La Vida Loca

AUDIENCE APPRECIATION PARTIES:

She’s into superstitions
Black cats and voodoo dolls
I feel a premonition
That girl’s gonna make me fall
She’s into new sensations
New kicks in the candlelight
She’s got a new addiction
For every day and night
She’ll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain
She’ll make you live her crazy life, but she’ll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain
Come on!
Upside, inside out
She’s livin’ la vida loca
She’ll push and pull you down
Livin’ la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin’s the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin’ la vida loca
Come on!
Livin’ la vida loca
Come on!
She’s livin’ la vida loca
Woke up in New York City
In a funky cheap hotel
She took my heart, and she took my money
She must’ve slipped me a sleeping pill
She never drinks the water and
Makes you order French champagne
Once you’ve had a taste of her
You’ll never be the same
Yeah, she’ll make you go insane
Come on!
Upside, inside out
She’s livin’ la vida loca
She’ll push and pull you down
Livin’ la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin’s the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin’ la vida loca
Come on!
Livin’ la vida loca
She’s livin’ la vida loca
She’ll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain
She’ll make you live her crazy life, but she’ll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain
Come on!
Upside, inside out
She’s livin’ la vida loca
She’ll push and pull you down
Livin’ la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin’s the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin’ la vida loca
Come on!
Upside, inside out
She’s livin’ la vida loca
She’ll push and pull you down
Livin’ la vida loca

A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow


Music is Mitch and Mickey’s “A Kiss At The End Of The Rainbow” from “A Mighty Wind”

R says: “This one I performed at Paramount after I’d left Guerilla Burlesque.
It was created to represent the end of a longtime contentious relationship.
I challenged myself to do a duo, and this almost broke me.
I still miss the person I thought she was.”

LYRICS

Oh when the veil of dreams has lifted,
And the fairy tales have all been told,
There’s a kiss at the end of the rainbow;
More precious than a pot of gold.

In tales of ancient glory,
Every knight and maiden fair shall be joined when the quest is over,
And a kiss is the oath that they swear.

And when the veil of dreams has lifted,
And the fairy tales have all been told,
There’s a kiss at the end of the rainbow;
More precious than a pot of gold.

My sweet, my dear, my darling, you’re so far away from me.
Though an ocean of tears divides us,
Let the bridge of our love span the sea.

There’s a kiss at the end of the rainbow,
More precious than a pot of gold.

Joy to the World

Joy to the world!
Joy to the world! Oh, woah
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world!
Joy to the world! Oh
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the earth receive her King!
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the angel voices ring
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the men their songs employ
Joy to the world then we sing
And repeat the sounding joy
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove (and makes the nations prove)
And glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the earth receive her King
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the angel voices ring

It’s All Coming Back to Me Now

There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it right outside the window
There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were drying up forever
I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can’t remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made
But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it’s all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It’s so hard to believe but
It’s all coming back to me
It’s all coming back
It’s all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I’d never do again
But then they’d always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby, baby
If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it’s all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it’s all coming back to me
It’s so hard to resist
And it’s all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it’s all coming back to me now
But it’s all coming back
There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse and so much deeper
There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we’d count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever (Forever)
But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it’s all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it’s all coming back to me
It’s all coming back, it’s all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we’d never do again
But then they’d always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, baby, baby
When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it’s all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it’s all coming back to me now
If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it’s all coming back to me now
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it’s all coming back to me now
And when you kiss me like this
(It’s all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It’s all coming back to me now)
And if you do it like this
(It’s all coming back to me now)
And if we

I Put a Spell on You

I put a spell on you
Because you’re mine
You better stop the things you do
I tell you, I ain’t lying
I ain’t lying
You know I can’t stand it
You’re running around
You know better daddy
I can’t stand it ’cause you put me down
Oh, no
I put a spell on you
Because you’re mine
You know I love you

And I don’t care
If you don’t want me

Because you’re mine
You know I can’t stand it
You’re running around
You know better daddy
I can’t stand it ’cause you put me down
Ooh-hoo-ooh
I put a spell on you
Because you’re mine

Oh

I am Dust

We we’re dust in a world
Of grim obsession.
We wouldn’t taunt from mouth
Like an isolation.
We we’re pulled from our path
Of least resistance.
And the songs we sang
What became of us?
We’re here waiting for you
We’re here waiting for you
We are yours
We’re waiting for you
We are yours
We’re waiting for you
We all pray for the end
For the god to take us.
We we’re falling down
One by one.
We we’re weak and the fear
Was all around us.
The machines screamed from
Moon to sun.
We’re here waiting for you
We’re here waiting for you
We are yours
We’re waiting for you
We are yours
We’re waiting for you

Holding Out for a Hero

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed
Late at night, I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong, and he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere, just beyond my reach
There’s someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder
And rising with the heat
It’s gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong, and he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is someone, somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
(Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood
Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood, blood)
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong, and he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong, and he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night

Hey Big Spender

The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction
A real big spender
Good lookin’ so refined
Say, wouldn’t you like to know what’s goin’ on in my mind?
So let me get right to the point
I don’t pop my cork for every man I see

Wouldn’t you like to have fun, fun, fun
How’s about a few laughs, laughs

I don’t pop my cork for every guy I see
Hey big spender

Her Strut

She’s totally committed, to major independence
But she’s a lady through and through
She gives them quite a battle, all that they can handle
She’ll bruise some, she’ll hurt some too
But oh, they love to watch her strut
Oh, they do respect her, but
They love to watch her strut, uh, oh yeah
Sometimes they want to leave her, just give up and leave her
But they would never play that scene
In spite of all her talking, once she starts in walking
The lady will be all they ever dreamed
Oh, they love to watch her strut
Oh, they’d kill to make the cut
They love to watch her strut
Oh yeah
Love to watch
Watch her strut, now
Oh, they love to watch her strut
Oh, they do respect her, but
They love to watch her strut, uh, oh yeah
Love the strut
Love to, love to
Love to watch her strut
Love to watch her strut, oh
Your strut, ooh
Love your strut
They love to watch her strut
Love to watch her strut
Oh yeah
They love, they love to watch her strut
