One Saturday Night
Haunting Gothic rock opera, multiple singers, emotional melodies, render in G-MinorLyrics
Verse 1
Father:
He walked inside one Saturday,
But never saw the light of day.
Mother:
He’s got to be around somewhere!
He’ll be grounded when he’s found, I swear…
Bartender: (spoken, wryly)
Grounded, eh? Seems he’s underground…
Verse 2
Father:
Have you seen him with those friends of his?
Mother:
They could tell us where he is!
Father:
It’s been a week—please help us out!
Mother:
Oh, he’s grounded ‘til he’s six-feet down!
Verse 3
Father:
We’ve asked each clerk, but they just stare,
Mother:
Like they’re hiding something there.
Father:
Their laughter’s like some bad old play,
Mother:
and we’re just fools who entertain
Verse 4
Father:
As Debra’s nerves became disturbed,
He leaned in close, to hear her words
Mother:
He found my pain so easily,
It bothered him internally
Chorus
What’s happened to our Billy-boy?
Oh, please help us, we employ
Is he lost or run away
He came in here last Saturday
Bridge
Mother:
Where has he gone? Please help me find.
I call his name, the echo’s mine.
I see him laughing my mind,
It’s like a prank that’s crossed the line!
Caleb: (spoken)
I’m sorry for the grief you’ve faced,
Please have a seat, let’s crack this case.
