Lyrics: Dave Malloy
Music: Dave Malloy
SADIE
my heart broke
and then the world broke
and then my brain broke too
and i don’t know which one to blame
i just know i’m not the same
i’ve been drifting
drifting through the haze
drifting through the haze
sometimes it feels like this is not my life
but someone else’s life
a phantom pantomime
of my true life
and i don’t know how to get back
sometimes i try to speak
but all my thoughts fold on themselves
and all my words come out like paper wings
that flutter and disintegrate likе ash
i never recovеred from the crash
my heart broke
and then the world broke
and then my brain broke too
SADIE, SUSAN & BECKETT
and i don’t know which one to blame
i just know i’m not the same
SADIE
i’ve been drifting
SADIE, SUSAN & BECKETT
drifting through the haze
drifting through the haze
SADIE
some days i can’t quite remember
what i did the night before
my memories mock me in the darkness
i can’t tell what’s real or not anymore
SADIE, SUSAN & BECKETT
my heart broke
and then the world broke
and then my brain broke too
and i don’t know which one to blame
i just know i’m not the same
SADIE
i’ve been drifting
SADIE, SUSAN & BECKETT
drifting through the haze
drifting through the haze
SADIE
and i don’t know how to move forward
how could i leave so much of me behind?
(wolf takes a cigarette and blows a loooooooooong exhale of smoke into sadie’s face
the lights fade. light applause from wolf, susan, and beckett, as sadie returns to her seat. the electronic loop from the first scene resumes.)
