Act II: Last Midnight
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
Ev'rybody smashed flat
Nothing you can do
Not exactly true
You could always give her the boy
No
No, of course what matters is the blame
Someone you can blame
Fine, if that's a thing you enjoy
Placing the blame
If that's the aim
Give me the blame
Just give me the boy
(No!)
No?
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
Jack, you want a bean?
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
Squirming 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!
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
Ev'rybody smashed flat
Nothing you can do
Not exactly true

No
No, of course what matters is the blame
Someone you can blame
