I've Got It

D: I’ve got it
P: You’ve got it?
D: It’s right here in my hand
I hold the key to life itself
P: But I don’t understand
D: See Peach, I’ve got it
P: I got that
D: I’ll bring her back to life
P: Yes, but where you lost me is the part where you once had a wife
D: She was perfect and sublime
P: You kept her secret all this time
D: You’ll fly again, my precious dove
P: And I thought I would be your new…
D: My love
P: ...assistant
D: Since we parted
P: I’m your assistant
D: I’ve been broken-hearted, pining after you
P: I just thought you were naturally gloomy
D: My love
We’ll be reunited
No more divided
You’ll be made anew
P: Okay, I’ve had it
D: You’ve had what?
P: I’ve worked with you for years
And you’ve been mourning her?
D: Intensely
P: While I’ve been right here?
D: I don’t get it
P: Just forget it
It’s no good blaming you
D: Blame me for what?
P: Oh, never mind. How do we use this stupid shoe?
D: The spell will raise her from the dead
P: And suddenly I’m filled with dread
D: No, there’s no reason to be frantic
P: This plan sounds straight up necromantic
DOUR PEACH
My love
Since we parted This could end badly
I’ve been broken-hearted When you love madly
Pining after you Yes, mad’s the word I’d use
My love
We’ll be reunited This is so stressful
No more divided Say that we’re successful
You’ll be made anew Still what might we lose?

The Shadows of your Eyes
03:11
|
|||
You want the power to bring back the dead?
Lengthen the skein of your mortal thread?
To show your folks you shouldn’t have played soccer instead?
The power’s all in your eyes
You want the power, the glory, the fame?
To make your enemies burst into flame?
Or make that girl in study hall remember your name?
Then get to work on your eyes!
Master the shadows
Make them your slaves
Perfect your application
Select the right shade
You’ll see power resides
In the shadows of your eyes, of your eyes...
You want your cosplay to be such a fright
To ride with ghouls in darkest midnight
For your latex pants to be oh so tight
The power’s all in your eyes
Master the shadows
Make them your slaves
Perfect your application
Select the right shade
You’ll see power resides in the shadows of your eyes!
Of your eyes! Of your eyes...of your eyes…of your eyes...of your eyes...

Crazy?
04:47
|
|||
I didn’t follow blindly in my science class at school
But they didn’t take it kindly when I told them they were fools
My experiments were not permitted
They told me I should be committed
And so, with heavy heart, I quitted
Them – cause they were tools.
But still, their censure lingers in the hollow of my ear
At midnight in my lab, their tuts and nos are all I hear
To help my work in its progression,
And shield me from my peers’ oppression,
A simple either/or expression
Keeps my vision clear:
If I stay out ‘til quarter to three, and you turn in at ten
If I've got guys chasing after me, and you’ve sworn off of men
If I like to smoke, and I like to drink, and you like to clean your bathroom sink,
Does that make me crazy? Or does it make you square?
If I hatch new philosophies on the workings of the brain,
If I espouse hypotheses that they pronounce insa-aa-ane,
If I find success with methodologies they thought they’d debunked in eighteen-oh-three,
Does that make me crazy? Or does it make them square?
I’ve been drinking mercury, and man, I feel just fine.
I’m a master of self-surgery: I get better every time!
If with every breakthrough, they keep fussin’ ‘bout unintended repercussions,
Does that make me crazy? Or does it make them square?
So, I’ll have fun combining genes they’ve told me I can’t splice
I’ll bring back beasts from the Pleistocene while they dick around with mice
I’ll conquer the world with a mutant horde while they’re still checking with their ethics board
Does that make me crazy?
(Yes, it makes her crazy)
I say, does it make me crazy? No, it makes them square!!

Bob!

|

Bob, the musical pet psychic!
Bob, the musical pet psychic!
If you’re missing a friend with feathers or fins
And you don’t want to die to be together again
Just call the number you see on your screen
And get a guide to the places between!
Call Bob, the musical pet psychic!
Bob, the musical pet psychic!
Rex and Fido, Mittens and Boo
They’re all waiting to talk to you
They might not have a lot to say
But at least they’ll let you know they’re okay
With Bob, the musical pet psychic
Bob, the musical pet psychic
Bob (Bob!), the musical pet psychic
You’ll tremble in fear but you’ll also kind of like it (kind of like it)
All the animal friends that you sent to their graves (oooh-ah)
Are coming for you, and this time they won’t behave (oooh-ah)
All the parrots and the ferrets and the goldfish and mice (oooh-ah)
Are coming back for your blood, and they’ll pay any price (oooh-ah)
So prepare to be owned in a fight you can’t win
Against Bob and his army and his violi-ii-in!!!!

