original broadway cast of into the woods - agony (reprise) lyrics

Loading...

[cinderella’s prince]
high in a tower–
like yours was, but higher–
a beauty asleep
all ’round the tower
a thicket of briar
a hundred feet deep
agony! no frustration more keen
when the one thing you want
is a thing that you’ve not even seen

[rapunzel’s prince]
i’ve found a casket
entirely of gl-ss–
no, it’s unbreakable
inside–don’t ask it–
a maiden, alas
just as unwakeable

[both]
what unmistakable agony!
is the way always barred?

[rapunzel’s prince]
she has skin white as snow–

[cinderella’s prince]
did you learn her name?

[rapunzel’s prince]
no, there’s a dwarf standing guard

[both]
agony! such that princes must weep!
always in thrall most
to anything almost
or something asleep

[cinderella’s prince]
if it were not for the thicket–

[rapunzel’s prince]
a thicket’s no trick. is it thick?

[cinderella’s prince]
it’s the thickest

[rapunzel’s prince]
the quickest is pick it apart with a stick–

[cinderella’s prince]
yes, but even one pr-ck–
it’s my thing about blood

[rapunzel’s prince]
well, it’s sick!

[cinderella’s prince]
it’s no sicker than your thing with dwarves

[rapunzel’s prince]
dwarves

[cinderella’s prince]
dwarves…

[rapunzel’s prince]
dwarves are very upsetting

[both]
not forgetting the task’s unachievable
mountains unscalable–
if it’s conceivable
but unavailable
ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah–
agony!

[cinderella’s prince]
misery!

[rapunzel’s prince]
woe!

[both]
not to know what you miss

[cinderella’s prince]
while they lie there for years–

[rapunzel’s prince]
and you cry on their biers–

[both]
what unbearable bliss!
agony, that can cut like a knife!
ah well, back to my wife…
