King of Shadows Lyrics by Laura Murphy

The Lovers Original Cast Recording

2024

[OBERON]
I can't even with you
[PUCK]
Me?
But you're the mastermind behind this scheme
I'm just your humble servant doing all your bidding
I mean, you were kidding
If you thought this wasn't fraught from the beginning
[COMPANY]
Oh, oh
[OBERON]
This isn't how it's supposed to go
It should be simple
It should be fun, and laughter
Now nobody gets to live happily ever after
[COMPANY]
Whoa, oh
[PUCK]
I want them to be happy, of course
I just don't know if we can force it, my lord
We don't have a great rack record
[COMPANY]
Whoa, oh
[HELENA]
I can't live a day without you
[DEMETRIUS]
I can't live a day without you
[LYSANDER]
I can't live a day without you
[HERMIA]
Your love's to die for
[DEMETRIUS]
Your love
[HERMIA]
Your love
[LYSANDER]
Your lovе
[COMPANY]
Is to die for
[HELENA, spoken]
Hello?
[OBERON]
We need to gеt each couple separated?
[DEMETRIUS, spoken]
Us?
[OBERON]
So that nothin' is cross-pollinated
[HERMIA, spoken]
Wait!
[OBERON]
And then we'll get what's left of the elixir
And spritz each couple with just a couple of drips
[LYSANDER, spoken]
You!
[OBERON]
And when the sun comes up
[DEMETRIUS, spoken]
You!
[OBERON]
And they see each other
[HELENA, DEMETRIUS, HERMIA & LYSANDER]
You
[OBERON]
They'll be all loved up and they'll start to wonder
If everything that has been was nothing but a dream
Euphoria, we'll fix this mess we've made
Euphoria, a gift to numb the pain
What else are we good for?
What else do we have?
[PUCK, spoken]
My lord! My love! Enough
If we shadows have offended
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumbered here
While these visions did appear;
And this weak and idle theme
No more yielding but a dream
[COMPANY]
A dream
[PUCK]
Take my hand, wash it all away tonight
We'll start over
Clean the slate, we need to leave the rest to them
Maybe the happy ending we fixate on
Needs a little adaptation
So no more illusions, no more confusions
Just the truth they pursue
And a little wakeup call
Wash it all away
[OBERON]
Wash it all away
[PUCK & OBERON]
Wash it all away
