lyrics

MR. McKRUSKI ADDRESSES THE CROWD
“Exhortations,” he said to the gathered crowd.
“Exhortations and salutations to us all – to everyone.
I’ve known all of us a long, long time, and I speak to you as a member of our town,
And I know he’ll be waiting. Call it a feeling but it’s a wicked, wicked lie we are living.”

“Frankie, you and I we go back a very long way,
And I wish your mother Dot, was still here with us.
But to get to the reason that I’m even here, I will say my things so we can get on with the night.

“My father, Clancy who you all knew, was a brave man,
As I knew him too. I saw him kill a man with his hands,
And I learned a lesson on that day:
Never forget the things you say.
And you’ll keep waiting until it returns. But it’s a wicked, wicked lie we are living in this town.
And it always comes back.
We’ll keep waiting until it returns, but it’s a wicked, wicked lie we’ve been living.

“Hit it!
I’ve noticed it’s been gone, almost too long: that horrible, that deafening sound when he comes,
And I know, yes I know.
Can’t you feel it? Can’t see it? All the wicked, wicked lies we are living in this town.”
