X-Men the Musical!
By GirlX2
I don't own X-Men or Wicked. This is just something that occured to me when I was bored. Enjoy!
(The Opening scene of X-Men)
(Xavier and Magneto emerge from the room with the mutant council.)
Xavier
(spoken) Erik - why couldn't you have stayed calm for once, instead of flying off the handle!
(sung) I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt our cause forever
I hope you think you're clever!
Magneto
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy, too
I hope you're proud how you
Would grovel to those inferiors
To feel good about your interior
BOTH
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now
Xavier
(spoken) Erik, listen to me. Just tell the mutant council you're sorry:
(sung) You can still be a great communicator
What you've worked and strived for
You can have what we've both wanted:
Magneto
(spoken) I know:
(sung) But I can't want it -
No - I don't want it
Anymore:
Something has surfaced within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
They've set to keep us dumb and lame
Too late for worthless treaties
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!
(He rises into the air)
Xavier (Looks around, verifying no one is seeing this)
Can't I make you understand?
This isn't the right way to do it:
Magneto
I'm through accepting limits
Because someone says they're so
Some things you won't try to change
But if I try, then I'll know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing morals I guess I've lost
Well, if that's morality
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner fly
Defying gravity
Tell me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down:
(spoken) Charles - come with me. Think of what we could
do: together.
(sung) Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we're the greatest team
That's ever been
Charles -
The world, the way I'll do it:
Xavier
If we are a unit:
BOTH
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity
Magneto
They'll never bring us down!
(spoken) Well? Are you coming?
Xavier
I hope you'll re-consider
Now that you've lost your mind
Magneto
(spoken) You too
(sung) I hope you'll see this is fine
Both
I really hope you see it
But even if you keep it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, old friend:
Magneto
So if you care to find me
I'll be above the political sky!
As I once read, dear Charles:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those fools who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll beat them in renown
And nobody they try and send
No way they try to mend
Is ever going to bring me down!
Xavier
Please, re-think this!
Non-Mutants
Look at him, he's impure!
Get him!
Magneto
Just try and bring me down!
Non-Mutants
No one wants the mutants
So we've got to bring him
Down!
