Ladies and Gentlemen, The Incomparable Misty Moore
I'm pretty hard to chase now, since I stole your fancy shoes, huh?
Well, come on Titi, run run run run run
I'm pretty fun to case, aren't I, when I'm being snuck up on
Reflect on me oh hoh, how hum, how drum
I'm the star of the show
Every minute, every day
Don't it seem apropos that I play you on my stage?
I didn't mean to spit in your face
My Lady, My Liege
I guess I'm making haste now, looking for the next, the new me
Before you tarnish all that I have wrought
I've had a little taste of fortune, favour for the best me
And your little baby feet won't kick me off
Cause I'm the star of the show
Every minute, every day
Don't it seem apropos that I play you on my stage?
I didn't mean to spit in your face
Okay, maybe a little.
But Titi, please, you must, you have to understand
That I must do what I see fit for me, no less
See, your sovereignty was putting me through syzygy
And not the good kind, stars aligned
And showed me that my name
Belongs in light
I'm the star, I'm the star of the show
Ain't it apropos?
I'm the star of the show
Every minute, every day
Don't it seem apropos that I play you on my stage?
Baby, you've gotta know it's my stage
It's mine
It's mine
It's mine
It's mine
It's mine
I'm the star, the star of the show
Every minute, every day
Don't it, don't it seem apropos
That I play

Under My Protection
Uptown has got the broads and the shows, yeah
Uptown has got the suits and the shmoes, but darling
Downtown is where my mama lives
Downtown is where I help the kids
And downtown is where I take the double night shift
Come join
Come join
Come join the rat race
Among the pundits and prose
Come fight the mad haste
The stars are stealing the shows
They say that this is the place where the party could be
Maybe they're right but nobody's invited me
But in the moonlight I swear this city's greatest secret lived in you
And I know cause it lives in me, too
And I don't know about you,
But you make me feel so new
[oh no nonono nono no no no no non ono nono]
Would you have preferred it if I had said goodbye to you? Or lied to you?
City lights are her's, but in the streets our heartbeats don't align now.
You made me feel so new
Uptown has got the broads and the shows, yeah baby
Uptown has got the suits and the shmoes, but darling
Downtown is where my mama lives, oh honey
Downtown is under my protection.
Uptown has got the broads and the shows, yeah baby
Uptown has got the suits and shmoes, but darling
Downtown is where my mama lives, oh
Downtown
Downtown is under my protection.

Nodding Off
Oh little, little one
Son, baby, born of none
One day you'll come undone
Child of the earth and sun
Something you've never seen
Dreamer within my dream
Won't you come home to me?
Let Noddie set you free
Sleeping in silence, a worm in your head
Let me pick at the pieces, I'll help you amend
A girl dressed in fire, a scalpel in red
Oh, the things I could dream up instead
Might starlight and wonders be interesting?
A fool-hearted dope wouldn't know what he'd seen
A million disasters and millions of dreams
Care to take my hand, Petey?
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
Oh where are you now?
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
Your voice barely a sound
Nod is calling down
Oh little, little one
My son, my baby, born of none
A dreamer within my dream
You cannot escape, I fear this is fate
Little plug, don't resign
You are mine

Wait- wait, what is- what is happening? [ nononononon no nononono nono no]
Wait no, no no nono what? Ah shit. [nonon non onono nonono]
Oh, fuck. [noNonononoN nononoNOnno no]
Motherfucker [screaming]
I feel hot
I feel heavy
I feel the fire in my fingers
I feel ready
I feel Nod
I feel many
I hear their voices in my head
And I'm already in the pits.
Oh I already feel like shit.
Fuck
I don't know what I'm doing [no no non onononno no not again!]
oh, shit [non nonon nononononono onono]
I mean, I'm fuckin serious, I really have no clue.
Shit.

You
You, among the youth
You, among the truth and lies
You have proven
And you
You are ours
You are mine
Oh, you
You, among the grime
You, upon the streets
You, among the crime
You, upon two poor, aching feet
Come join me
Come join me
Come join me
Come join me
You are ours
You have been chosen
To handle great power
You belong
You belong to me
You belong to me, now
You belong to me.
