The Musical | NOEL: I don’t want to sing about that!
OCEAN: Oh! Oh! If he doesn’t want to sing, I will! I will!
NOEL: Goddammit! Can you keep it in your pants for two seconds, you horrible succubus!?
(During this, NOEL removes his clothing to reveal lingerie. And puts on a wig NOEL transforms into a Louise Brooks. Femme fatale, wearing a fishnet stockings and high heels.)

The Musical | NOEL: I don’t want to sing about that!

NOEL: Goddammit! Can you keep it in your pants for two seconds, you horrible succubus!?

NOEL:
In my life, I was Noel Gruber who worked at Taco Bell in Uranium City, Saskatchewan. But in my dreams I played a different role. I was Monique Gibeau in post-war France!
A HOOKER WITH A HEART OF BLACK CHARCOAL
I WRITE POEMS TO BURN BY FIRELIGHT
DRINK CHAMPAGNE AND GUZZLE GIN
GOOD GIRLS CALL ME "THE TOWN BICYCLE"
DON'T KNOCK IT 'TIL YOU'VE TRIED MY LIFE OF SIN
OH, CLAUDE, MY PIMP, KNOWS NEVER MESS WITH ME
LAST PRICK DID THAT FADED QUICK TO BLACK
I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO FIND HIM, OFFICERS
BUT IF YOU DO, PLEASE MENTION THAT I'D
LIKE TO HAVE RETURNED THE PRETTY KNIFE
THAT I STUCK TEN TIMES IN HIS BACK!
[Sips, swallows.]
FOR I SING SONGS UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAWN
I EMBRACE A NEW MAN EVERY NIGHT
MY LIFE'S ONE NEVER-ENDING CARNIVAL
NOEL AND CHOIR:
A WHIRL OF BOOZY-FLOOZY FLASHING LIGHT
NOEL:
I WANT TO BE THAT FUCKED UP GIRL
[Instrumental]
NOEL:
HE SAID, "I THINK I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU"
I'VE HEARD THAT LIE A MILLION TIMES BEFORE
OH, TONIGHT I GIVE IN TO THE FANTASY
TAKE LOVE WHEN YOU CAN, WHEN YOU'RE A WHORE
FOR I SING SONGS UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAWN
I EMBRACE A NEW MAN EVERY NIGHT
MY LIFE'S ONE NEVER-ENDING CARNIVAL
A WHIRL OF BOOZY-FLOOZY FLASHING LIGHT
I WANT TO BE THAT FUCKED UP GIRL
SO NOW I SELL MY LOVE FOR OPIUM
IN SOME RAT-INFESTED CHINESE DIVE
AT NIGHT I BURN MYSELF WITH CIGARETTES
JUST TO SOMEHOW PROVE I'M STILL ALIVE
EIGHT MONTHS LATER I CATCH TYPHOID FLU
KICKED OUT, I SEE THE UGLY LIGHT OF DAY
DYING IN AN ALLEY, A PRIEST KNEELS DOWN TO ME-
RICKY (as priest, in French accent):
My child, do you have any final words to the Lord you'd like to say?
NOEL (as Monique, in French accent):
Oui. Tell Him that, like Him, I choose to burn out rather than fade away!
FOR I SING SONGS UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAWN
I EMBRACE A NEW MAN EVERY NIGHT
MY LIFE'S ONE NEVER-ENDING CARNIVAL
A WHIRL OF BOOZY-FLOOZY FLASHING LIGHT
FOR I SING SONGS UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAWN
I EMBRACE A NEW MAN EVERY NIGHT
MY LIFE'S ONE NEVER ENDING CARNIVAL
NOEL AND CHOIR:
A WHIRL OF BOOZY-FLOOZY FLASHING LIGHT
NOEL:
I WANT TO BE THAT FUCKED UP GIRL
I WANNA BE THAT FUCKED UP
(ad-libbing, riffing)
GIRL...
OCEAN/CONSTANCE:
BROKEN HEART, A FLASK OF GIN
TATTOOED WITH A SAFETY PIN
TEETH ALL STAINED WITH NICOTINE
RUNNING NYLONS, SHATTERED DREAMS
SUPER CRUSTY, HOLY TERROR
WILD EYES AND BLACK MASCARA
BROKEN HEART, A FLASK OF GIN
TATTOOED WITH A SAFETY PIN
TEETH ALL STAINED WITH NICOTINE
RUNNING NYLONS, SHATTERED DREAMS
