THE DARK INSIDE HUPHELUMPHAGUS Please, let me be, just give me room to breath There’s something going on inside A voice in my head - what was that you said? There’s something going on inside Something’s creeping just beneath Something’s feeding off of me Something’s killed the lights Something isn’t right Something wants to free the dark inside Something’s eating me, I can hardly breath It’s try’n to tell me it’s all right A voice is in my head and this is what he said: Give over to the dark inside Where can you run when the void’s ate the sun When darkness is the one you hide? What can you do when it all points to you When you move to the dark inside? Oooh-ohh FELTINA My love, just tell me what to do Let me help you, we’ll get you through HUPHELUMPHAGUS Something says to harm FELTINA You know that voice is wrong HUPHELUMPHAGUS What I know to do’s Not what I feel is true: It’s gone FELTINA Someone help her quick! She’s shuddering, she’s sick Hold on baby it’s all right Whatever you’ve got there, whatever you’ve caught, there’s An answer that we’re gonna find HUPHELUMPHAGUS Where can you run when the void’s ate the sun When darkness is the one you hide? What can you do when it all points to you When you move to the dark inside? Oooh-ohh FELTINA Please you gotta be strong! Please just do it for me! You’re not acting yourself - I’m worried baby, let me help you please! HUPHELUMPHAGUS You don’t understand! You can’t fix a disease Cuz whatever it is Is something that’s alive in me! Oh-oh FELTINA My god what is this, it is stretching her skin There’s something moving round inside! Why can’t I move - there’s nothing I can do To save her from her dark inside HUPHELUMPHAGUS Where can you run when the void’s ate the sun When darkness is the one you hide? What can you do when it all points to you When you move to the dark inside? Oooh-ohh __/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/ LADY HISTORY BLUES SONDRA No. Unlike Medicare for all this will pass. Look to history to help face the future ...

(Sings.) Lady history’s a little bit grim Her story’s always weighed out as lesser to His But give her many pages a skim You’ll find the definition of courage to live

To fight for rights they outta already give A laundry list of heroes dismissed and pissed They gotta bed permission to exist So they resist!

And that’s your lady history!

Lady history blues, lady history blues An instigators and rebels Who’s Who Lady history blues, lady history blues Take a page from the girls who refuse, we

Ain’t gonna give any one the satisfaction Of having us miss out on any of the action! Lady history blues, lady history blues Us ladies better stay in our lane At the top of our game and the chain Don’t let these little Mitches complaints Drive us from the climb to claim our fair shake

Cuz Susan B please are you kidding me, Mitches be Slippin if they think we giving in, settling Gender’s a construct constricting us - ‘Lizabeth Stanton is standing up, handing out pamphlets: Declaration of Sentiments - Let us in! Margaret Sanger’s a target, they hate her for arguing Our bodies are ours, when we work, we work hard So raise a stink, Patsy Mink: pay us our dollars up!

They say they’re gonna try to burn or drown Any of us for standing up / speaking out And so we SHOUT

Cuz that’s your lady history

Lady history blues, lady history blues Through the fire we forge something new Lady history blues, lady history blues Watch out now cuz we’re making the rules! They treat us as objects - need to see us as people. Cuz violence is obvious till they treat us as equals Lady history blues, lady history blues

COMBOLADY 2 Oooooh oh oh oh ...

SONDRA

You’re here today cuz smart girls stayed in the picture So break ground like Lovelace, don’t be a hidden figure Like Gladys West, shape the world, point us where we’re moving Like Edith Clark, do what they say woman aren’t supposed to be doing Like Amazing Grace make the change that everyone’s allergic to Like Mae Jemison go touch the sky and prove that all of us can too!

When people are scared they see a demon in change When people have power they don’t want it taken away When people won’t give you a chance than that’s what you take

And that’s your lady history!

