Song by Bat Boy: The Musical Cast<br /><br>

TOWNSFOLK: Adlibs and gestures. "Kill the freak!"<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: <br>

How could you tell me I was human, when you knew me to be a beast?<br>

<br>

MEREDITH: <br>

Look inside yourself, Edgar. You'll see a soul. <br>

Does a beast have a soul?<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: A soul? Is that what you call it,<br>

that empty pit, that wound where my heart should be?<br>

You dug this hole in me bit by bit, nothing is left of me!<br>

Give me one reason why I should live.<br>

See, you have no reply.<br>

The world is man or beast, but I am both or neither.<br>

So goodbye!<br>

<br>

SHERIFF: I'm sorry, Edgar, really am.<br>

Sorry to hear your life's a sham.<br>

Still, it doesn't have to end this way!<br>

So put these on and don't be cute.<br>

A van's en route from the institute.<br>

He gets in it, no one dies today.<br>

<br>

MOB: Sheriff, you idiot, why do you pity it?<br>

Look at the blood on him- why don't you kill him!<br>

What kinda man are you?<br>

What are you gonna do?<br>

We oughtta kill you too!<br>

Why don't you kill him!<br>

GET HIM! GET HIM!<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: Don't deny the obvious- such an ugly boy.<br>

Everywhere you put me, look what I destroy!<br>

<br>

MOB: Shoot him! Stop him! Jesus, Sheriff!<br>

Shoot him! Kill him! Kill him! Do it!<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: Not strung up by farmers or caged in by police.<br>

If you're not a coward, give me peace.<br>

<br>

MOB: Parker, you idiot, why do you pity it?<br>

Look at the blood on him- God, you're both evil!<br>

What kinda man are you?<br>

What are you gonna do?<br>

Parker, he wants you to!<br>

Kill him or we will!<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: Coward.<br>

<br>

DR. PARKER: I'm sorry.<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: You know...<br>

One thing alone saved me from despair,<br>

back in my feral stage.<br>

<br>

SHELLEY: Edgar...<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: Once in a while she would meet my stare.<br>

Then I'd forget the cage.<br>

<br>

MEREDITH: Edgar, don't!<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: But surely her smile wasn't meant for me.<br>

<br>

SHELLEY: Edgar no!<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: Easier to dismiss. But, tonight she kissed me, here.<br>

<br>

(General gasp)<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: Tonight she gave me this. (He takes out Shelley's handkerchief)<br>

I smell her perfume and her sweat...<br>

<br>

DR. PARKER: Oh my God...<br>

<br>

TOWNFOLK: Jesus!<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: Look what a gift she gave me-<br>

DR. PARKER: Is it true?<br>

BAT BOY: Almost enough to save me.<br>

SHELLEY: Yes!<br>

BAT BOY: And I imagine you're upset...<br>

DR. PARKER: Oh my God!<br>

BAT BOY: But I would kill for her again!<br>

<br>

MOB: Stop him! Kill him!<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: And do you know what she did then?<br>

MOB: Stop!<br>

BAT BOY: She offered me her vein.<br>

MOB: No!<br>

BAT BOY: She offered me her blood!<br>

MOB: God!<br>

BAT BOY: She offered me everything!<br>

<br>

(Dr. Parker puts a knife to Bat Boy's throat. Meredith stops him.)<br>

<br>

DR.PARKER: Meredith, I'm sorry. All of this is me.<br>

MEREDITH: Thomas, please.<br>

<br>

DR.PARKER: (overlapping) <br>

I can't bear to look at him. You are all I see. <br>

His eyes, Meredith, he has your eyes.<br>

It hurts too much to put behind me... the way I lost you.<br>

<br>

MEREDITH: (overlapping) <br>

Thomas, don't. <br>

Please, oh Thomas, don't deny the obvious, leave the past behind. <br>

We can start again, love. We have both been blind.<br>

<br>

CROWD: Parker, damn you... Parker, you do it now...<br>

MEREDITH: Thomas, I forgive you. I know, my love, I know.<br>

DR.PARKER: And every day his eyes remind me.<br>

<br>

CROWD: Now! Now! Now!<br>

<br>

MEREDITH: Thomas, come here. Thomas, let him go!<br>

<br>

DR.PARKER: Edgar! Are you hungry?<br>

<br>

(Bat Boy, wounded, falls to Shelley's arms)<br>

<br>

SHELLEY: Oh, Edgar! My dear, sweet boy...<br>

<br>

BAT BOY: I am not a boy. I am an animal. (He dies)<br>

<br>
