All That's Known
All that's known
In History, in Science
Overthrown
At school, at home, by blind men
You doubt them,
And soon they bark and hound you
Till everything you say is just another bad about you
All they say
Is "Trust in what is written"
Wars are made
And somehow that is wisdom
Thought is suspect
And money is their idol
And nothing is okay unless it's scripted in their Bible
But I know
There's so much more to find
Just in looking through myself, and not at them
Still, I know
To trust my own true mind
And to say there's a way through this
On I go
To wonder and to learning
Name the stars and know their dark returning
I'm calling
To know the world's true yearning
The hunger that a child feels for everything they're shown
You watch me
Just watch me
I'm calling
And one day all will know
You watch me
Just watch me
I'm calling
And one day all will know
The Dark I Know Well
MARTHA
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
You say, "Time for bed now child,"
Mom just smiles that smile
Just like she never saw me
Just like she never saw me
So, I leave, wanting to hide
Knowing deep inside
You are coming to me
You are coming to me
You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight
And then you hold me and you whisper,
"Child, the Lord won't mind.
It's just you and me.
Child, you're a beauty.
"God, it's good – the lovin' – ain't it good tonight?
You ain't seen nothing yet – gonna treat you right.
It's just you and me
Child you're a beauty."
ILSE
I don't scream, though I know it's wrong
I just play along
I lie there and breathe
Lie there and breathe
I wanna be strong
I want the world to find out
That you're dreamin' on me
Me and my "beauty"
Me and my "beauty"
BOTH
You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight
And then you hold me and you whisper,
"Child, the Lord won't mind.
It's just you and me.
Child, you're a beauty.
"God, it's good – the lovin' – ain't it good tonight?
You ain't seen nothing yet – gonna treat you right.
It's just you and me
Child you're a beauty."
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
My Junk
[WENDLA]
In the midst of this nothing. This miss of a life.
Still there's this wanting to see you go by.
[MARTHA]
It's almost like lovin'. Sad as that is.
[THEA]
May not be cool, but it's so where I live.
[ANNA]
It's like I'm your lover or more like your ghost.
I spend the day wondering what you do, where you go.
[THEA]
I try and just kick it but what can I do.
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.
[ALL GIRLS]
See us, winter walking after a storm.
It's chill in the wind but it's warm in your arms.
The stop all snow line, may not be true.
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.
[GEORG]
Well, you'll have to excuse me, I know it's so off.
I love when you do stuff that's rude and so wrong.
[HANSCHEN]
I go up to my room, turn the stereo on…
Shoot up some you, and the you is some song.
[ANNA]
I lie back just driftin' and play out these scenes
I ride on the rush of all the hopes and the dreams.
[THEA]
I May be neglecting the things I should do.
But we've all got our junk, and my junk is you.
[ALL]
See we still keep talkin' after you're gone.
You still with me then feels so good in my arms.
They say you go blind, maybe it's true.
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.
It's like we stop time. What can I do?
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.
My junk is you.
My junk is you.
You. You. You.
The Bitch Of Living
MORITZ
God, I dreamed there was an angel
Who could hear me through the wall
As I cried out, like, in Latin "This is so not life at all
Help me out, out of this nightmare."
Then I heard her silver call
She said, "Just give it time, kid. I come to one and all."
She said, "Give me that hand, please, and the itch you can't control.
Let me teach you how to handle all the sadness in your soul.
Oh, we'll work that silver magic,
Then we'll aim it all the wall."
She said, "Love may make you blind, kid, but I wouldn't mind at all."
ALL
It's the bitch of living
OTTO
The bitch, just the bitch
ALL
With nothing but your hand
OTTO
Just the bitch, yeah
ALL
Just the bitch of living
As someone you can't stand
GEORG
See, each night it's, like, fantastic
Tossing, turning without rest
'Cause my days at the piano
With my teacher and her breasts
And the music's, like, the one thing
I can't even get at all
And those breasts!
I mean, God, please, just let those apples fall
ALL
It's the bitch of living
OTTO
The bitch!
ALL
With nothing going on, nothing going on
Just the bitch of living
Asking: What went wrong?
Do they think we want this?
Oh, who knows!
ERNST
See, there's showering in gym class
HANSCHEN
Bobby Maler, he's the best
Look so nasty in those khakis
ERNST
God, my whole life's like some test
OTTO
Then there's Marianna Wheelan
As if she'd return my call
HANSCHEN
It's like, just kiss some ass, man
Then you can screw 'em all
MELCHIOR
It's the bitch of living
And living in your head
It's the bitch of living
And sensing God is dead
ALL
It's the bitch of living
And trying to get ahead
It's the bitch of living
Just getting out of bed
It's the bitch of living
And getting what you get
It's the bitch of living
MELCHIOR
And knowing this is it
ALL
God, is this it?
This can't be it
Oh God, what a bitch!
In love with this musical..
Amazing. Simply Put.

What I Really Meant Was...
You said that you were sorry.
I froze up.
It was unexpected. You caught me off gaurd.
There was something I wanted to say....
No way in hell do I accept your apology. You never accepted any of mine so why should I do otherwise?
Plus... What you did... or more like, what you let happen was completely unforgivable.
You should realize that.
Everyone else does.
But I do feel for you and what happened on Sunday is terrible. Losing someone is always difficult.
But however....
It isn't ok.
