ONE SONG GLORY

ROGER:

(I’M WRITING ONE GREAT SONG BEFORE...)
ONE SONG -- GLORY
ONE SONG -- BEFORE I GO
GLORY
ONE SONG TO LEAVE BEHIND
FIND ONE SONG -- ONE LAST REFRAIN
GLORY
FROM THE PRETTY BOY FRONT MAN
WHO WASTED OPPORTUNITY
ONE SONG -- HE HAD THE WORLD AT HIS FEET
GLORY
IN THE EYES OF A YOUNG GIRL
A YOUNG GIRL
FIND GLORY
BEYOND THE CHEAP COLORED LIGHTS
ONE SONG -- BEFORE THE SUN SETS
GLORY -- ON ANOTHER EMPTY LIFE
TIME FLIES -- TIME DIES

GLORY
ONE BLAZE OF GLORY
ONE BLAZE OF GLORY -- GLORY
FIND GLORY

IN A SONG THAT RINGS TRUE
TRUTH LIKE A BLAZING FIRE
AN ETERNAL FLAME
FIND ONE SONG -- A SONG ABOUT LOVE
GLORY
FROM THE SOUL OF A YOUNG MAN
A YOUNG MAN

FIND THE ONE SONG -- BEFORE THE VIRUS TAKES HOLD
GLORY
LIKE A SUNSET
ONE SONG -- TO REDEEM THIS EMPTY LIFE
TIME FLIES
AND THEN -- NO NEED TO ENDURE ANYMORE
TIME DIES

(A knock at the door)

The door.

ROGER:
I DIDN’T RECOGNIZE YOU WITHOUT THE HANDCUFFS
MIMI:

OH WON’T YOU LIGHT THE CANDLE
ROGER:
WHY DON'T YOU FORGET THAT STUFF?
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU’RE SIXTEEN
MIMI:

TODAY 4 U (The loft)

MARK:

Enter Tom Collins, computer genius, teacher, vagabond anarchist, who ran naked through the Parthenon.

ROGER:
OH HI!
COLLINS:
“OH HI” AFTER SEVEN MONTHS?
ROGER:
SORRY
COLLINS:
THIS BOY COULD USE SOME STOLI
COLLINS, MARK & ROGER:
OH HOLY NIGHT
ROGER:
YOU STRUCK GOLD AT MIT?
COLLINS:
THEY EXPELLED ME FOR MY THEORY OF ACTUAL REALITY
WHICH I’LL SOON IMPART
TO THE COUCH POTATOES AT NEW YORK UNIVERSITY
STILL HAVEN’T LEFT THE HOUSE?
ROGER:
I WAS WAITING FOR YOU, DON’T YOU KNOW?
COLLINS:
WELL, TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT COME TO THE LIFE CAFE AFTER MAUREEN’S SHOW
MARK & ROGER:
NO FLOW
COLLINS:
GENTLEMEN, OUR BENEFACTOR ON THIS CHRISTMAS EVE
WHOSE CHARITY IS ONLY MATCHED BY TALENT, I BELIEVE
A NEW MEMBER OF THE ALPHABET CITY AVANT-GARDE
ANGEL DUMOTT-SCHUNARD!
ANGEL:
TODAY FOR YOU -- TOMORROW FOR ME
TODAY FOR YOU -- TOMORROW FOR ME
COLLINS:
AND YOU SHOULD HEAR HER BEAT!
ROGER:
YOU EARNED THIS ON THE STREET?
ANGEL:
IT WAS MY LUCKY DAY TODAY ON AVENUE A
WHEN THE LADY IN THE LIMOUSINE DROVE MY WAY
SHE SAID, “DAHLING, BE A DEAR -- HAVEN’T SLEPT IN A YEAR
I NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE MY NEIGHBOUR'S YAPPY DOG DISAPPEAR"
“THIS AKITA-EVITA -- JUST WON’T SHUT UP
I BELIEVE IF YOU PLAY NON-STOP THAT PUP
WILL BREATHE ITS VERY LAST HIGH-STRUNG BREATH
I’M CERTAIN THAT CUR WILL BARK ITSELF TO DEATH”

