a conversation - pulp musicals lyrics
samuel
did i imagine the whole event
a subconscious sleight of hand
did i lose all of my wits when i needed them most
because the only other explanation
is that i had a conversation with a ghost
i’m not crazy, rose. i swear someone was just
here and then they vanished
rose
i didn’t say that you were. maybe… you just got
sea*sick! you’d think i’d be used to sailing after all
our time spent at sea, but my stomach has been–
samuel
this was as real as you are to me right now. i did
not imagine it!
rose
okay. but can we at least ask the captain? hе
must know everyone on board
samuel
did i closе my eyes at the critical moment
just a blink, and then he’s gone
was it a sailor passing by on the way to their post
i know that i wasn’t dreaming
could i have had a conversation with a ghost
aj
his name was kal?
samuel
appeared to be around forty years of age, a bit
taller than i am
rose
is there anyone on board that fits that
description?
aj
(trying to hide his nerves)
no. i’ve never had a crewman by that name
rose
samuel spoke to him on deck not five minutes
ago
samuel
wore a dirty black cloak, offered me rum–
aj
i said no! (catching himself) enough of this nonsense. dismissed
chorus
all quiet through the night
not a move, not a peep
sunrise, standing by
samuel
walking on eggsh*lls, losing sleep
chorus
out there now on the starboard bow
not a change, not a fret
can we move ahead
samuel
not yet
did any hand on deck believe me
when i told them what i saw
or do they think my mind is finally toast
well, i bet that they would act the same way
if they had a conversation with a…
margaret
i just met with the captain. his fears of
privateering have subsided, and he has given the
go*ahead for a small boarding party
herschel
i have a bad feeling about this
margaret
rose, john * you’re to accompany morgan in the
initial search. captain’s orders
rose
aye*aye, margaret! the first ones to board, john
how exciting!
herschel
miss stratford, slow down, there are many
dangers to boarding a strange ship
rose
uh*huh, when do we leave?
herschel
miss strat– (sighs)
samuel
after all the things we’ve been through
am i really just a passenger
i can’t abandon ship and head straight for the coast
yes, this is the sargasso
and i just had a science, horror, myth, or magic
conversation with a ghost
margaret
samuel, will you be alright?
samuel
i don’t suppose i can borrow your magic for a
little while?
margaret
hey, if you’re in trouble, you know where to find
me
