The Romantic Geek's Comfort Zone

ON THE RISE

DR. HORRIBLE
Any dolt with half a brain
can see that human-kind has gone insane
to the point where I don't know
if I'll upset the status quo
if I throw poison in the water main.

Listen close to everybody's heart
and hear that breaking sound.
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
and crashing to the ground.

I cannot believe my eyes
how the world's filled with filth and lies
but it's plain to see
evil inside of me
is on the rise.

PENNY
Look around
we're living with the lost and found.
Just when you feel you've almost drowned
you find yourself on solid ground

and you believe there's good in everybody's heart.
Keep it safe and sound.
With hope you can do your part
to turn a life around.

I cannot believe my eyes
is the world finally growing wise?
Cause it seems to me
some kind of harmony is on the rise.

PENNY
make it slow
DR. HORRIBLE
anyone with half a brain

PENNY
he looks at me and seems to know
DR HORRIBLE
could spend their whole life howling in pain

PENNY
the things that I'm afraid to show
DR HORRIBLE
is the darkness everywhere
and Penny doesn't seem to care that

PENNY
and suddenly I feel this glow
DR HORRIBLE
that soon the dark in me is all that will remain

PENNY
and i believe there's good in everybody's heart
keep it safe and sound
DR HORRIBLE
listen close to everybody's heart
and hear that breaking sound

PENNY
with hope you can do your part
to turn a life around
DR HORRIBLE
hopes and dreams are shattering apart
and crashing to the ground

DR HORRIBLE and PENNY
i cannot believe my eyes

PENNY
how the world's finally growing wise
DR HORRIBLE
how the world's filled with filth and lies

DR HORRIBLE
but it's plain to see

PENNY
and it's plain to see

DR HORRIBLE
evil inside of me

PENNY
rapture inside of me

DR HORRIBLE and PENNY
is on the rise

BAD HORSE PHONECALL

BAD HORSE HENCHMEN
He saw the operation
you tried to pull today
but your humiliation
means he still votes “neigh”!
And now assassination
is just the only way.
There will be blood,
it might be yours.
So go kill someone.
Signed, Bad Horse.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS

PENNY
Here's a story of a girl
who grew up lost and lonely,
thinking love was Fairy Tale
and trouble was made only for me.

Even in the darkness
every color can be found.
And every day of rain
brings water flowing
to things growing in the ground.

Grief replaced with pity
for a city barely coping.
Dreams are easy to achieve
if hopeful's all I'm hoping to be.

Anytime you're hurt
there's one who has it worse around.
And every drop of rain
will keep you growing
seeds you're sowing in the ground.

so keep your head up Billy, buddy.

BRAND NEW DAY

DR HORRIBLE
This appeared as a moral dilemma
'cause at first it was weird
though I swore to eliminate
the worst of the plague
that devoured humanity
it's true i was vague on the “how”
so how can it be that you
have shown me the light?

It's a brand new day
and the sun is high
all the birds are singing
that you're gonna die.
How I hesitated
now I wonder why.
It's a brand new day.

All the times that you beat me unconscious,
I forgive.
All the crimes incomplete, listen,
honestly I'll live.
Mr. Cool, Mr. Right, Mr. Know-it-all
is through.
Now the future's so bright
and I owe it all to you..
who showed me the light.

It's a brand new me,
I got no remorse.
Now the water's rising
but I know the course.
I'm gonna shock the world,
gonna show Bad Horse.
It's a brand new day.

And Penny will see the evil me,
not a joke, not a dork, not a failure.
And she may cry but her tears will dry
when I hand her the keys to a shiny new Australia.

It's a brand new day,
yeah the sun is high.
All the angels sing
because you're gonna die.
Go ahead and laugh,
yeah I'm a funny guy.

Tell everyone goodbye.

It's a brand new day.

Because the status...is NOT QUO! Catch the series at Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog!

LAUNDRY DAY

DR HORRIBLE
Laundry day, see you there,
underthings, tumbling.
Wanna say, “Love your hair”.
Here I go, mumbling.

With my freeze-ray I will, stop, the world.
With my freeze-ray I will,
find the time to,
find the words to…

Tell you how, how you make,
make me feel, what's the phrase?
Like a fool, kinda sick.
Special needs. Anyways…

With my freeze-ray I will, stop, the pain.

It's not a death-ray or an ice-beam,
that's all “Johnny Snow”.
I just think you need time to know

That I'm the guy to make it real,
the feelings you don't dare to feel.
I'll bend the world to our will
And we'll make time stand still.

That's the plan, rule the world,
you and me, any day.
Love your hair…

Anyway.

With my freeze-ray I will, stop...

BAD HORSE LETTER

BAD HORSE HENCHMEN
Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse!
He rides across the nation, the Thoroughbred of Sin.
He got the application, that you just sent in.
It needs evaluation, so let the games begin.
A heinous crime, a show of force,
a murder would be nice of course.
Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse, he's bad!
The Evil League of Evil, is watching so beware.
The grade that you receive will be your last, we swear.
So make the Bad Horse gleeful or he'll make you his mare…
You're saddled up, there's no recourse,
it's “hi-ho Silver!”
Signed, Bad Horse.

PENNY'S SONG

PENNY
Will you lend a caring hand
to shelter those who need it?
Only have to sign your name,
don't even have to read it.
Would you help?
No? How 'bout you?

WHAT A MAN'S GOTTA DO

DR HORRIBLE
A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do.
Don't plan the plan, if you can't follow through.

All that matters, taking matters, into your own hands.
Soon I'll control everything, my wish is your command.

CAPTAIN HAMMER
Stand back everyone, nothing here to see.
Just imminent danger, in the middle of it: me!
Yes, Captain Hammer's here, hair blowing in the breeze!
The day needs my saving expertise.

A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do.
Seems destiny ends with me saving you.
The only doom that's looming is you loving me to death.

I'll give you a sec to catch your breath.

PENNY
Thank you, Hammer Man,
I don't think I can
explain how important it was
that you stopped the van.
I would be splattered.
I'd be crushed into debris.
Thank you sir for saving me.

CAPTAIN HAMMER
Don't worry about it,
a man's gotta do
what a man's gotta do.

PENNY
You came from above.

DR HORRIBLE
Are you kidding?

CAPTAIN HAMMER
Seems destiny
ends with me saving you.

DR HORRIBLE
What heist were you watching?

PENNY
I wonder what you're Captain of.

DR HORRIBLE
Stop looking at her like that.

CAPTAIN HAMMER
When you're the best
you can't rest,
what's the use?

DR HORRIBLE
Did you notice that he threw you in the garbage?

PENNY
My heart is beating like a drum.

CAPTAIN HAMMER
There's ass
needs kicking,
some ticking bomb to diffuse.

DR HORRIBLE
I stopped the van.
The remote control was in my hand!

PENNY
... must be in shock.

CAPTAIN HAMMER
The only doom that's looming
is you loving me to death.

PENNY
Assuming I'm not loving you to death.

DR HORRIBLE
What-ever

CAPTAIN HAMMER and PENNY
So please give me a sec to catch my breath.

DR HORRIBLE
Balls

Opening up with a scene inside the train and dancing inside it as well as the performances on the spring floors are the things that make Step Up 2 the Streets - a freaking fabulous film!

"Dancing is about having something to say."

"The best part about the streets is that it's not about what you've got - it's what you make of what you've got."

So? Listen and interpret!

Nah... just watch it while it's still hot! ^_^
