original broadway cast of beetlejuice - maitlands 2.0 lyrics
[barbara]
look at this stuff
god, it’s depressing
[adam, spoken]
you don’t like this stuff?
barbara, this is our stuff…
[barbara, sung]
trapped-up feelings
we’ve been repressing
[adam, spoken]
well, then maybe we should go
[barbara, sung]
i finished projects
meaningless objects
plans i abandoned are rich
it’s the stuff of our lives
and all of its sh-t
[adam, spoken]
what? barbara, huh?
[barbara, sung]
books on computers
a “spin-your-own-yarn” kit
[adam, spoken]
okay, that… was not as much fun as i thought it’d be…
[barbara, sung]
home-brewed kombucha
that tasted like armpit
[adam, spoken]
we are not kombucha people
but we found that out
[barbara, sung]
take it and trash it
burn it or smash it
we have to adapt to survive
we can be fighters with fire inside
we’re more than detritus
we’re finally alive!
but barbara are you married
she’s dead and buried
these people know-owow-owowow
and barbara on the doormat
she’s gone and landed our new format
time to let go
say h-llo…
to barbara 2.0!
[adam, sung]
barbara, you’re right
i think i’ve been hiding…
[barbara, spoken]
i was too!
i don’t even like pottery!
[adam, sung]
stuck out of sight
like my un-used aluminium signing…
[barbara, spoken]
we are not aluminium signing people!
[adam, sung]
tragic and static
trapped in this attic
now adam is shedding his skin
no more excuses
we’re no longer useless
we’ve got nothing to lose
we can finally begin!
the new adam is wiser
the old one’s fertiliser
time to let go…
say h-llo!
[barbara]
i’m tired of doors
and to better or more
we could just walk
but we’ve done that before
but we cannot ignore
as lydia needs us
[adam]
that must be the reason she sees us…
[barbara]
adam, i wanna stay
she needs people who won’t run away
friends who don’t stop at problems or obstacles
not a house
but a home
[both]
ready, set, let’s go!
(they kiss)
[both]
time to let go-owow-owowow
cus’ i feel a greater maitlands
and they’re charging out the gates and
they’re gonna haunt a load
say h-llo…
to maitlands 2.0!
maitlands 2.0!
maitlands 2.0!
