Damsel in Distress


Song Lyrics

Gospel Truth I

Back when the world was new
The planet Earth was down on its luck
And everywhere gigantic brutes
Called titans ran amok

It was a nasty place
There was a mess
Wherever you stepped
Where chaos reigned and
Earthquakes and volcanoes never slept

And then along came Zeus
He hurled his thunderbolt
He zapped those suckers in a vault
They're trapped
And on his own stopped
Chaos in its tracks
And thats the gospel truth
The guy was too type A to just relax

And thats the worlds first dish
Zeus tamed the globe
While still in his youth
Though ,honey,it may seem imposs'ble
Thats the gospel truth

On Mt. Olympus life was neat and
Smooth and sweet vermouth
Though,honey,it may seem imposs'ble
Thats the gospel truth

Gospel Truth II

If theres one god you dont want to get steemed up
Its Hades,cause he had an evil plan
He ran the Underworld
But thought the dead were dull and uncouth
He was mean as he was ruthless
And thats the gospel truth
He had a plan to shake things up
And thats the gospel truth
(woah woah woah)

Gospel Truth III

Young Herc was mortal now
But since he did not drink the last drop
He still retained his godlike strength
So thank his lucky star

But Zeus and Hera wept
Because their son could never come home
They'd have to watch their precious baby
Grow up from afar

Though Hades horrid plan
Was hatched before Herc cut his first tooth
The boy grew stronger ev'ry day and
Thats the gospel truth

Go The Distance

I have often dreamed of a far off place
Where a great warm welcome
Will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And the voice keeps saying
This is where Im ment to be

Iam on my way I can go the distance
I dont care how far
Somehow Ill be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere
To find where I belong

Go The Distance Reprise
I will beat the odds
I can go the distance
I will face the world
Fearless,proud,and strong
I will please the gods
I can go the distance
Till I find my heros welcome
Right where I belong

One Last Hope
So,ya wanna be a hero, kid?
Well, whoop-de-do!
I have been around the block before
With blockheads just like you

Each and everyone a dissapointment
Pain for which there ain't no ointment
So much for excuses
Though a kid is Zeus is
Asking me to jump into the fray
My answer is two words-
O.K.
You win
Oh gods
Oy vey!

I'd given up hope that someone would come along
A fellow who'd ring the bell for once
Not the gong
The kind that wins trophies
Wont settle for low fees
At least semi-pro fees
But no-I get the greenhorn

Ive been out to pasture pal, my ambition gone
Content to spend lazy days and to graze my lawn
But you need an advisor
A satyr, but wiser
A good merchandiser
And oohhh!
There goes my ulcer!

Im down to one last hope
And I hope it's you
Though,kid, you're not exactly
A dream come true
I've trained enough turkeys
Who never came through
You're my one last hope so you'll have to do

Demigods have faced the odds
And ended up a mockery
Don't believe the stories
That you read on all the crockery

To be a true hero, kid, it's a dying art
Like painting a masterpiece, it's a work of heart
It takes more than sinew
Comes down ti what's in you
You have to continue to grow
Now that's more like it!

Im down to one last shot
And my last high note
Before that blasted underworld
Gets my goat
My dreams are on you, kid
Go make'em come true
Climb that uphill slope
Keep pushing that envalope
You're my one last hope
And,kid, it's up to you

I Wont Say Im In Love
Meg: If there's a prize for rotten judgement
I guess Ive already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That's acient history, been there, done that!

Muses:Who'd ya think you're kiddin'
He's he Earth and Heaven to ya
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we ca see right through you
Girl, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel
And who you're thinking of

Meg: No chance,no way
I won't say it,no,no

Muses: You swoon, you sigh
Why deny it, uh-oh

Meg: It's too cliche
I wont say I'm in love

I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when ya start out
My head is screaming get a grip, girl
Unless you're dying to cru your heart out
Oh

Muses:You keep on deyning
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby, we're not buying
Hon, we saw ya hit the celing
Face it like a grown up
When ya gonna own up
That ya got, got, got it bad

Meg:No chance, no way
I won't say it, no,no

Muses:Give up,give in
Check the grin you're in love

Meg:This scene wont play,
I wont say Im in love

Muses:You're doing flips read our lips
 you're in love

Meg: You're way off base
I wont say it
Get off my case
I wont say it

Muses:Girl, dont be proud
Its O.K. you're in love

Meg: At least out loud,
I wont say Im in love
