Defying Newton's Laws - A parody of Defying Gravity from Wicked
After Erik has taken Christine back to his house by the lake, right after Down Once More, Christine cries out:
Christine, spoken: Erik! Why couldn't you have stayed calm for once?
Instead of relying on your lasso?
(Sung) I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now!
I hope you're happy how you've lost me for forever!
I hope you think that's clever!
I hope you're happy!
Erik: I hope you're happy, too!
I hope you're proud how you would choose Raoul over me!
To think he is the key!
Both: So though I can't imagine how,
I hope you're happy right now!
Erik, spoken: Christine,
Listen to me.
Just tell me you love me.
(Sung) You can still live down here with me.
What I've hoped and waited for.
They'll be more music than you wanted!
Christine: I know, but I don't want it.
No.
I can't want it anymore.
The choice I made is different.
You just don't seem the same.
I'm sick of playing by the rules of your real crazy game.
Too late for second thoughts.
Too late to go back to sleep.
It's time to trust my choices
Close my eyes
And speed!
It's time to try defying Newton's laws!
I think I'll try defying Newton's laws.
And you can't slow me down!
Erik: Can't I make you understand?
Your choices are the wrong ones to make!
Christine: I'm through accepting limits
Because you said they're so.
Your life may never change
But mine will change, I'll tell you so!
Too long I've been afraid of
My angel's love gone and lost!
But if that's love,
It comes at much too high a cost!
So now I'll try defying Newton's laws.
Say your good-byes.
I'm defying Newton's laws!
And you can't slow me down!
Erik, spoken: Christine, stay with me. Think of what we could do together!
(Sung) Unlimited.
Together we're unlimited.
Together we're the best musicians there's ever been!
Christine,
Dreams, the way we planned them.
If we work together.
Both: There's no song we cannot sing!
Just you and I,
Defying Newton's laws!
With you and I,
defying Newton's laws!
They'll never slow us down!
Erik, spoken: So, are you staying?
(Christine shakes her head).
Erik: I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this.
Christine: Me too.
I hope it brings me bliss.
Both: I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it!
I hope you're happy in the end!
I hope you're happy,
My friend!
Christine: So if you try to find me
Don't look around here, no!
This isn't the place for me.
Because I tried, I will now know!
And now that I know that,
I know Raoul is for me!
Maybe I will come back,
But just for a visit, 'cause see,
Right now I'll try defying Newton's laws.
I'm running fast,
Defying Newton's laws.
And soon I'll be married to Raoul!
And nobody in all of France
No phantom who lives with the ants
Is ever gonna slow meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee down!
