pulp musicals - print it anyway lyrics
benjamin
what do you mean
“he saw something move?”
rose
we wouldn’t say
not right away
samuel
only next week
we’ll give them a peek
benjamin
i don’t understand
this isn’t really an excerpt
from the journal of herschel
samuel
obviously
rose
but he’s in another hemisphere
i don’t think he cares what is written here
samuel
she’s a big fan
rose
of his mind
samuel
… okay
benjamin
i don’t understand
if this is truly a story of fiction…
rose, samuel
why use a name that is so recognizable?
benjamin
yes!
why don’t you make up a new
astronomer that is less identifiable?
rose, samuel
that’s the best part
rose
when they see his name
samuel
at the top of the page
rose
it will give the story weight
samuel
it will become all the rage
and give the new york sun some readability
rose
and, ostensibly, credibility
benjamin
people could believe it
samuel
yes!
rose
they’ll be glued to every line of text
benjamin
people would believe it
rose
yes!
samuel
they’ll be dying to see what happens next
just like you
rose
banging down the door
to see part two
benjamin
i’m intrigued
but samuel, you were sacked
even if i wanted to, i can’t act
samuel
1 suppose that’s that
rose
print it anyway
benjamin, samuel
what?
rose
you’re the editor, print it anyway
benjamin
are you mad?
rose
tonight, it’s only you and the printing press
sneak it in, it’s for the best
you can be the catalyst
print it and we’ll do the rest
samuel
rose might be onto something
rose
can’t you see it
‘the sun will be on top
move over, new york sentinel
it’s your turn to flop
the notebook that you’re holding
has part one of our story
print it word for word, name it
rose, samuel
“great astronomical discoveries”
narrator
benjamin’s eyes opened wide
the story that they told made him think
benjamin sat terrified
the story that he holds
what if someone were to put it in ink?
rose
print it anyway
benjamin
it’s sensational
samuel
sensation often thrills
rose
print it anyway
benjamin
this is crazy
rose, samuel
but crazy pays the bills
benjamin
rose…
rose
ben
samuel
guys!
benjamin
it’s a lie
samuel
that’s true
rose
who cares?
benjamin
i do
you two have the paper stand
‘me, i have no back+up plan
can’t you see it
my career will end
i won’t ever show my face again
narrator
he looked up at the sky
and saw the moon
rose
benjamin, leave if you want
but tell me, what does the sun have to lose?
samuel
the sun could shutter any day
and everybody knows it
benjamin
that’s got thomas scared as h+ll
even if he doesn’t show it
samuel
this could be a turning point
and even if we blow it
things will never be the same
would you not rather go out in a flame?
benjamin
i have to run, someone has to run
the printing press for the new york sun
narrator
benjamin turned and left behind
the stratford family paper stand
samuel
why are you smiling, rose?
rose
benjamin left with our notebook in his hand
