Lyrics

Second House: Sadie (The lights come back up, as Wolf walks to Sadie's table with another drink.) WOLF You want a stick? (Wolf offers Sadie a swizzle stick.) SADIE What? WOLF Swizzle stick. They're fun! SADIE Oh! Sure, what the heck WOLF (depositing it in her drink) Here ya go So…whaddya think? SADIE Oh! Yeah, this place is cooooooool The whole open mic confessional thing And the ghosts are trippy WOLF Why thank ya! We try to keep it interesting SADIE It's like a puzzle right? I'm good at puzzles WOLF I bet SADIE I'm Sadie WOLF Yep SADIE Have I been here before? Is this a dream? It's the craziest thing, like I don't even know what year it is… WOLF Yeah, it's a little different for everyone… BECKETT (from the next table, sotto voce to Wolf) Hey. Hey! WOLF (to Sadie) Excuse me (He moves to Beckett's table.) Another drink sir? BECKETT (gently pulling Wolf down by the lapel) Hey I know you buddy. I know who you are buddy WOLF Indeed sir BECKETT I've seen you around! WOLF Or course sir BECKETT (as Wolf returns to Sadie) I'm on to you buddy! WOLF Very good sir (to Sadie) So, what do you think Sadie? Gonna give us a song? (The electronic loop stops as a spotlight shines on the empty mic stand.) SADIE It sure seems inevitable! WOLF That's the spirit! SADIE (gesturing to the musicians) Do they know what key we're starting in? WOLF What do you like? SADIE Oh, G minor WOLF (to the band) Popular choice. Mona, start up that G minor goth groove I like so much (Music begins.) SADIE (taking the mic) Here we go! ———————————————————— ​Intro (ii) WOLF Just let it all out Sadie Keep talking And don't be afraid to go deep SADIE ​during the pandemic ​when the lockdown hit ​i had just separated from my girlfriend ​and i had fled to the desert ​i was alone in a new home: ​a midcentury adobe house ​in a valley outside taos, new mexico ​so this is the story ​of how i went a little bit crazy ​living alone in the pandemic ——————————
