No Good Deed
(Takes Place while Logan is holding Rogue on top of the Statue of Liberty)
Logan:
(spoken) Rogue!
(He places his hand on her skin)
(sung)
Let her flesh not be torn
Let her hair keep no change
Though he caught her
Let her feel no pain
Let her bones never twist
And however he try'd
To destroy her
Let her never die:
Let her never die:
(spoken)
Argh!
(sung)
What good is this trying?
I don't even know what I'm doing!
I don't even know any tricks I ought to try
Rogue, how are you?
Already dead, or dying?
One more mistake I can add to my
Generous supply?
No good deed goes unpunished
No act of chivalry goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished!
Jeannie:
Professor X:
Rogue:
Rogue!
One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention:
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking redemption?
Is that all good deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why
No good deed goes unpunished
All heroic urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well -
Well, look at what well-meant did:
All right, enough - so be it
So be it, then:
Let all mutants be agreed
I'm evil through and through
If I cannot succeed
Rogue, in saving you
I will promise 'No good deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again',
No good deed
Will I do again!
(Logan gasps and passes out as Rogue wakes up)