TODAY FOR YOU -- TOMORROW FOR ME
TODAY FOR YOU -- TOMORROW FOR ME

WE AGREED ON A FEE -- A THOUSAND DOLLAR GUARANTEE
TAX-FREE -- AND A BONUS IF I TRIM HER TREE
NOW WHO COULD FORETELL THAT IT WOULD GO SO WELL
BUT SURE AS I AM HERE THAT DOG IS NOW IN DOGGY HELL

AFTER AN HOUR -- EVITA -- IN ALL HER GLORY
ON THE WINDOW LEDGE OF THAT 23RD STORY
LIKE THELMA & LOUISE DID WHEN THEY GOT THE BLUES
SWAN DOVE INTO THE COURTYARD OF THE GRACIE MEWS

TODAY FOR YOU -- TOMORROW FOR ME
TODAY FOR YOU -- TOMORROW FOR ME

THEN BACK TO THE STREET WHERE I MET MY SWEET
WHERE HE WAS MOANING AND GROANING ON THE COLD CONCRETE
THE NURSE TOOK HIM HOME FOR SOME MERCUROCHROME
AND I DRESSED HIS WOUNDS AND GOT HIM BACK ON HIS FEET

SING IT
TODAY FOR YOU -- TOMORROW FOR ME
TODAY FOR YOU -- TOMORROW FOR ME
TODAY FOR YOU -- TOMORROW FOR ME
TODAY FOR YOU -- TOMORROW FOR ME

 

[AmandaSparks730]

YOU’LL SEE

BENNY:

HEY YOU BUM -- YEAH, YOU, MOVE OVER
GET YOUR *** OFF THAT RANGE ROVER
MARK:
That attitude toward the homeless is exactly what Maureen is protesting tonight.
Close up: Benjamin Coffin the third. Our ex-roommate, who married Alison Grey, of the Westport Greys -- then bought the building, in hopes of starting a cyber-studio.

BENNY:
MAUREEN IS PROTESTING LOSING HER PERFORMANCE SPACE
NOT MY ATTITUDE
ROGER:
WHAT HAPPENED TO BENNY?
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS HEART
AND THE IDEALS HE ONCE PURSUED?
BENNY:
ANY OWNER OF THAT LOT NEXT DOOR
HAS A RIGHT TO DO WITH IT AS HE PLEASES
COLLINS:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS!
BENNY:
THE RENT
MARK:
YOU’RE WASTING YOUR TIME
ROGER:
WE’RE BROKE
MARK:

BENNY:

ROGER:
I KNEW IT!
BENNY:
NEXT DOOR, THE HOME OF CYBERARTS, YOU SEE
AND NOW THAT THE BLOCK IS REZONED
OUR DREAM CAN BECOME A REALITY
YOU’LL SEE BOYS
YOU’LL SEE BOYS
A STATE OF THE ART, DIGITAL, VIRTUAL INTERACTIVE STUDIO
I’LL FOREGO YOUR RENT AND ON PAPER GUARANTEE
THAT YOU CAN STAY HERE FOR FREE
IF YOU DO ME ONE SMALL FAVOR

MARK:
WHAT?
BENNY:
CONVINCE MAUREEN TO CANCEL HER PROTEST
MARK:
WHY NOT JUST GET AN INJUNCTION OR CALL THE COPS?
BENNY:
I DID, AND THEY’RE ON STAND BY
BUT MY INVESTORS WOULD RATHER I HANDLE THIS QUIETLY
ROGER:
YOU CAN’T QUIETLY WIPE OUT AN ENTIRE TENT CITY
THEN WATCH “IT’S A WONDERFUL LIKE” ON TV!
BENNY:
YOU WANT TO PRODUCE FILMS AND WRITE SONGS?
YOU NEED SOMEWHERE TO DO IT!
IT’S WHAT WE USED TO DREAM ABOUT
THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU POOH-POOH IT
YOU’LL SEE BOYS
YOU’LL SEE BOYS

YOU’LL SEE -- THE BEAUTY OF A STUDIO
THAT LETS US DO OUR WORK AND GET PAID
WITH CONDOS ON THE TOP
WHOSE RENT KEEPS OPEN OUR SHOP

