Bat Boy: The Musical (Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording)
Apology to a Cow
I'm sorry, friend, I have to
I know, I know it's rude
I shouldn't work my problems out with food
I'm sorry, pal, I got to
It's either me or you
Fight or be beaten
Eat or be eaten
Look what it makes me do
It's stronger than it was
And this is what the bat child does
Deep in a cave under miles of stone
I knew no word for sad
Singing to echoes and all alone
Needed no mom or dad
I never dreamed of the world above
I'd never seen the sky
And yet I was content
I never wondered why
I never knew such a word as rage
I learned that from you
You locked your boy up inside a cage
And all the while you knew
Why bother giving me dad's old shirt!
Why even intervene?
Why bother washing off all the dirt?
If I am still unclean
You said you'd never hurt me, mom
Whatever might occur
So, how could you dare, mom?
Make me aware, mom?
Teach me to care, mom?
And then deny me
Her
We had a chance at happiness
Blissfully unaware
We had a love we thought you'd bless
We didn't have a prayer
'Cause you had to come destroy our love
Like everything else I had
Yet still I am content and I am not the least bit mad
No, I'm not here to harm you
I only want to kill!
You shall have your monster
I shall drink my fill
At last I am embracing
My bloody destiny
Dear mom and dad, this face will be
The last thing that you ever see
Revenge will be a home for me
For me
For me
I know, I know it's rude
I shouldn't work my problems out with food
I'm sorry, pal, I got to
It's either me or you
Fight or be beaten
Eat or be eaten
Look what it makes me do
It's stronger than it was
And this is what the bat child does
Deep in a cave under miles of stone
I knew no word for sad
Singing to echoes and all alone
Needed no mom or dad
I never dreamed of the world above
I'd never seen the sky
And yet I was content
I never wondered why
I never knew such a word as rage
I learned that from you
You locked your boy up inside a cage
And all the while you knew
Why bother giving me dad's old shirt!
Why even intervene?
Why bother washing off all the dirt?
If I am still unclean
You said you'd never hurt me, mom
Whatever might occur
So, how could you dare, mom?
Make me aware, mom?
Teach me to care, mom?
And then deny me
Her
We had a chance at happiness
Blissfully unaware
We had a love we thought you'd bless
We didn't have a prayer
'Cause you had to come destroy our love
Like everything else I had
Yet still I am content and I am not the least bit mad
No, I'm not here to harm you
I only want to kill!
You shall have your monster
I shall drink my fill
At last I am embracing
My bloody destiny
Dear mom and dad, this face will be
The last thing that you ever see
Revenge will be a home for me
For me
For me
