Rush of Blood to the Head Lyrics by The Art of Pleasing Princes Princeton University Players Cast

The Art of Pleasing Princes (Princeton University Players Cast Recording)

2022

ROWAN
If we get caught because you can’t take action
I’ll haunt you for the rest of your days
Just toss things around, knock some clothes to the ground
The dagger’s enough, we don’t need more delays
ALL
Not a second to lose, if nobody has died
To stage a murder so grisly that no body survived
MADDOX
With the evidence strewn
MAYA
In a sea of maroon
ROWAN
The poor princess slain on her own regal bed
ALL
Sir Jason just had a rush of blood to the head!
MAYA
What if my life outside’s not what I wanted?
Is this the worst mistake I’ve ever made?
A palace of riches is nothing to sniff at
But I’d never be free if I stayed
Falling in love makes you foolish
It blurs everything else from your sight
Maybe I’m wrong, but I’ve known all along
Without Maddox, no choice could be right!
There’s no turning back now, when their life’s on the line
They’ve risked dying for me, now it’s time to risk mine
And when the danger is past
We’ll grow flowers and laugh
At lives we could be living instead!
Betting it all on a rush of blood to the head
MADDOX
There’s an itch to the left of my temples
There’s a burn in the back of my brain
It’s been years since I last tried to call it
At least, years since the last time it came
Magic isn’t some stable equation
It’s more like an intricate dance
Ask for too much, it shrinks from your touch
Or engulfs you if it gets the chance
But there’s no time to waste, I just have to try
Is it worse if I drown or I’m hung out to dry?
If I remember the way, I can fix this display
And make sure she seems perfectly dead
If I count on a rush of blood to the head
ROWAN
Maybe she’s not the one I should watch for
I think Maddox is dangerous, too
But combined they’re ambitious and clever
Let them go and more troubles ensue
Can I kill her to make my rule certain?
Is there a chance that she won’t intervene?
Maybe she wants to leave, maybe she’s just naive
But how long ‘til she wants to be queen?
I’ve got to act first, if I want to be sure
Some unpleasantness now makes my power secure
But if she’s not a threat, will I come to regret
Ignoring this feeling of dread?
Another misstep, a rush of blood to the head
I swore a blood oath to bring us justice
Like the blood tide rising on the wall
If sororicide is bad, how’s it worse than killing Dad?
Even blood-related angels have to fall
MAYA
Dead princesses go to heaven
When they’ve found their way
They never have to listen
To what other people say
Dead princesses go to heaven
And hold their lovers close
They sacrifice their fathers
For the ones they love the most
MADDOX
It takes your words if you’re not careful, and I am very careful
When the roaring gets inside your head, you don’t have time to think
It will flood if you’re not careful, and I am very careful
When it tries to knock me over, I let it wash me to the brink
Older than darkness, older than light
Stronger than secrets, stronger than might
ROWAN
I swore a blood oath to bring us justice
Like the blood tide rising on the wall
And a sibling can’t be worse if a father’s not perverse
Even blood-related angels have to fall
MAYA
Dead princesses go to heaven
When they’ve found their way
They never have to listen
To what other people say
Dead princesses go to heaven
And hold their lovers close
They sacrifice their fathers
For the ones they love the most
MADDOX
It takes your words if you’re not careful
And I am very careful
When the roaring fills your ears sometimes you don’t have time to think
It will flood if you’re not careful
And I am very careful
When it tries to knock me over I let it wash me to the brink
ALL
And no one ever will know the perfect princess has fled!
Just a crime of passion
A rush of blood to the head!
A rush of blood to the head!
A rush of blood to the head!
ROWAN
A rush of blood to…
