#upbeatululation

Why are there so many songs about Homestuck And why they’re all on Broadway? Maybe it's fun here, to see them all up there Just singing and dancing away

So we've been told that it's cringe or a waste I don't care now, it's my dream Someday I'll find it The rainbow connection The stage hands, the singers, and me

Who said that every song Would be karkalicious Just stuck on repeat world wide But each note, to melody And lyric to song Inspired and starry-eyed

It sounds amazing, with glorious phrasing A chorus of pals and a beat I think I’ve found it The rainbow connection The stage hands, the singers, and me

All singing perfect harmony  This moment feeling just like magic

I’ve gazed onto the stage My eyes filled with wonder Their hands stretched out reaching to me Music sounds sweeter when we sing together I join them all up here see

I’ve felt it too many times to ignore it  It’s something that I’m supposed to be I know I’ve found it The rainbow connection The stage hands, the singers, and me

[EVERYONE]

Boys and girls of every age

Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

Come with us and you will see

This, our town of Halloween

[ARADIA, FEFERI, KANAYA]

This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Pumpkins scream in the dead of night

This is Halloween, everybody make a scene

Trick or treat 'til the neighbors gonna die of fright

It's our town, everybody scream

In this town of Halloween

[SOLLUX]

I am the one hiding under your bed

Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red

[FEFERI]

I am the one hiding under your stairs

Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

[EVERYONE] This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

Round that corner bend, hiding in the trash can

Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll

Red and black

[EQUIUS]

And slimy green

[JADE]

Say it once, say it twice

Take a chance and roll the dice

Ride with the moon in the dead of night

[DAVE]

Everybody scream, everybody scream

[DIRK, SOLLUX, KARKAT]

In our town of Halloween!

[KARKAT]

I am the clown with the tear-away face

Here in a flash and gone without a trace

[ARADIA]

I am the “who” when you call, “Who's there?”

[VRISKA]

I am the wind blowing through your hair

[ROXY]

I am the shadow on the moon at night

Filling your dreams to the brim with fright

[EVERYONE]

This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

[JADE, FEFERI, ROXY]

[KANAYA]

Don't we love it now? [EVERYONE]

Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back

[KARKAT]

And scream like a banshee Make you jump [EVERYONE] Out of your skin

[ARADIA, FEFERI, KANAYA,]

This is Halloween, everybody scream

Tavros: Rockin' around the Christmas tree At the Christmas party hop

Nepeta: Mistletoe hung where you can see Every couple tries to stop

Karkat: Rockin' around the Christmas tree Let the Christmas spirit ring

Sollux: Later we'll have some pumpkin pie And we'll do some caroling

Dirk: You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear

All: Voices singing let's be jolly Deck the halls with boughs of holly

John: Rockin' around the Christmas tree Have a happy holiday

Jade: Everyone dancing merrily In the new old-fashioned way

Calliope: You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear

All: Voices singing let's be jolly Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Aradia: Rockin' around the Christmas tree Have a happy holiday

[Sollux]

I don't know what I was thinking

Leaving my child behind

Now I suffer the curse and now I am blind

[Karkat]

With all this anger, guilt and sadness

Coming to haunt me forever

I can't wait for the cliff at the end of the river

[Nepeta]

Is this revenge I am seeking?

Or seeking someone to avenge me?

Stuck in my own paradox, I wanna set myself free

[June]

Maybe I should chase and find

Before they'll try to stop it

It won't be long before I'll become a puppet

[Sollux, Karkat, Nepeta, June]

It's been so long

Since I last have seen my son lost to this monster

To the man behind the slaughter

Since you've been gone

I've been singing this stupid song so I could ponder

The sanity of your mother

[instrumental]

[Rose]

I wish I lived in the present

With the gift of my past mistakes

But the future keeps luring in like a pack of snakes

[Jade]

Your sweet little eyes, your little smile is all I remember

Those fuzzy memories mess with my temper

[Caliborn]

Justification is killing me

But killing isn't justified

[Calliope]

What happened to my son? I'm terrified

[Caliborn]

It lingers in my mind

And the thought keeps on getting bigger

[Calliope]

I'm sorry my sweet baby, I wish I've been there

[Rose, Jade, Caliborn, Calliope]

It's been so long

Since I last have seen my son lost to this monster

To the man behind the slaughter

Since you've been gone

I've been singing this stupid song so I could ponder
