Come From Away the Musical - Costume Party Lyrics
JANICE (spoken)
Three forty-five a.m.
Overnight the communities population has gone
from approximately 9,000 to 16,000.
I'm sure barely any of us have slept tonight.
We're hopeful that our visitors will be back in the air come morning
KEVIN T. (spoken)
I woke up from this dream, which I can't quite remember
But there was this music in it that I'd heard somewhere before
KEVIN J. (spoken)
I woke up from a dream
that we were stuck in some backwater Canadian town
and that my air mattress deflated
BOB (spoken)
I woke up to the smell of freshly baked bread
ANNETTE (spoken)
Four a.m. in Newfoundland is breakfast time in Germany,
and we got a lot of passengers here from Frankfurt,
so breakfast starts at four a.m. and we start scrambling eggs
BOB (spoken)
Poached eggs, scrambled eggs, omelettes
DIANE (spoken)
Fried baloney
NICK (spoken)
Something called toutons
KEVIN T. (spoken)
I saw a casserole dish I don't think I could lift
BOB (spoken)
They made enough food to feed 7,000 people
It's like they never slept
BEULAH (spoken)
There's this one man from the Middle East.
Well, we don't really know -
hasn't said a word to a soul,
and some of the other passengers seem a bit wary of him,
so it's a little odd to find him poking around the kitchen
ALI (spoken)
Oh, hello
BEULAH (spoken)
Hello, can I help you with something?
ALI (spoken)
I would like to be of assistance with the food
BEULAH (spoken)
Oh no, that's not necessary.
Really, you go out there and sit down
CLAUDE (spoken)
I've been going all night but I can't stop.
None of us can.
I splash some cold water on my face and just keep going.
We've got 7,000 scared
and angry people who don't want to be here,
And they're about to wake up
DIANE
In a crowded room
Filled with strangers sleeping
KEVIN T.
An airplane blanket
And pillow on the floor
DIANE
The sun comes streamin'
Through the window
DIANE, KEVIN T.
And I can't sleep anymore
KEVIN J.
Staring at these strangers
Waking up around me
HANNAH
Sitting in a crowd of people
Waiting for the phone
KEVIN J.
And in a town that suddenly doubled population
KEVIN J., HANNAH, DIANE, KEVIN T.
I feel so alone
KEVIN J.
It's like any of us could have died on Tuesday
KEVIN T.
And that we're dared to see things differently today
DIANE
I'm feeling different
HANNAH
Just seems -
KEVIN J.
Strange
KEVIN T.
Who are these people here?
HANNAH
Where am I?
DIANE
No one knows me here
DIANE, HANNAH, KEVIN T., KEVIN J.
Who am I if I don't feel like the me from yesterday
NICK (spoken)
I wake up in a crowded room full of people sleeping on the floor.
And I see Diane and ask, "are we leaving?"
DIANE (spoken)
Any time now
NICK (spoken)
Is your hair different? I mean - you look good. I like it
DIANE (spoken)
Ah thank you. No shampoo for three days
KEVIN T. (spoken)
They start handing out clothes to anyone who needs them
KEVIN J. (spoken)
I haven't changed my clothes in thirty-nine hours
BOB (spoken)
I wanted to burn my socks
KEVIN J. (spoken)
Kevin puts on this plaid - thing. He says he's "incognito"
And that he's "going to blend in with the natives",
But he just looks like a gay lumberjack
DIANE
Changing into another woman's donated set of clothes
KEVIN T.
Looking different
Feeling kinda different too
DIANE
I can't quite explain
KEVIN T.
But when I woke
DIANE
When David wasn't on that plane
DIANE, KEVIN T.
It's like I changed into somebody else, but who?
And it's somehow like we're at a costume party
KEVIN T.
And for a second you are not yourself
DIANE
- You are not yourself
KEVIN T.
And you look around
And blink your eyes
DIANE
And barely even recognize
DIANE, KEVIN T.
The person in the mirror who's turned into someone else
KEVIN J. (spoken)
Hey little sister.
Yeah still here where they eat rainbows for breakfast.
Are you taking care of mom?
No, I just wish I was home. No, not L.A. - Brooklyn.
Shut up, you're such a brat.
No, I just needed to hear your voice
BEULAH (spoken)
Excuse me, are you Hannah?
HANNAH (spoken)
Yeah, that's me
BEULAH (spoken)
My name's Beulah.
Someone told me your son's a firefighter? Yeah, mine is too,
Here in town. And I know, Gander's not New York,
But is there anything I can do?
HANNAH (spoken)
No, I just need to hear from my son
BEULAH (spoken)
I understand
HANNAH
Prayin' for a phone call
KEVIN J.
Praying for a way home
KEVIN J. HANNAH]
Asking questions
KEVIN J.
Asking can I get back on that god-forsaken plane
HANNAH
And all around me people chat
KEVIN J.
And people snack
KEVIN J., HANNAH
Like nothing's happened
And I need to hear we're going back before I go insane
BEVERLY (spoken)
Good morning, I'm Captain Bass.
I've just heard from the airline. Now,
I know this is gonna be hard to hear,
But the American airspace remains closed.
I can't tell you how long we'll be on the ground,
but we are gonna be here for some time
DIANE
Here for some time
KEVIN J.
- Here for some time
HANNAH
- Here for too long
KEVIN T.
- Here for how long?
KEVIN J.
- When will we know
DIANE, HANNAH, KEVIN T.
- When will we know
KEVIN J., DIANE, HANNAH, KEVIN T.
How much longer?
HANNAH (spoken)
Beulah, wait. Can you help me find a Catholic church?
DIANE (spoken)
I can't sit here, I need to get some air
KEVIN T. (spoken)
Let's go see where we are.
The sun's out it'll do you good!
KEVIN J. (spoken)
Seriously? You know what? Go get lost in the woods,
I'm gonna be ready when we leave
KEVIN J. HANNAH
And it's somehow like we're stuck here
at a messed up costume party
KEVIN T. DIANE
And there's nothing here for millions -
KEVIN J., HANNAH
- Far away from those you care for
KEVIN T., DIANE, KEVIN J., HANNAH
On an isolated island in between
There and here (There and here)