SUPER CRUSTY, HOLY TERROR
WILD EYES AND BLACK MASCARA
NOEL:
IF I COULD HAVE JUST ONE DREAM...
OCEAN/CONSTANCE:
IF HE COULD HAVE JUST ONE DREAM..!
NOEL/OCEAN/CONSTANCE:
I'D BE THAT FUCKED UP GIRL!
MISCHA/RICKY:
Hey!
Noel: Ne želim pjevati o tome!
Ocean: Oh! Oh! Ako ne želi pjevati, hoću! Hoću!
Noel: GodDammit! Možete li ga zadržati u hlačama dvije sekunde, grozni succubus!?
(Tijekom toga, Noel uklanja odjeću kako bi otkrio donje rublje. I stavlja periku koje se Noel transformira u Louise Brooks. Femme Fatale, noseći čarape za ribu i visoke potpetice.)
Noel:
U životu sam bio Noel Gruber koji je radio u Taco Bellu u Uranium Cityju, Saskatchewan. Ali u snovima sam igrao drugačiju ulogu. Bio sam Monique Gibeau u poslijeratnoj Francuskoj!
Kuka sa srcem crnog ugljena
Pišem pjesme za spaljivanje vatrogasca
Pijte šampanjac i gin
Dobre djevojke me zovu "Gradski bicikl"
Ne kucajte dok ste pokušali moj život grijeha
Oh, Claude, moj svodnik, zna da se nikad ne zbrka sa mnom
Posljednji ubod to je izblijedio u crno
Nemam pojma gdje da ga nađem, časnici
Ali ako to učinite, spomenite da sam
Volio sam vratiti lijep nož
Da sam mu zaglavio deset puta u leđa!
[SIPS, lastanje.]
Jer pjevam pjesme do zore
Svake večeri prihvaćam novog muškarca
Moj život je jedan neprekinuti karneval
Noel i zbor:
Vrtlog bljeskavog svjetla
Noel:
Želim biti to sjebana djevojka
[Instrumental]
Noel:
Rekao je: "Mislim da sam zaljubljen u tebe"
Čuo sam da laže milijun puta prije
Oh, večeras se predajem fantaziji
Vodite ljubav kad možeš, kad si kurva
Jer pjevam pjesme do zore
Svake večeri prihvaćam novog muškarca
Moj život je jedan neprekinuti karneval
Vrtlog bljeskavog svjetla
Želim biti to sjebana djevojka
Dakle, sada prodajem svoju ljubav prema opijumu
U nekom kineskom ronjenju nazvanom štakorom
Noću izgorio sam cigaretama
Samo da nekako dokažem da sam još uvijek živ
Osam mjeseci kasnije uhvatim tifusnu gripu
Izbačen, vidim ružno svjetlo dana
Umirajući u uličici, svećenik klekne do mene-
Ricky (kao svećenik, u francuskom naglasku):
Moje dijete, imaš li posljednje riječi Gospodinu koje biste željeli reći?
Noel (kao Monique, u francuskom naglasku):
Oui. Recite mu da, poput njega, odlučim izgorjeti, a ne izblijediti!
Jer pjevam pjesme do zore
Svake večeri prihvaćam novog muškarca
Moj život je jedan neprekinuti karneval
Vrtlog bljeskavog svjetla
Jer pjevam pjesme do zore
Svake večeri prihvaćam novog muškarca
Moj život je jedan koji nikad ne završava karneval
Noel i zbor:
Vrtlog bljeskavog svjetla
Noel:
Želim biti to sjebana djevojka
Želim biti sjeban
(Ad-Libbing, riffing)
DJEVOJKA...
Ocean/Constance:
Slomljeno srce, tikvicu džina
Tetoviran sigurnosnim pin
Zubi su obojeni nikotinom
Trčanje najlona, razbijeni snovi
Super hrskavi, sveti teror
Divlje oči i crna maskara
Slomljeno srce, tikvicu džina
Tetoviran sigurnosnim pin
Zubi su obojeni nikotinom
Trčanje najlona, razbijeni snovi
Super hrskavi, sveti teror
Divlje oči i crna maskara
Noel:
Kad bih mogao imati samo jedan san ...
Ocean/Constance:
Kad bi mogao imati samo jedan san ..!
Noel/Ocean/Constance:
Bila bih to jebena djevojka!
Mischa/Ricky:
Hej!
