Labyrinth is a 1986 British-American adventure musical fantasy film directed by Jim Henson, executive produced by George Lucas, and based upon conceptual designs by Brian Froud. The film revolves around 15-year-old Sarah's (Jennifer Connelly) quest to reach the center of an enormous otherworldly maze to rescue her infant brother Toby, who has been kidnapped by Jareth, the Goblin King (David Bowie). With the exception of Bowie and Connelly, most of the significant characters in the film are played by puppets produced by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
The film started as a collaboration between Henson and Froud, with ideas for the film first being discussed between them following a screening of their previous collaboration, The Dark Crystal. Terry Jones of Monty Python wrote the first draft of the film's script early in 1984, drawing on Froud's sketches for inspiration. Various other script-writers, including Laura Phillips (who had previously written several episodes of Fraggle Rock), Lucas, Dennis Lee, and Elaine May, subsequently re-wrote and made additions to the screenplay, although Jones received the film's sole screen-writing credit. Labyrinth was shot on location in Upper Nyack, Piermont and Haverstraw in New York, and at Elstree Studios and West Wycombe Park in the United Kingdom.
A 16-year old girl is given 13 hours to solve a labyrinth and rescue her baby brother when her wish for him to be taken away is granted by the Goblin King.
Teenage Sarah is left to babysit her baby brother Toby and he will not stop crying. So Sarah tries to put the baby to sleep by reading him a story. When she accidentally conjures up the Goblin King from the fantasy, he steals the baby and takes him to his castle, which is in the middle of a labyrinth. Now Sarah must solve the labyrinth by midnight, or Toby will be turned into a goblin. (Original Title - Labyrinth (1986)) (c) 2007 TM & © 1986, 2007 The Jim Henson Company.

"As The World Falls Down" There's such a sad love Deep in your eyes. A kind of pale jewel Open and closed Within your eyes. I'll place the sky Within your eyes. There's such a fooled heart Beatin' so fast In search of new dreams. A love that will last Within your heart. I'll place the moon Within your heart. As the pain sweeps through, Makes no sense for you. Every thrill is gone. Wasn't too much fun at all, But I'll be there for you-ou-ou As the world falls down. Falling. Falling down. Falling in love. I'll paint you mornings of gold. I'll spin you Valentine evenings. Though we're strangers 'til now, We're choosing the path Between the stars. I'll leave my love Between the stars.

Get away - get outside,
Run with her - side by side,
Climbing down - dirty sheets,
Breaking through -the narrow streets.
That's what you get 'cause you got
Right into this dirty plot!
Bang-bang-bang
Guerilla war has no end
Bang-bang-bang
Noone survives the end
She was right - I was wrong
My heart was - not 'nough strong
Sold my soul - got nothing back
The fight is now - off the track
Take your gun - got the call
Your back is now- 'gainst the wall!
Bang-bang-bang
Guerilla war has no end
Bang-bang-bang
Noone survives the end
Walking thru' a bone-dry meadow
Birds fly over - and cast shadow
Saw a butterfly, reach out with my hand
A voice says: don't touch me!
Sky and Land - light green and blue
Lonely boat - without the crew
Saw an angel - reach out to touch her
And she says: come with me!
Top of the cliff - vast land underneath
Looking at the - dried-out heath
Smoke and fire, laments the choir
Reality comes back to me!
Bang-bang-bang
Guerilla war has no end
Bang-bang-bang
Noone survives the end
Get away - get outside,
Run with her - side by side,
Climbing down - dirty sheets,
Breaking through -the narrow streets.
That's what you get 'cause you got
