My Life: Act Six: She’s Got A Way

SCENE TWO: A Matter Of Trust: Duet between James and Laura deciding to stick it out.

James

One, two, one, two, three, four

Some love is just a lie of the heart

The cold remains of what began with a passionate start

Laura

And they may not want it to end

But it will it’s just a question of when

I’ve lived long enough to have learned

The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned

James

But that won’t happen to us

Cause it’s always been a matter of trust

I know you’re an emotional girl

It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world

I can’t offer you proof

But you’re going to face a moment of truth

Laura

It’s hard when you’re always afraid

You just recover when another belief is betrayed

James

So break my heart if you must

It’s a matter of trust

You can’t go the distance

With too much resistance

I know you have doubts

But for god’s sake don’t shut me out

Laura

This time you’ve got nothing to lose

You can take it, you can leave it, whatever you choose

I won’t hold back anything

And I’ll walk away a fool or a king

James

Some love is just a lie of the mind

It’s make believe until its only a matter of time

Laura

And some might have learned to adjust

But then it never was a matter of trust

James

I’m sure you’re aware love

We’ve both had our share of believing too long

When the whole situation was wrong

Laura

Some love is just a lie of the soul

A constant battle for the ultimate state of control

After you’ve heard lie upon lie

There can hardly be a question of why

James

Some love is just a lie of the heart

The cold remains of what began with a passionate start

But that can’t happen to us

Cause it’s always been a matter of trust

Laura

It’s a matter of trust

It’s always been a matter of trust

James

It’s a matter of trust

Cause it’s always been a matter of trust

My Life: Act Six: She’s Got A Way

She’s Got a Way: Duet between Rosalinda and girlfriend Josephine

Musical Stylings: Sam Lee and Sydney Ku

SCENE THREE: Rosalinda and her girlfriend Josephine celebrate their success. 

Rosalinda

I’m sorry about the mix up with your absentee ballot. I had to clear something up at Zanzibar with this kid from the concert.

Josephine

It has been total pandemonium as of late, so I don’t blame you for the mixup. ColbyVotes made voting in person exceedingly easy with the shuttle outside the Spa all day: chock full of snacks and hand warmers

Rosalinda

We can use those for skating on Johnson Pond before climbing night!

Josephine

Speaking of climbing: The pants are finally coming out!

Rosalinda

Ruggette: Strong gear for strong womxn

Josephine

It just feels as if womxn have been traditionally excluded from the outdoor industry.

Rosalinda

We’ve always had to shop in the men section for better gear options

Josephine 

Ruggette was founded with the goal of promoting gender equity in the outdoors by providing gear for every kind of womxn.

Rosalinda

It’s as if women who love the outdoors have been pushed to turn away from traditional norms of femininity, in order to be accepted as rugged. 

Josephine

Ruggette has a better ring to it anyways 

Rosalinda

And you can’t beat that new charcoal color.  

Josephine

I can’t believe you managed to release the pants amidst the pandemic.

Rosalinda

I couldn’t have done it without you

My Life: Act Six: She’s Got A Way

SCENE FOUR: All For Leyna: Sung by Tony after being stood up by Leyna at Zanzibar. He returns back home in frustration.

Tony

She stood on the tracks
Waving her arms
Leading me to that third rail shock
Quick as a wink
She changed her mind
She gave me a night
That’s all it was
What will it take until I stop
Kidding myself
Wasting my timeThere’s nothing else I can do
‘Cause I’m doing it all for Leyna
I don’t want anyone new
‘Cause I’m living it all for Leyna
There’s nothing in it for you
‘Cause I’m giving it all to LeynaWe laid on the beach
Watching the tide
She didn’t tell me there were rocks
Under the waves
Right off the shore
Washed up on the sand
Barely alive
Wishing the undertow would stop
How can a man take anymoreThere’s nothing else I can do
‘Cause I’m doing it all for Leyna
I don’t want anyone new
‘Cause I’m living it all for Leyna
There’s nothing in it for you
‘Cause I’m giving it all to LeynaI’m failing in school
Losing my friends
Making my family lose their minds
I don’t want to eat
I don’t want to sleep
I only want Leyna one more timeNow I’m in my room
Watching the tube
Telling myself she still may drop
Over to say
She’s changed her mind
So, I wait in the dark
Listening for her
Instead of my old man saying stop!
Kidding yourself
Wasting your timeThere’s nothing else I can do
‘Cause I’m doing it all for Leyna
Don’t want anyone new
‘Cause I’m living it all for Leyna
There’s nothing in it for you
‘Cause I’m giving it all to Leyna
All for leyna
All for leyna

My Life: Act Six: She’s Got A Way

SCENE FIVE: The Entertainer: After Johnny and the band complain to Mister Cacciatore on how hard it is to get a gig, he agrees to let them perform at Zanzibar over the weekend.

Mister Cacciatore

I am the entertainer

And I know just where I stand

Another serenader

And another long haired band

Today I am your champion

I may have won your hearts

But I know the game, you’ll forget my name

And I won’t be here in another year

If I don’t stay on the charts

I am the entertainer

And I’ve had to pay my price

The things I did not know at first

I learned by doin’ twice

Ah, but still they come to haunt me

Still they want their say

So I’ve learned to dance with a hand in my pants

I let ’em rub my neck and I write ’em a check

And they go their merry way

I am the entertainer

Been all around the world

I’ve played all kinds of palaces

And laid all kinds of girls

I can’t remember faces

I don’t remember names

Ah, but what the hell

You know it’s just as well

‘Cause after a while and a thousand miles

It all becomes the same

I am the entertainer

I bring to you my songs

I’d like to spend a day or two

I can’t stay that long

No, I’ve got to meet expenses

I got to stay in line

Gotta get those fees to the agencies

And I’d love to stay but there’s bills to pay

So I just don’t have the time

I am the entertainer

I come to do my show

You’ve heard my latest record

It’s been on the radio

Ah, it took me years to write it

They were the best years of my life

It was a beautiful song

But it ran too long

If you’re gonna have a hit

You gotta make it fit

So they cut it down to 3:05

I am the entertainer

The idol of my age

I make all kinds of money

When I go on the stage

Ah, you’ve seen me in the papers

I’ve been in the magazines

But if I go cold I won’t get sold

I’ll get put in the back in the discount rack

Like another can of beans

I am the entertainer

And I know just where I stand

Another serenader

And another long haired band

Today I am your champion

I may have won your hearts

But I know the game, you’ll forget my name

I won’t be here in another year

If I don’t stay on the charts
