welcome to the woods ("a little complex") - original off-broadway cast lyrics

Loading...

[narrator]
the lights come up on a new york city apartment complex, aptly called “the woods”. the company of actors sets the scene

[jitter]
irony
ambiguity
dissonance
angst

[chorus]
welcome to our complex
our apartment complex
welcome to
“the woods”

[jitter]
all of our tenants
are very neurotic

[abby]
emotional lives are
completely chaotic

[billy]
the songs in their hearts
aren’t ever melodic

[jeune]
everyone here
is a little bit lost

[jeune and abby]
in “the woods”

[chorus]
welcome to “the woods”

[abby]
the sentiments heard here
are seldom endearing

[billy]
it’s kind of slow going
but worth persevearing

[jeane]
it may not sink in
’til the third or fourth hearing

[jitter]
then, if you’re bright
there’s a glimmer of light

[jitter and jeune]
in “the woods”

[chorus]
welcome to “the woods”

don’t feel obtuse
yes, it’s abstruse
everyone here has at least one
screw loose

[jitter]
unlikable people
with lives that are hollow
it’s all food for thought
but a bit hard to swallow

[abby]
so don’t feel too bad
if you don’t really follow
you’re not alone

[chorus]
but then, no one’s alone
in “the woods”
welcome to “the woods”

[abby]
apartment 60!

[jitter]
abby!
she’s bitter and boozy
a bit of a floozy
she’s blowzy and flowzy
and not very choosy

[abby]
apartment 75!

[jitter]
billy!

[jeune]
he wants to write songs
but the prospects are dismal
his thoughts are so deep
that, in fact, they’re abysmal

[abby]
apartment 73!

[jitter]
jeune!

[billy]
finances restricted
emotions conflicted
she wanders and wonders
when she’ll be evicted

by the landlord

[billy and abby]
there’s always the landlord

[chorus]
but who is the landlord?

jitter!
jitter!
jitter!
