Agony (Reprise) Lyrics by Gavin Creel, Joshua Henry

Into the Woods (2022 Broadway Cast Recording)

2022

[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 found a casket
Entirely of glass—
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]
Dwarfs?!
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Dwarfs!
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Dwarfs are very upsetting
[BOTH]
Not forgetting
The tasks unachievable
Mountains unscalable—
If it's conceivable
But unavailable
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...
