from Stray Gods by Austin Wintory, Tripod & Montaigne

lyrics

Grace, you know that you’re lost now
You’ve been given powers you don’t understand
I’m the guy who can help you
All that you hear is at your command

Wait…

No, it’s okay Freddie. This is all me?
What do I do?

Start singing.

Now?

Why not? Time’s a wastin’...

Freddie, he’s got me shaken
I don’t know what I’m meant to do
Something in me’s awakened
But this goat-guy thinks I’m some great ingenue

I’m doing it now, huh?

Ha ha ha!

I don’t follow (Lost little girl)
Are those really actual horns? (You’re in control)
And this singing is so hard to swallow (I know!)
Can you hear me Grace, what's going on? (It’s your song!)

Lost girls, lost girls
You all love your lost girls
A rescue that you can take home

I won’t say you need saving
You’re not drowning, you’re waving
And you two, are you, uh…dating? It’s so titillating!

Grace, we gotta be careful
Has he slipped something into our drinks?
Spouting crap about powers
He could be dangerous , what do you think?

Sing it, Freddie, I hear you
We’ve only just met, now he’s my new best friend
Now, I’ll owe him a favor
And what will he want in the end?

Ha! You’re lucky
I got to you
There’s people out there who will come for you
I’m hurt that you’re making so much ado
You’re lost and I’m trying to help!

Lost girls, lost girls
You all love your lost girls
A rescue that you can take home
Whether you’re mean, smart, or nice guys
If you don’t mind guys
We’ll find our way on our own

Fine, so what happens now?

I can do whatever I want.

Well you can’t stop time, so…

Grace I’m frightened!

It’s okay I, I think I got this…

Doo, doo doo doo ooh doo
Rawooh, doo doo doo (ba badum ba bum)
doo doo n’ doo doo (badum)
Doo doo doo
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bow!

I never knew I had that in me!

Who’s making this happen?

This isn’t a game!

You don’t understand!

This has all gotten out of hand!

Nothing for Grace will ever be the same!

Lost girls, lost girls
You all love your lost girls
A rescue that you can take home (Aww!)
You can see we’re at home

I see what I see, kid
Freddie has no idea kid
You’d be far better off on your own (I don’t know about that)

Really? Now you’re just being silly.
Maybe the Muse isn’t feeling the gravity
Or do you refuse and like ostriches
Happily stick your heads in the sand?
Grace I could be your right hand
Freddie you better leave her alone
Let me do what I do or she’ll sink like a stone

Lost girl, lost girl
I know I’m not a lost girl
But this is all new
And I don’t know what to do
Should I stay with my bestie?
This goat’s getting testy
Won’t be lost on my own
I’ll always be home
