Current song lyrics
Mark:<br />And so into the abyss...The lot. Where a small stage is partially set up.<br /><br />Joanne:<br />(playing with some wires)<br />"Line in"...<br />I went to Harvard for this?<br /><br />Mark:<br />Close on Mark's nose dive.<br /><br />Joanne:<br />"Line out"...<br /><br />Mark:<br />Will he get out of here alive...?<br /><br />(Joanne notices Mark approaching)<br /><br />Joanne:<br />Mark?<br /><br />Mark:<br />Hi.<br /><br />Joanne:<br />I told her not to call you<br /><br />Mark:<br />That's Maureen<br />But can I help since I'm here<br /><br />Joanne:<br />I've hired an engineer ...<br /><br />Mark:<br />Great!<br />Well, nice to have met you...<br /><br />Joanne:<br />Wait!<br />She's three hours late<br />The samples won't delay<br />But the cable --<br /><br />Mark:<br />There's another way<br />Say something -- anything<br /><br />Joanne:<br />Test -- one, two three --<br /><br />Mark:<br />Anything but that<br /><br />Joanne:<br />This is weird<br /><br />Mark:<br />It's weird<br /><br />Joanne:<br />Very weird<br /><br />Mark:<br />Fuckin' weird<br /><br />Joanne:<br />I'm so mad<br />That I don't know what to do<br />Fighting with microphones<br />Freezing down to my bones<br />And to top it all off<br />I'm with you<br /><br />Mark:<br />Feel like going insane?<br />Got a fire in your brain?<br />And you're thinking of drinking gasoline?<br /><br />Joanne:<br />As a matter of fact --<br /><br />Mark:<br />Honey, I know this act<br />It's called the 'Tango Maureen'<br />The Tango Maureen<br />It's a dark, dizzy merry-go-round<br />As she keeps you dangling<br /><br />Joanne:<br />You're wrong<br /><br />Mark:<br />Your heart she is mangling<br /><br />Joanne:<br />It's different with me<br /><br />Mark:<br />And you toss and you turn<br />'Cause her cold eyes can burn<br />Yet you yearn and you churn and rebound<br /><br />Joanne:<br />I think I know what you mean<br /><br />Both:<br />The Tango Maureen<br /><br />Mark:<br />Has she ever pouted her lips<br />And called you 'Pookie'<br /><br />Joanne:<br />Never!<br /><br />Mark:<br />Have you ever doubted a kiss or two?<br /><br />Joanne:<br />This is ... spooky<br />Did you swoon when she walked through the door?<br /><br />Mark:<br />Every time -- so be cautious<br /><br />Joanne:<br />Did she moon over other boys --?<br /><br />Mark:<br />More than moon --<br /><br />Joanne:<br />I'm getting nauseous<br />(They begin to dance, with Mark leading)<br /><br />Mark:<br />Where'd you learn to tango?<br /><br />Joanne:<br />With the French Ambassador's daughter in her dorm room at Miss Porter's.
