Tomorrow Is Tonight Lyrics |
2006 Off-Broadway Gutenberg! the Musical - Tomorrow Is Tonight Lyrics
The song is written by Scott Brown and Anthony King.
BUD: (spoken) Elderly patrons may wish to turn down their hearing devices
DOUG: (spoken) In an actual production This song would include electric guitars... And lasers
BUD: (spoken) Scene eight The rooftops of Schlimmer Gutenberg stands, straddling a chimney Smoke billows up around his face
DOUG (as Johan Gutenberg): When I got out of bed today History was a lot more boring Then I thought in a different way Now the bird of inspiration’s soaring Look at these hands! They’re attached to a normal man A normal man who prob’ly changed your world Tomorrow is tonight It’s a history and future fight Tomorrow is tonight
(no longer in character)
Monk rises from an adjacent chimney He is surrounded by fire and bats!
BUD: (as Monk) Today, I killed the future Now my badness knows no bounds My plan unfurled To trick that girl Now the bird of inspiration’s on the ground
(spoken) Splat! Ha!
(singing) I crushed his dream! You don’t change the world with a dumb machine! At least not while this Monk is still in town Tomorrow is tonight It’s a history and future fight Tomorrow is tonight
(no longer in character)
Helvetica is also... on a roof
DOUG: (as Helvetica) I feel like a bird A bird who just destroyed a printing press A bird who’s in some serious distress I don’t have wings That is bad for flying things
BUD: (as Monk) Monk’s in command!
DOUG: (as Johan Gutenberg) Don’t say can’t when you could say can!
BOTH: (as Johan Gutenberg & Monk) You only get one chance to be a star! Tomorrow is tonight It’s a future fight
DOUG: (as Johan Gutenberg) Tomorrow
BUD: (as Monk) Tomorrow
BOTH: (as Johan Gutenberg & Monk) Tomorrow is tonight
DOUG: (as Helvetica) Tomorrow is...
(spoken) What have I done?
BOTH: (spoken) Intermission!