Lady history blues, lady history blues An instigators and rebels Who’s Who Lady history blues, lady history blues Take a page from the girls who refuse: When somebody tells you that it ain’t your place Crush his Emily Dickenson in and give him a wave!

COMBOLADY 2

Bye bye!

BOTH

Lady history blues, lady history blues Lady history blues, lady history blues Lady history blues, lady history blues

FUZZSTICKS

PANGLA

Hey, no. You’re my brother. It’s going to be rainbow-licious!

(Sings.)

When life has got you moping It’s hard to cut yourself some slack But don’t you ever stop hoping: Your twin sis has got your back

Sometimes something silly Just a little nonsense phrase Can break you from your spiral Just give a try and be amazed

Let’s find a little funny thing to say

Well how bout Fuzzsticks?

FUZZO What?

PANGLA Yeah just say Fuzzsticks! It’ll be our fuzz trick When you’re feeling ick, Just give a tickle

Fuzzsticks! You stinking Fuzzstick! Oh, I could Fuzzstick! And you might smiiiiiile.

FUZZO My problems are too serious, My depression won’t be defied

PANGLA That’s what your sad wants you to think Why not give Fuzzsticks a try?

FUZZO Hey, up your Fuzzstick! Don’t be a Fuzzstick!

Ha

PANGLA Is that a smiiiiile?

FUZZO

Yeah... Ok that was pretty fun, but

We giggle now but Fuzzsticks Will it help when I feel alone? Will it help when I remember That I’m a failure, and dethroned? Will it ease the pain recalling How I made my mother cry Which Caused her to seek vengeance So she made my brother die?

PANGLA Together we can love and hope and try

FUZZO ...Hey there depression! Go eat a Fuzzstick! You’re such a Fuzzstick All you do is take my time!

PANGLA There’s an expression... FUZZO Oh what was it...

BOTH RIGHT! Lick my Fuzzstick! You useless guuuuuuy!

FUZZO But this won’t solve all my problems

PANGLA That’s not really the goal; Just to break you from the loop-

FUZZO Right! And give me back control!

So I say Fuzzsticks! That’s our Fuzz trick! Me and my Fuzz sis It makes us smiiiiiile!

BOTH Smiiiiiiile!

FUZZO Smile, and remember that the future isn’t known I am not decided yet, that’s under my control And when the darkness and the hardness tell me I’m their own And when my heart rate quickens, and I sicken, losing hope

I’ll see your face, I’ll take a breath and go:

BOTH Fuzzsticks! All is Fuzzsticks! Sing out Fuzzsticks! All is well! Bada-da-dat-da-da! Fuzzsticks! Give me Fuzzsticks! All is Fuzzsticks! Let it swell! Bada-da-dat-da-da! Na na na na na na! ... Bada-da-dat-da-da! Na na na na na na! ... Bada-da-dat-da-da!

FUZZO

But what if I am hurting From a thing I cannot change From someone I am missing Who’s dead and gone away Fuzzsticks can’t revive them Return them from the grave PANGLA

Maybe if we try together Fuzzsticks’ll help us in a way, Thru a connection we both hold and save

FUZZO Oh Brushee... Fuzzsticks, I’m sorry Your death was gnarly And I in part deserve the fault

[POOF!]

BRUSHEE Oh my dear Fuzzo... Release your struggle In you I’m snuggled At peace, alive

Death is a petty thing: For all it tries to steal, It gives us purpose in the end To love in a way that’s real

And I love this, Fuzz bruh and Fuzz sis Will all my Fuzzsticks, Your my sunshiiiiiine!

My sunshine:

ALL THREE Fuzzsticks! All is Fuzzsticks! Sing out Fuzzsticks! All is well! Bada-da-dat-da-da! Fuzzsticks! Give me Fuzzsticks! All is Fuzzsticks! Let it swell! Bada-da-dat-da-da! Na na na na na na! ... Bada-da-dat-da-da! Na na na na na na! ... Bada-da-dat-da-da!