JUST STOP THE PROTEST
AND YOU’LL HAVE IT MADE
YOU’LL SEE-- OR YOU’LL PACK

ANGEL:
THAT BOY COULD USE SOME PROZAC
ROGER:
OR HEAVY DRUGS
MARK:
OR GROUP HUGS
COLLINS:
WHICH REMINDS ME --
WE HAVE A DETOUR TO MAKE TONIGHT
ANYONE WHO WANTS TO CAN COME ALONG
ANGEL:
LIFE SUPPORT’S A GROUP FOR PEOPLE COPING WITH LIFE
YOU DON’T HAVE TO STAY TOO LONG
MARK:
FIRST I’VE GOT A PROTEST TO SAVE
ANGEL:
ROGER?
ROGER:
I’M NOT MUCH COMPANY YOU’LL FIND
MARK:

ANGEL:

MARK:

WITH ALL OF YOUR MIGHT...
JOANNE:
I’D FALL FOR HER STILL ANYHOW
BOTH:
WHEN YOU’RE DANCING HER DANCE
YOU DON’T STAND A CHANCE
HER GRIP OF ROMANCE MAKES YOU FALL
MARK:
SO YOU THINK, “MIGHT AS WELL”
JOANNE:
“DANCE A TANGO TO HELL”
BOTH:
“AT LEAST I’LL HAVE TANGOED AT ALL”
THE TANGO MAUREEN
GOTTA DANCE TILL YOUR DIVA IS THROUGH
YOU PRETEND TO BELIEVE HER
CAUSE IN THE END YOU CAN’T LEAVE HER

BUT THE END IT WILL COME
STILL YOU HAVE TO PLAY DUMB
TILL YOU’RE GLUM AND YOU BUM AND TURN BLUE

MARK:
WHY DO WE LOVE WHEN SHE’S MEAN?
JOANNE:
AND SHE CAN BE SO OBSCENE
MARK:
TRY THE MIKE
JOANNE:
MY MAUREEN (EEN, EEN, EEN...)
MARK:

MIMI:

WHAT’S THE TIME?
WELL, IT’S GOTTA BE CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT
MY BODY’S TALKING TO ME -- IT SAYS, “TIME FOR DANGER”
IT SAYS “I WANNA COMMIT A CRIME
WANNA BE THE CAUSE OF A FIGHT
WANNA PUT ON A TIGHT SKIRT AND FLIRT WITH A STRANGER”
I’VE HAD A KNACK FROM WAY BACK
AT BREAKING THE RULES ONCE I LEARN THE GAMES
GET UP -- LIFE’S TOO QUICK
I KNOW SOMEPLACE SICK
WHERE THIS CHICK’LL DANCE IN THE FLAMES
WE DON’T NEED ANY MONEY
I ALWAYS GET IN FOR FREE
YOU CAN GET IN TOO IF YOU GET IN WITH ME

LET’S GO OUT TONIGHT
I HAVE TO GO OUT TONIGHT
YOU WANNA PLAY? LET’S RUN AWAY
WE WON’T BE BACK BEFORE IT’S CHRISTMAS DAY
TAKE ME OUT TONIGHT -- MEOW
WHEN I GET A WINK FROM THE DOORMAN
DO YOU KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU’LL BE?
THAT YOU’RE ON LINE WITH THE FELINE OF AVENUE B

LET’S GO OUT TONIGHT
I HAVE TO GO OUT TONIGHT
YOU WANNA PROWL, BE MY NIGHT OWL?
WELL TAKE MY HAND, WE’RE GONNA HOWL OUT TONIGHT

IN THE EVENING I’VE GOT TO ROAM
CAN’T SLEEP IN THE CITY OF NEON AND CHROME
FEELS TOO DAMN MUCH LIKE HOME
WHEN THE SPANISH BABIES CRY
SO LET’S FIND A BAR
SO DARK WE FORGET WHO WE ARE
AND ALL THE SCARS FROM THE
NEVERS AND MAYBES DIE

LET’S GO OUT TONIGHT
I HAVE TO GO OUT TONIGHT
YOU’RE SWEET, WANNA HIT THE STREET?
WANNA WAIL AT THE MOON LIKE A CAT IN HEAT?
JUST TAKE ME OUT TONIGHT
PLEASE TAKE ME OUT TONIGHT
DON’T FORSAKE ME -- OUT TONIGHT
I’LL LET YOU MAKE ME -- OUT TONIGHT
TONIGHT -- TONIGHT -- TONIGHT
