Lying in your bed and on a Saturday night
You’re sweatin’ buckets and it’s not even hot
But your brain has got the message
And it’s sending it out
To every nerve and every muscle you’ve got
You’ve got so many dreams
That you don’t know where to put ’em
So you’d better turn a few of ’em loose
Your body’s got a feeling that it’s starting to rust
You’d better rev it up and put it to use
And I don’t know how I ever thought that I could make it all alone
When you only make it better
And it better be tonight
And we’ll fly away on those angel wings of chrome in your daddy’s car
Waiting there for you tonight
I’ll be there for you tonight
Even if you don’t have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you’re ready to roll
And even if you don’t have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you’re ready to roll
And your speed
Is all you’ll ever need
All you’ll ever need to know
Darlin’, darlin’
You and me we’re goin’ nowhere slowly
And we’ve gotta get away from the past
There’s nothin’ wrong with goin’ nowhere, baby
But we should be goin’ nowhere fast
Everybody’s goin’ nowhere slowly
They’re only fighting for the chance to be last
There’s nothin’ wrong with goin’ nowhere, baby
But we should be goin’ nowhere fast
It’s so much better goin’ nowhere fast
Stalkin’ in the shadows by the light of the moon
It’s like a prison and the night is a cell
Goin’ anywhere has gotta be heaven tonight
‘Cause stayin’ here has gotta be hell
Dyin’ in the city like a fire on the water
Let’s go runnin’ on the back of the wind
There’s gotta be some action on the face of the earth
And I’ve gotta see your face once again
And I don’t know where I ever got the bright idea that I was cool
So alone and independent
But I’m depending on you now
And you’ll always be the only thing that I just can’t be without
And I’m out for you tonight
I’m comin’ out for you tonight
Even if you don’t have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you’re ready to roll (ready to roll)
Even if you don’t have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you’re ready to roll
And your speed
Is all you’ll ever need
All you’ll ever need to know
Darlin’, darlin’
You and me we’re goin’ nowhere slowly
And we’ve gotta get away from the past
There’s nothin’ wrong with goin’ nowhere, baby
But we should be goin’ nowhere fast
Everybody’s goin’ nowhere slowly
They’re only fighting for the chance to be last
There’s nothin’ wrong with goin’ nowhere, baby
But we should be goin’ nowhere fast
Godspeed

A solo routine by R… sort of.
“Soupy George” by Seven Seconds of Love.
R says: “I created this for Guerilla Burlesque on MST engine.
It was quick silly song that I’ve loved for years and envisioned running around like an idiot, knocking things over and making crazy soup and then falling into the vat at the end.
Adding the two “victims” in the middle was meant to be a thank you to supporters of dance.
When I get back to making routines, I hope to do them as silly as this one.
Oh, and the crates are full of prim cocks.”
Who’s that man with the soup on his head?
I said, Who’s that man with the soup on his head?
I said soupy george you got soup on your head
Soupy george you got soup on your head
Soupy george you got soup on your head
You stupid, soup-head soupy George
Soup on your head
Soup on your head
Soup on your head
Stupid soup-head soupy George
Soup on your head
Soup on your head
Soup on your head
Stupid soup-head soupy George
Who’s that man with the soup on his head?
I said, Who’s that man with the soup on his head?
I said soupy george you got soup on your head
Soupy george you got soup on your head
Soupy george you got soup on your head
You stupid, soup-head soupy George
Soup on your head
Soup on your head
Soup on your head
Stupid soup-head soupy George
Soup on your head

Soup on your head
Stupid soup-head soupy George
Oxtail, chicken, mushroom, minestrone
Ham and pea and panda nose and pony
Badger, bacon, bear and mascarpone
Tonsil, tapeworm, terrapin called Tony
Bits of beaver that are very bony
Fingernails, verrucas and baloney
Snot and teeth and eyes and macaroni
Centipede and squid and pepperoni
Soup on your head
Soup on your head
Soup on your head
Stupid soup-head soupy George
Soup on your head
Soup on your head

