Way up high *clasps hands to chest and looks up*
There's a land that I heard of *spreads arms wide*
Once in a lullaby *dances forward*
Somewhere over the rainbow *sings with great big smile*
Skies are blue *flutters eyelashes*
And the dreams that you dare to dream *sigh*
Really do come true *dances down the road*
Some day I'll wish upon a star *points to heavens*
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me *spins around in circles*
Where troubles melt like lemondrops *holds the long o*
Away above the chimney tops *grabs a broom and dances with it*
That's wher... *record scratches and skips and a dull pop is heard and the board goes black* *miscelaneous thumps, bumps and clatters are heard in the darkness along with muted curses and crashes* *the board lights back up and FireballMatt is standing center stage rather dusty looking and dressed in tatters and slightly hunched*
*begins singing slow and soft*
The world is cruel *frowns*
The world is wicked *deeper frown*
It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city *pounds chest*
I am your only friend *nods*
I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you *holds arms out wide*
I who look upon you without fear *spins in lazy circles*
How can I protect you, boy, unless you *hugs the air*
Always stay in here *stomp stomp*
Away in here *points down*
Remember what I taught you, Quasimodo *nod*
You are deformed *GASP!*
*FireballMatt runs around wildly about the stage as the curtain falls. Crashes are heard from the back along with more curses and clatters*
*cough, cough, hack*
*FireballMatt steps from backstage dusting off his normal clothes and coughing out lungfulls of dust* Man, sorry about that, I dunno what came over me. Better watch out though, it might be contageous! |
