Lyrics

FORTH
He says you need a happy ending
So we will serve you one

DARK
Not some lame old swan song
Teaching life lessons

PAP, PAR & AZZI
Our denouement
Snarky wiseass fun

DIVA
If Armageddon is too extreme a thought
We can protect you

PAP, PAR & AZZI
Guard you from such unpleasantness
Here you can feel safe and sound

AUDIENCE
We won't bring you down
Or ask you to think
All is calm before
Our fairytale draws to a close
Happily ever after

We're gonna give you a happy ending
Hope you enjoy your happy ending

Don't get scared
Instead ignore that small voice in your head
Because you'll get your damned happy ending

Abandon your heightened expectations
Of some great truth in our happy ending

If you know what is best for you
You won't take no risks
You're wise to respect this happy ending

Now it would be a shame
If anything happened

ANCHOR & MOGUL
Just sayin'

AUDIENCE
To you on your way home
Like a fatal accident

AUDIENCE
You'll be seduced by 
Our happy ending
Unless you've seen through
Our scam's intention
Notice the sleight of hand
That marks this subterfuge
To suck you into
Our happy ending

Just when you thought
You had a happy ending
It turns into
Crass manipulation
Because those tears and laughs
Result from cheap stagecraft
Creating a mirage happy ending

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Happy ending

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Happy ending


DIVA
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Now we offer you
A happy ending

ANCHOR & MOGUL
That's at least our hope


To distract you
From the real world



ANCHOR, MOGUL,
DARK & WAITER
Tricks and deception

Form our stock and trade
On this stage


So here is your happy ending
It's the best 
That we can do
To amuse you

Our ad hoc happy ending
Will have to be enough for you
To make it through our show

So adieu 
We bid you
A happy ending
