3 Suddenly Seymour
Seymour: Seymour:
Lift up your head, wash off your mascara Tell me this feeling last 'til forever
Here, take my Kleenex, wipe that lipstick Tell me the bad times are clean washed

Show me your face clean as the mornin'
I know things were bad but now they're Audrey:
okay Please understand that it's still strange
and frightening
Suddenly, Seymour is standing beside you For losers like I've been it's so hard to say
You don't need no make-up don't have to
pretend Suddenly, Seymour
Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide you (Suddenly, Seymour)
Sweet understandin', Seymour's your He purified me
friend (He purified you)

14 Higher
There once was a little girl playing on a Higher, higher towards the sky
swing set Until the day she bent to kiss her mama a
That her grandpa built by the sycamore last goodbye
tree near the rusty farmyard gate
While her mama pinned the laundry the There once was a little boy who rode that
little girl would cry out loud swing set
"Push me higher, push me higher, push He had a licorice twist from the store in
me I can't wait" town and two knobby skinned-up knees
Her mama would push a couple times but While his sister pin the laundry, the little
there was laundry still to do boy would cry out loud,
So she learned to use her own strength, "Push me higher, push me higher, push
pull her own weight, push on through me, pretty please!"
The girl would push a couple times but
To swing higher, higher than before there was laundry still to do
Higher, but afraid to reach for something Then she watched, amazed, as that little
more boy simply pulled his own weight through
But now my life is upside down
To swing higher, higher than she dared There's no more farm, there's no more
Higher, how he swings so high and not be town, and no use asking why
scared? But I won't let it pass me by
Higher, he could touch the sky Life won't pass me by
Right then she knew that he would also I'll fly
one day tell her goodbye
Get back on that swing
That little boy, he seemed so sure, was it Higher, soaring higher up than anything
something never taught to her? Higher, I want something more
How the years passed quickly by that girl's I dreamed I'd reach for greater things
a woman still afraid to try. My eyes upon those golden rings
Is it too late to start again, get back that I'll take what chance the future brings
feeling I had then? And soar
15 Bad Idea
[JENNA]
It's a bad idea, me and you Heart, stop racing
Let's face it, making mistakes like this will
[DR. POMATTER, spoken] make worse what was already pretty bad
I know, I totally agree Mind, stop running
It's time we just let this thing go
[BOTH] It was a pretty good bad idea, wasn't it
It's a bad idea, me and you though?
16 My Petersburg
17 Monster
[ELSA]
It's finally come, come to knock down my Do I keep on running?
door How far do I have to go?
I can't hide this time like I hid before And will that take the storm away
The storm is awake, the danger is real Or only make it grow
My time's running out, don't feel, don't
feel I'm making my world colder
How long can it survive?
"Fear will be your enemy Is everyone in danger as long as I'm alive?
And death its consequence"
That's what they once said to me Was I a monster from the start?
And it's starting to make sense How did I end up with this frozen heart?
All this pain, all this fear began because of Bringing destruction to the stage
me Caught in a war that I never meant to
Is the thing they see, the thing I have to wage
be
Do I kill the monster?
A monster, were they right? Father, you know what's best for me
Has the dark in me finally come to light? If I die, will they be free?
Am I a monster full of rage Mother, what if after I'm gone
Nowhere to go but on a rampage? The cold gets colder and the storm rages
Or am I just a monster in a cage? on?
