lyrics

GRACIE
TELL THE WELLWISHERS OUTSIDE
THE BEST PLACE FOR CONFETTI IS IN THEIR POCKET
I CAN’T BE THE BLUSHING BRIDE
WITH SOMEONE ELSE’S LIKENESS IN MY LOCKET

BINHEAD slips a wedding ring on her finger.

I DON’T WANT TO BE HIS BABY
STARING AT ‘IF ONLY’ ‘WHAT IF’ ‘MAYBE’

She turns to BINHEAD.

GRACIE
THOUGH I HATE TO LEAVE YOU IN THE LURCH....
(By way of apology)
Love the church…
She removes the ring.
I DON’T WANT TO BE OUR GRACIE
IN A MILLION YEARS, NO WAY, NO HOW!
DON’T MAKE ME SAY I DO, I DON’T!
NOT HERE, NOT YOU, NOT NOW

GRACIE presses her wedding ring into BINHEAD’s hand. They fade from view as NEV stirs from his slumbers. He looks around and remembers where he is.

NEV
I DON'T KNOW WHERE TIME SEEMS TO GO DAD
I DON'T KNOW WHERE, I DON'T KNOW WHY
THE MOMENT THAT MY BACK IS TURNED
IT SEEMS TO FLY.

We hear snarls and angry growls.

NEV
Cerberus!

NEV rises to his feet.

NEV
I’M GONNA BREAK FREE FROM HADES
TAKE AN EYE FOR AN EYE!
I’M GONNA BREAK FREE FROM HADES
IF I KNOW ONE THING, THE DOG’S GONNA DIE!

Lights up on GRACIE. She’s on top of the altar, brandishing the candelabra at a startled trio of VICAR, VERGER and BINHEAD.

GRACIE
I DON'T WANT TO BE OUR GRACIE
WHY SHOULD I LIE?
I DON’T WANT TO BE OUR GRACIE
YOU’VE GOT THE WRONG GIRL, I’VE GOT THE WRONG GUY!

CERBERUS moves murderously into view and slavers before NEV. The VICAR, VERGER and BINHEAD nervously adopt an attacking stance before GRACIE.
