Man 1: go, and don’t F-ing disappoint me. Or I can have you cut down. You are not needed. You're only a piece of cloth to clean our messes in the end. Break a leg!
Astraea: Oh dear god.
When I find myself in times of trouble
my thoughts run to me
they say "i'm not enough"
and hurt me anyway
ive read my bible
i havent got in a mess,
and i learned how to pray
he put me up to the test
but they kept me waiting
closed the door
i started pouring tears,
they couldnt hear me sayin
"oh, ive found the one for me maybe"
and "oh i love him and he calls me lady"
"but he ran away and he hasn't been calling me lately"
"and im still wonderin if im his baby
please stop him from running from me,
running from me,"
I saw your car turn the corner of the street
Thought for a second you were coming back for me
But the tail-lights faded and the night stayed cold
Just another promise that didn't take hold
Still waiting for the sound of you
waiting for that to unfold
but you kept me waiting
closed the door
i started pouring tears
you couldn't hear me saying
"oh ive found the one for me maybe
and "oh i love him and he calls me lady
but he ran away and he hasn't been calling me lately
and im still wonderin if im his baby
please stop him from running from me,
running from me,"
Now the phone is ringing and it’s finally you
But I’m busy living like I’m someone new
yea im doing what i always do
But I don’t hear the knocking like I did before
at least its not me any more
and i kept you waiting
closed the door
you started pouring tears
i couldn't hear you saying
"i've found the one for me maybe
and "oh i love her and she calls me her baby"
but she ran away and she hasn't been calling me lately
and i'm still wondering if i'm the one to call her lady
please stop her from running from me,
running from me,
running from me,"
and he kept me waiting!
