Heidi Landesman - Agony: Reprise lyrics

[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] High in a tower-- Like yours was, but higher-- A beauty asleep All 'round the tower A thicket of briar A hundred feet deep Agony! No frustration more keen When the one thing you want Is a thing that you've not even seen [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] I've found a casket Entirely of gla**-- No, it's unbreakable Inside--don't ask it-- A maiden, alas Just as unwakeable [BOTH] What unmistakable agony! Is the way always barred? [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] She has skin white as snow-- [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] Did you learn her name? [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] No, there's a dwarf standing guard [BOTH] Agony! Such that princes must weep! Always in thrall most To anything almost Or something asleep [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] If it were not for the thicket-- [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] A thicket's no trick. Is it thick? [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] It's the thickest [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] The quickest is pick it apart with a stick-- [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] Yes, but even one prick-- It's my thing about blood [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] Well, it's sick! [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] It's no sicker than your thing with dwarves [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] Dwarves [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] Dwarves... [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] Dwarves are very upsetting [BOTH] Not forgetting the task's unachievable Mountains unscalable-- If it's conceivable But unavailable Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-- Agony! [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] Misery! [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] Woe! [BOTH] Not to know what you miss [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] While they lie there for years-- [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] And you cry on their biers-- [BOTH] What unbearable bliss! Agony, that can cut like a knife! Ah well, back to my wife...
