lyrics

DR. U:
Und now, my boy, you have reached das Shady Kingdom. You must finish this alone. Walk five careful steps forward, then you may remove the blindfold….bonne chance!

BOY:
One – two – three – four – five
Here I am!

SHADES:
Uh – uh – uh – uh
Uh – uh – uh – uh
Push! Pull!
Rock! Roll!
Bail! Pail!
Faster!

QUEEN OF THE DEAD:
(vocalizes)

BOY:
Well….
Come out come out wherever you are
Mr. King Of The Dead, I’ve traveled so far
And I’m not gonna be long
Come out come out wherever you are
Mr. King Of The Dead, I’ve traveled so far
Just gonna do one song

SHADES: (as QUEEN vocalizes)
Push! Pull!
Rock! Roll!
Bail! Pail!
Faster!

BOY:
Come out come out from a shadow unseen
Mr. King Of The Dead I hear your Queen
Come out and listen to me
Come out come out from a shadow unseen
Mr. King Of The Dead I hear your Queen
You’re the one I came to see

SHADES, BOY:
Here in violet night
See a strange and perfect wonder
A living man from in the place of light
Walking in the world down under.

KING OF THE DEAD:
Well well well.
What have we here.
Hello hello hello
I hear you can really sing
Well I’m Hell’s own CEO
Please don’t call me King.
Try to get this thru your head
It’s 2003 ya know
Don’t call me King Of The Dead
The title is CEO.
It’s always “thee” “thou” or “majesty please”
With the bowing and the scraping on the knees
It all seems so medieval
Don’t call me Pluto Mephisto or Hades
I work out at the gym and drive a Mercedes
That’s called 21st century evil.
Well I got a lot of power in my role
Behind the scenes I can control
Most every bank and corporation
But I don’t run the globe with a wink and a nod
I’m not omniscient I’m just a god
Born from your imagination.
Kick it shadies!

BOY:
Come on come on let’s finish this game
Mr King Of The Dead or whatever your name
You got someone I know
Come on come on let’s settle this thing
Mr. CEO and formerly King
Without her I won’t go.

CAST: (in rotation)
Here in violet night
See a strange and perfect wonder
A living man from in the place of light
Walking in the world down under.
