
Oh, things they change my friend
Woh ohh
Carrie
Carrie
Maybe we'll meet again
Can't you see it in my eyes?
Though this might be our last goodbye
(Ohh ho ho)
Carrie
Carrie
Ohh, things they change
Carrie, Carrie, Carrie
(Ohh ho ho)
Carrie
Carrie
Maybe we'll meet again
Oh, somewhere again
(D. Dickers)
No thief can steal her pride
all her moves are right
to live her life the way she wants
I know all her tricky ways
to catch you in her maze
and turn you into her latest prize
She won't testify
when you're finally hangin' high
no, she won't even cry
Carrie doesn't know what love is for
she's the kind of girl
that locks you out her door
and tells you why she can't go on
that you're not the one
She won't recall your name
it's her claim to fame
her way to clear her precious mind
She won't see all the lies that you despise
all the little things
that turn your head upside down
When your hopes are high
better quit, don't even try
kiss your dream goodbye
Carrie doesn't know what love is for
she's the kind of girl
that locks you out her door
and tells you why she can't go on
that you're not the one (2X)
You can try to change her mind
But then you'll find she's a stranger to her heart
She doesn't know what
She's the kind of girl
Does what she's gonna say
All the friends she left behind
That never gonna get away
Tell me honey, livin' in the sun
Our life had just begun
I'm alright
I'm alright
There came a little town
Just around the second day
Like the friends she left behind
How they gonna get away
Remember Carrie
Oh, when we were young
And life had just begun
I'm okay
I'm okay
CHORUS:
Carrie, what you gonna do without me?
They say I'm not the only one
You got that smile I can't resist
Now I'm not even missed am I Carrie?
How you gonna live without me?
I've seen the writing on the wall
You know you'll always be an angel
In the life that will I live without you
Early Sunday night, it read time for me to get away
I don't love you anymore, that's all it had to say
Tell me can you live with what you've done?
Well I guess you're not the one
I'm okay
I'm okay
CHORUS (x2)
When lights go down, I see no reason
For you to cry. We've been through this before
In every time, in every season,
God knows I've tried
So please don't ask for more.
Can't you see it in my eyes
This might be our last goodbye
Carrie, Carrie, things they change my friend
Carrie, Carrie, maybe we'll meet again somewhere again
I read your mind, with no intentions
Of being unkind, I wish I could explain
It all takes time, a whole lot of patience
If it's a crime, how come I feel no pain.
Carrie, Carrie, things they change my friend
Carrie, Carrie, maybe we'll meet again
Carrie, Carrie, things they change my friend

Carrie, underneath that mask, I know you hide all of the
resentment that's inside buried by pride. And Carrie, did
you ever guess one day you'd loose and there would be no
one around to use your naked charm?
Like a gambler, you took your odds and you risked it all
and bet on the wrong horse and now all illusions you
built on air just went up in smoke and you have to bear
that the more you aim high the more you loose when you
don't take time to plan what you choose to do. Brace
yourself and please do confess!
You thought you had it all worked out and you decided to
impress.
Exploited every dirty trick and i admit it, with finesse.
Took out whomever in your way you thought that had to be
suppressed.
Turned into actions what you planned the creed you deny
to profess.
Betrayed into the hands of men, refused all efforts in
your aid.
The more you sought to leave the ground, the more you
found out that you weighed.
The lesser effort to perceive, the lesser chances to
evade.
The ignorance you tried conceal was the pie thrown back
