I'm not surprised, not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times, I stopped keeping track



Talk myself in, I talk myself out
I get all worked up, then I let myself down

I tried so very hard not to lose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought, I thought of every possibility

And I know someday that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, that I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet




I might have to wait, I'll never give up
I guess it's half timing, and the other half's luck
Wherever you are
whenever it's right
You'll come out of nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazing
And, baby, your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

And somehow I know that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet



They say all's fair
In love and war
But I won't need to fight it
We'll get it right and we'll be united





And I know that we can be so amazing
And being in your life is gonna change me

And now I can see every single possibility



And someday I know it'll all turn out
And I'll work to work it out
Promise you, kid, I'll give more than I get

Than I get, than I get, than I get

Oh, you know it'll all turn out
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid to give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

I just haven't met you yet
Oh, promise you, kid
To give so much more than I get





I said love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love
(I just haven't met you yet)
Love, love, love, love Love, love
I just haven't met you yet

DAD: Well, I guess this it's my time.

MUM: *wails*

Music begins

DAD: It's okay honey. I've lived a good life. And I'm proud of you all.

MUM: *wails*

DAUGHTER: Don't talk like that, Dad! I know someone will find a cure for this horrible disease!

DAD: Honey, it's okay, I...

DAUGHTER: Science will come, so please try and fight
They'll formulate and experiment til they get it right

SCIENTISTS enter

SCIENTIST #1: Well then there's no need for you to frown
I hypothesize that we won't let you down.

SCIENTIST #2: So what was the doctor's diagnosis
DAUGHTER: A nasty case of nasopharyngitis
SCIENTIST #2: You can't possibly mean the common cold...

SCIENTIST #1: Well we've invented a whole lotta ways
Different methods, of keeping that virus at bay
SCIENTIST #2: And I promise you, kid, we'll keep up the experiments
#1 & #2: We just haven't cured it yet.

MUM: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVEN'T CURED IT YET? IT'S THE COMMON COLD. THE COMMON COLD. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

SCIENTIST #1: There's so many strains, it's complicated
DAUGHTER: Well no need to hurry. Not like he's nearly DEAD
SCIENTIST #2 (pulling SCIENTIST #1 aside): What if we splice
his mutated strain
With this sample of radioactive waste

SCIENTIST #1: Making use of unstable radiation
Seems like a crazy plan of action
SCIENTIST #2: Crazy enough to be a possibility...

SCIENTIST #2: We'll take this sample of his toxic disease
SCIENTIST #1: Add gamma rays, with a pinch of vitamin C
SCIENTIST #2: And I'm pretty sure that's the first cure we've invented
1&2: With no surprise side effects!

(DOCTOR enters)

DOCTOR: Did someone call
For a doctor
SCIENTIST #1: Give this to the man that's dying
SCIENTIST #2: And stop your crying
he won't be flat-lining

(Instrumental. Patient flatlines on the start of the brass line. Quickly sheeted and removed by very well covered HOSPITAL STAFF. DAUGHTER consoles MUM. )

SCIENTIST #2: I think that I messed up a calculation
That solution really should have raised him
(Crashing noises and screaming from backstage.)
SCIENTIST #1: I don't think we considered every possibility...

(Blood-curdling zombie groan cuts through the screaming.)

DAUGHTER: What is that screaming all about?
SCIENTIST #2: I'd rather not to find out...
SCIENTIST #1: The new vaccine may have backfired,
(Zombie DAD and zombie HOSPITAL STAFF enter stage.)
SCIENTIST #1: backfired backfired backfired!

SCIENTIST #2: Well his cold is nowhere to be seen!
SCIENTIST #1: Much like evidence of higher brain activity!
I would conclude the result of our experiment..
1 & 2: We've unleashed the undead.

SCIENTIST #2: Yeah we did.
SCIENTIST #1: Not worth celebrating over!
SCIENTIST #2: Hi-five!
SCIENTIST #1: WE UNLEASHED THE GOD DAMNED UNDEAD
SCIENTIST #2: Yeah we did. (beat). JESUS CHRIST. WE UNLEASHED THE UNDEAD.
SCIENTIST #1:  LETS GET OUT OF HERE.


ZOMBIE BACKUP SINGERS: I said run, run, run, run, run, run, run run
SCIENTIST 1 (offstage): ZOMBIES. FUCKING ZOMBIES.
ZOMBIE BACKUP SINGERS: run, run, run, run, run, run
SCIENTIST 2 (offstage): THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE IS DOOMED.