We Never Said Goodbye
02:23
|
|||
We never said goodbye
You didn’t hold me til the dawn
We had no final desperate night
I took a breath and you were gone
We thought our fire would burn bright
We saw it kindle from a spark
But someone doused our little light
And left me standing in the dark
If you would come to me again
I could stop feeling so forlorn
But if that truly was the end
I wish I had been warned
I could have said farewell
at least left you with a smile
But there’s nothing you can tell me
That will cut across the miles
And miles
We never said goodbye
I’ll never have you for my own
One moment you were at my side
I took a breath, and was alone.

PEACH
I’ll never say goodbye
DOUR & ERMENGARDE
I guess this is goodbye
PEACH
I want no fanfare when I leave
DOUR & ERMENGARDE
Now that the time has come to leave
PEACH
I want no tear to cloud your eye
DOUR & ERMENGARDE
Look me one last time in the eye
PEACH
I’ll leave no note to make you grieve
DOUR & ERMENGARDE
When you are gone, I’ll grieve
ALL
I’ll never say what’s in my heart
But you could guess it if you try
Take one last blessing as we part
It’s time to say…
Goodbye

Everything's Fine
04:25
|

DOUR
Now it’s just her and me
She’s the only thing I see
It’s the way things were meant to be
And everything’s…fine.
We always eat at eight
We never stay out late
Our life is quite sedate
And everything’s…fine.
No regrets and no upsets
Cause nothing much has happened yet
She somehow makes the tedious sublime
ERMENGARDE
Hand in hand, we make our way
Through every dreary day
I bite my lip and say
That everything’s…fine.
He brought me back to life
To be his loving wife
And though he’s stifling, at least I can siphon
His life force, so everything’s fine.
BOTH
It's fine
ERMENGARDE
It’s nicer here than it was in hell
BOTH
It's fine
DOUR
I hope that Peach is doing well
Have we grown apathetic?
ERMENGARDE
Let’s call it copacetic
BOTH
There’s nothing to do but recline
Cause everything’s…fine
PEACH
There’s always something new to discover
Here in the underworld
There’s curious secrets to uncover
And I’m a curious girl!
There’s demons to tempt the inquisitive
And the ghosts of all the people who ever lived
I’ll undertake to understand
Every underling in this underland
This world is all the oysters, and they’re mine
So everything’s...fine
HADES
I used to think that I was strong
But since she showed up, something’s wrong
She makes eternity seem long
But everything’s…fine.
She’s frightened all my ghouls away
PEACH
I said I'm sorry
HADES
Fed Cerberus her failed soufflé
PEACH
He's getting better
HADES
Used thread-of-life for macramé
But everything’s fuuuuuiiine.
ALL
Everything’s fine
ERMENGARDE
Soon you will succumb to me
DOUR
That’s fine
HADES & PEACH
Fine
PEACH
Have some pomegranate tea
HADES
Aaah!
ALL
So what if the lives we made
Don’t quite match the plans we laid
ALL
It’s fine
HADES
My underworld is such a mess!
ALL
It's fine
DOUR
I think I’m losing consciousness
HADES
What did you tell the demons?
PEACH
I told them to stop screaming
DOUR
I feel so tired of living
ERMENGARDE
Just slip into oblivion
HADES
The underworld is crumbling
PEACH
Tonight I’ll make some dumplings
HADES
The furies are revolting!
PEACH
I thought they were just molting
DOUR, ERMENGARDE & PEACH
So let’s all heave a sigh and resign, cause everything’s -

We are the Monsters
03:06
|
|||
You got yourself in way too far
Can't even make out where you are
But I can hear you calling from the dark,
"I found the monsters!
"I found the monsters!"
Though what you're facing might be vile
You just hang in there a while
And I'll be there with a chainsaw and a smile
To save you from the monsters
I know there's creatures we can't see
Down in the dark where we shouldn't be
But maybe they should be afraid of me
They're only monsters
They're only monsters
But in the dark be careful what you do
And if you stay too long you'll see it's true
That the abyss gazes also into you
And we are the monsters
We are the monsters...