Stupid soup-head soupy George
You stupid soup-head soupy George

So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don’t just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close, no matter how far
It couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don’t just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah, yeah
So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters
When they called me broken, I knew
When they called me evil, I knew
When they called me ruin, I knew
I would always find my way to you
When I begged forgiveness, they knew
When I begged for mercy, they knew
When I begged for nothing, they knew
I would always find my way to you
My name is ruin
My name is vengeance
My name is no one
And no one is calling
My name is ruin
My name is heartbreak
My name is lonely
My sorrow’s a darkness
My name is ruin
My name is evil
My name’s a war song
I’ll sing you a new one
My name is ruin
My name is broken
My name is shameless
I’ll tear your world open
When I called you poison, you knew
When I called you shameful, you knew
When I called you liar, you knew
I would always find my way to you
I’ll show you ruin
I’ll show you vengeance
I’ll show you no one
And no one is calling
I’ll show you ruin
I’ll show you heartbreak
I’ll show you lonely
And sorrow and darkness
I’ll show you ruin
I’ll show you evil
I’ll sing you a war song
I’ll sing you a new one
I’ll show you ruin
I’ll show you broken
I’ll show you shameless
I’ll tear your world open
I was working in the lab, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He did the monster mash
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash
(He did the mash) It caught on in a flash
(He did the mash) He did the monster mash
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
They did the monster mash
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash
(They did the mash) It caught on in a flash
(They did the mash) They did the monster mash
The zombies were having fun (Wa hoo, tennis shoe)
The party had just begun (Wa hoo, tennis shoe)
The guests included Wolfman, Dracula and his son
The scene was rockin’, all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, ‘The Crypt-Kicker Five’
They played the monster mash
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash
(They played the mash) It caught on in a flash
(They played the mash) They played the monster mash
Out from his coffin, Drac’s voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist and said
“Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?
It’s now the monster mash
(The monster mash) And it’s a graveyard smash
(It’s now the mash) It’s caught on in a flash
(It’s now the mash) It’s now the monster mash
Now everything’s cool, Drac’s a part of the band
And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
Then you can monster mash
(The monster mash) And do my graveyard smash
(Then you can mash) You’ll catch on in a flash
(Then you can mash) Then you can monster mash
Easy Igor, you impetuous young boy (Wa hoo, monster mash)
(Wa hoo, monster mash)
(Wa hoo, monster mash)
(Wa hoo, monster mash)
(Wa hoo, monster mash)
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION PARTIES:
The child is a king, the carolers sing
The old has passed, there’s a new beginning
Dreams of Santa, dreams of snow
Fingers numb, faces aglow
Oh, it’s Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see
A time for living, a time for believing
A time for trusting, not deceiving
Love and laughter and joy ever after
Ours for the taking, just follow the master
Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see
It’s a time for giving, a time for getting
A time for forgiving, and for forgetting
Christmas is love, Christmas is peace
A time for hating and fighting to cease
Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see
Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme

[Boy]
[Intro]
And you said nothing at all
Well I couldn’t have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
[Verse 1]
Little lady
I think there’s something on your mind
I’ve known you long enough to know
The words are not that hard to find
And the harder you try
And the longer you go
Well there’s nothing but love
In those eyes anymore
You know what to say
But you never know how
You can keep your mouth shut
Because it doesn’t really
Matter right now
I will guide you all the way
Because I know exactly
What you’re trying to say
You have the right
To remain silent
I’ll get the lights
You get that smile
[Chorus]
And you say nothing at all
Well I couldn’t have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
[Verse 2]
[Boy]
I see the angels
They’re standing right outside your door
[Girl]
They’re watching over me
They’re watching over us all
[Boy]
You can send them home tonight
Because you won’t need them anymore
[Girl]
In your arms
I think I’ve found
The safest place to fall
[Both]
When I step in the door and I stare at your face
There are so many things that I wish I could say
Well i struggle with words but they put up a fight
You can keep your mouth shut
Because it doesn’t really matter tonight
I will guide you
All the way (tonight)
Because I know exactly
What you’re trying to say
[Girl]
You have the right
To remain silent
I’ll get the lights
You get that smile
[Chorus: Both]
And you say nothing at all
Well I couldn’t have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
[Both]
And I know you feel the same
You’ve been searching for the words
Now you know what to say
Oh yeah
[Boy]
Just say nothing
Don’t say a word
Silence is gold
[Girl]
Don’t say a word
Shhh
[instrumental bridge]
[Both]
This is the moment we’ve been waiting for (ohh yeah!)
If I exercise my right
I will take your body language
And hold it against you tonight
[Both]
And I know you feel the same
I’ve wondered all my life
If this moment comes
Would I know what to say
[Both]
Then you say nothing at all
(So many times I stumbled on the words that I wanted to say)
You said nothing at all
(So many thoughts that I should have just let my heart explain)
You said nothing at all
(So many ways we could turn the words around)
You said nothing at all
(So many nights our hearts came crashing to the ground)
You said nothing at all
(So many dreams that are finally coming true)
Well I could’nt have said it better myself
(Now you finish me off when
You finish my thoughts the way you do)
[Chorus]
And you say nothing at all
Well I couldn’t have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
You say nothing at all
Well I couldn’t have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
You say nothing at all
Well I couldn’t have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
You say nothing at all
Well I couldn’t have said it better myself…
Choreography and Set: R.
Music: “Play the Game Tonight” by Kansas
R says: “The first routine that I ever created. Was the basis of an article I wrote for Inara Pey’s blog.
I asked a bunch of people for their thoughts on how to improve it as I made it.
Got to learn a lot of people’s styles and prefections.
Grateful for the guidance.
The routine is symbolic of the need to perform over and over and over until you’re at the breaking point, sharing all you have.
And dying at the end for your art. Giving everything up.
The red queen kills me… a wink and nod to my friend Red Queen.”
You think that something’s happening
And it’s bigger than your life
But it’s only what you’re hearing
Will you still remember
When the morning light has come?
Will the songs be playing over and over
Till you do it all over again?
Play (Play)
Play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it’s wrong or right?
Is it worth the time, is it worth the price?
Do you see yourself in a white spotlight?
Then play the game tonight
And when the curtains open
To the roaring of the crowd
You will feel it all around you
Then it finally happens
And it’s all come true for you
And the songs are playing over and over
Till you do it all over again
Play (Play)
Play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it’s wrong or right?
Is it worth the time, is it worth the price?
Do you see yourself in the white spotlight?
Then play the game tonight
Play (Play)
Play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it’s wrong or right?
Is it worth the time, is it worth the price?
Do you see yourself in the white light?
Play (Play)
Play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it’s wrong or right?
Is it worth the time, is it worth the price?
Do you see yourself in the white spotlight?
(Play the game tonight)
(Play the game tonight)
