Part XII
I’ve Gotta Be Me

Whether I’m right or whether I’m wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I’ve gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am?

Part XI
Here Comes the Boogeyman

Children, have you ever met the Boogeyman before?
No, of course you haven't, for you're much too good I'm sure
Don't you be afraid of him, if he should visit you
He's a great big coward, so I'll tell you what to do:
Hush-Hush-Hush
Here comes the Boogeyman!

"It was a strong effort of the spirit of good; but it was ineffectual. Destiny was too potent, and her immutable laws had decreed my utter and terrible destruction." – Frankenstein

Part X
Hold Back the Night

When you left
You took the sun right out of the sky
I'm wondering why you went away
Never told me, told me why
And then the sun goes down and the moon is clear
Scared to death 'cause your face appears

“Just a boy and a girl in a little canoe
And the moon shining all around
He paddled his paddle so
You couldn't even hear a sound
And they talked and they talked
Till the moon grew dim,
He said you better kiss me
Or get out and swim
So what you gonna do in a little canoe

Misty

Look at me
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And, I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand,
I get misty just holding your hand

“A baker lives here in the city,
He bakes cookies mostly all-day long.
He bakes big ones, he bakes small ones,
He bakes a few with sugar on top.

And in his window hangs Christmas tree decorations
And horses, pigs and gingerbread.
And if you're kind you can have some,
But if you're bad you must leave!” – Sockerbagaren: A Christmas Carol

Night and Day

Night and day, under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend life makin' love to you

“I won’t leave you, I won’t leave you
until you fall asleep and dream of the place
where nothing is red.
When is a monster not a monster?
Oh, when you love it.”

Time Has Told Me

Time has told me; You came with the dawn
A soul with no footprint; A rose with no thorn
Your tears they tell me, there’s really no way
Of ending your troubles
With things you can say

“But when he clearly recognized the pilot,
He cried: “Make haste, make haste to bow the knee!
Behold the Angel of God!” – The Divine Comedy, Purgatorio, Canto II

Part VI
After You’ve Gone

Oh, after the years, we've been together
The joy and tears and all kinds of weather
Someday, blue and downhearted
You'll long to be with me right back where you started
After I'm gone, after I'm gone away

“Hunting is a relic of the barbarous spirit that thirsted formerly for human blood, but is now content with the blood of animals.” ―Christian Nestell Bovee

It Had to Be You

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found, that somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me feel blue
And even be glad just to be sad, thinking of you.

“When he had made two snips, he saw the Little Red Riding Hood shining, and then he made two snips more, and the little girl sprang out, crying, ‘Ah, how frightened I have been. How dark it was inside the wolf.’” — Red Riding Hood.

Chasing Shadows

Chasing shadows
Chasing love dreams in vain
While my heart keeps on singing
Just a lonely refrain.

Strangers in the Night

Strangers in the night,
Exchanging glances
Wondering in the night;
What were the chances?
