Paroles
It's the last midnight
It's the last wish
It's the last midnight
Soon it will be boom—
Squish!
Told a little lie
Stole a little gold
Broke a little vow
Did you?
Had to get your prince
Had to get your cow
Had to get your wish
Doesn't matter how—
Anyway, it doesn't matter now
It's the last midnight
It's the boom—
Splatch!
Nothing but a vast midnight
Everybody smashed flatch!
Nothing we can do—
Not exactly true:
You can always give her the boy
(spoken)
No?
(sung)
No, of course what matters
Is the blame
Someone you can blame
Fine, if that's the thing you enjoy
Placing the blame
If that's the aim
Give me the blame—
(spoken)
Just give me the boy
No!
No...
(sung)
You're so pure
But stay here
And in time
You'll mature
And grow up to be them
So let's fly
You and I
Far away
I'm the hitch
I'm what no one believes
I'm the witch
They're all liars and thieves
Like your father
Just like you will be, too—
Oh, why bother?
They'll just do what they do
It's the last midnight
So, goodbye all
Coming at you fast, midnight—
Soon you'll see the sky fall
(spoken)
Jack, you want a bean?
(sung)
Have another bean
Beans were made for making you rich!
Plant them and they'll soar—
Here, you want some more?
Listen to the roar
Giants by the score—!
Oh well, you can blame another witch
It's the last midnight
It's the last verse
Now, before it's past midnight
I'm leaving you my last curse:
I'm leaving you alone
Scrubbing in the mess that you made
Fix it on your own
Time for me to go, I'm afraid
Back to what I know
Back to long ago
Safe inside the world that I'm from
Better ugly and spurned
With my powers returned
And I fear
Midnight's here
Time to disappear
Mother, here I come!
(spoken)
Waah!
