Accidents Happen

Stasia:
I fear we'll be caught
He may find out well before I'm due
See, he and I have not
Done certain things that Ive done with you
For a month or two
Well never, actually

But accidents happen all the time
Making mistakes is no crime
Having a child with another man
Just a mistake, he'll understand
Accidents happen all the time
Accidents happen all the time

Osric:
Sometimes, people slip (like the King, for instance)
Say, they don't know that the stair is wet
And sometimes, people trip
And fall 80 feet off the parapet
Or better yet
Into boiling lead

Accidents happen all the time
Making mistakes is no crime
One such mistake
You or I could make
Might be to drown him in the lake
Accidents happen all the time
Accidents happen all the time

Stasia:
Sometimes, mistakes are made
Black widows crawl into people's beds

Osric:
Youve got it! Hemlock gets mislaid
Rocks sometimes fall onto people's heads

Stasia:
Or maybe swords instead of rocks

Osric:
Or harpsichords

Stasia:
Or cinderblocks

Both:
Accidents happen all the time
Making mistakes is no crime

Stasia:
Here's a mistake
You and I could make

Osric:
Grind up his bones
Into a cake

Both:
Accidents happen all the time
Accidents happen all the time
Accidents happen all the time
Accidents happen all the time

A Night Like This

Download Song

From "Sleepy Hollow: The Rock Opera"

Baltus:

A night like this, the mist

Could swallow you whole

The face of this abyss

Is blacker than coal.

Nights like this the demons prowl.

Dame Hedrick:

Witches emerge, converge,

And brandish their brooms.

Tobias:

The long demised, arise,

Deserting their tombs.

Ichabod:

Witches you say Okay,

As sure as you speak

I shouldn't get upset

And yet I feel weak

I know he's there, somewhere

The master of them all...

Ichabod and Townspeople:

Ride Horseman

Godspeed

Steady course and ready steed

Black saddle, black cloak

Stained breath of

Frost and smoke

In the blood of every soldier slain

Where shadows scream to the devil's strain

Ride Horseman

Scourge of peripheral thought.

Ichabod:

A night like this

Simple charms might thaw resolve

A night like this

Inclinations might revolve

Katrina could I have a word with you...

From "Hrafnkel's Saga: The Rock Opera"

So the years went by and

Sam grew accustomed to living like a prince

And he burned down all of

Hrafnkel's temples but still was not convinced

We must kill the stallion who started it

Only then, he said, we'll be free!

So they took that horse and discarded it.

Now the little farm that

Hrafnkel bought was a fertile piece of land

And he shunned the gods and

Sent his men fishing and raised his calves by hand

And he worked so hard that eventually

He obtained a new chieftancy

And his farmstead grew exponentially

Now a ship from Norway

Captained by Sam's brother Eyvind had returned

As he rode home he was

Sure he was followed but still was not concerned

It seems Hrafnkel had remembered him

And pursued his men from the sea

Then he caught Eyvind and dismembered him

From "Chicken"

They've stopped recording
I believe it's safe to talk.
Don't act surprised
There's probably one on every block.
For now let's try and stick
To what we each do best.
I'll knock over everything
And you clean up the mess.
You clean up the mess...

Small town burger on a capital grill
Daisy runway
Strutting pretty in the henhouse
Little girl on a big hair day
So shake a tail for the Mother Superior
Daisy runway
I've got a half penny flat
Says you can't do that
You're a wishbone breaker
But you can't outstare the sun.
And everybody knows you're the one
And everybody knows you're the one.

Your sister waitresses
Could earn their weight in tips
Just need some rollerskates
And contact paper lips.
So take a hold of the wireless
And tell us how you feel.
The lyrics may be lip synced
But the rhinestones are for real.
Rhinestones are for real...

Small town burger on a capital grill
Daisy runway
Strutting pretty in the henhouse
Little girl on a big hair day
So shake a tail for the mother superior
Daisy runway
I've got a half penny flat
Says you can't do that
You're a wishbone breaker
But you can't outstare the sun.
And everybody knows you're the one
And everybody knows you're the one.

We're burning fumes by time the second shift is through.
Who does your makeup - can they make me look as tired as you
I'll work the bench until they play the second strings
But I will treat the landlocked better once I've earned my wings
Once I earn my...

Small town burger on a capital grill
Daisy runway
Strutting pretty in the henhouse
Little girl on a big hair day
So shake a tail for the mother superior
Daisy runway
I've got a half penny flat
Says you can't do that
You're a wishbone breaker
But you can't outstare the sun.
And everybody knows you're the one
And everybody knows you're the one.

Well your mama says you've got a little swing
So a lot of big things might happen
If you're powdered up and ready to run.
