Suffering lyrics
Suffering
[ENSEMBLE]
Penelope
Penelope
[PENELOPE]
Don’t you miss me?
[ODYSSEUS]
More than you know
[PENELOPE]
Then jump in the water and kiss me
[ODYSSEUS]
Penelope, I’ve told you this before
You know I’m afraid of the water
[PENELOPE]
I’ll make sure that you are safe and sound
Come play with me and our daughter and let’s watch our love leave the ground
[ODYSSEUS]
Oh, I would
But I’d be suffering trying to float the whole time
[PENELOPE]
I would take the suffering from you
[ODYSSEUS]
Oh, as good as it sounds, right here I’m just fin?
[PENELOPE]
I could take the suffering from you
[ODYSSEUS]
You know that I pr?fer my feet on the ground
[PENELOPE]
I will take the suffering from you
[ODYSSEUS]
Fine, but only if you answer a question or two
[PENELOPE]
Of course!
[ODYSSEUS]
Okay, so let’s say I was on the run or hiding…
From I don’t know Poseidon…
And let’s say he blocked the way home with giant waves and giant storms
[PENELOPE]
Oh no!
[ODYSSEUS]
How am I to evade him?
How am I to get home?
Which route should I take?
Where am I supposed to go?
[PENELOPE]
He will chase you high and low
So find a place he’d never go
The one way you'll get home
Is sailing where he's scared to roam, oh
It’s through the lair of Scylla
[ODYSSEUS]
No...
[PENELOPE]
This is your only way home
The lair of Scylla
[ODYSSEUS]
But Scylla has a cost
[PENELOPE]
Well, you asked and now you know
Now jump in the water!
[ODYSSEUS]
Penelope, why?
You know I’m too shy and terrified
[PENELOPE]
I would take the suffering from you
[ODYSSEUS]
Oh, for you, I would die, but can't you let me stay dry?
[PENELOPE]
I could take the suffering from you
[ODYSSEUS]
You should come onto the ship
We'll jump at the same time
[PENELOPE]
I will take the suffering from you
[ODYSSEUS]
Ah, the things I do for you
