Heidi Landesman - Agony lyrics

[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] Did I abuse her or show her disdain? Why does she run from me? If I should lose her, how shall I regain The heart she has won from me? Agony! Beyond power of speech When the one thing you want Is the only thing out of your reach [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] High in her tower, she sits by the hour Maintaining her hair Blithe and becoming, and frequently humming A lighthearted air... A-a-a-a-a-a-ah.. Agony! Far more painful than yours! When you know she would go with you If there only were doors! [BOTH] Agony! Oh the torture they teach! [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] What's as intriguing— [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] Or half so fatiguing— [BOTH] As what's out of reach? [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] Am I not sensitive, clever, well-mannered, considerate Pa**ionate, charming, as kind as I'm handsome And heir to the throne?! [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] You are everything maidens could wish for [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] Then why no? [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] Do I know? [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] The girl must be mad! [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] You know nothing of madness... ...Till you're climbing her hair, and you see her Up there, as you're nearing her All the while hearing her 'A-a-a-a-a-a-ah.' [BOTH] Agony! [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] Misery! [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] Woe! [BOTH] Though it's different for each [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE] Always ten steps behind— [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE] Always ten feet below— [BOTH] And she's just out of reach Agony that can cut like a knife! I must have her to wife
