Chapter 7 - Over My Head (alt. title: When You Wish Upon a Cable Car)
Tohru had gone into the bathroom to see what she could do about her nose, Kyo almost following her in until he remembered that it was the girls' room.
As soon as Guy finished mopping up Tohru's blood, Momiji bounded up onto the stage and promptly fell due to the wet floor. When he stood up, not visibly hurt, everyone who was usually nice to him clapped, whistled, or shouted encouragements.
Shigure in particular was quite boisterous.
"WHOO!!! GO MOMIJI!!!" he screeched, much like a creepy fangirl. (The Yuki Fanclub: Did you say creepy fangirl?!?)
"Guy, could you please get me my violin? Though it's kind of hard to sing with..."
Guy wordlessly retrieved it, then sat behind the bar to shoot up as Tohru came out of the bathroom with a wad of toilet paper under her nose and Momiji stuck the string instrument under his chin.
When you wish upon a star,
Makes no difference who you are;
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you...
He ceased singing for a moment and walked upstage left to set down his violin as a metronome sounded its ting-tapping music through the building.
I never knew,
I never knew that everything was falling through;
That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be.
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy.
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears and
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head,
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime.
She's on your mind,
She's on your mind.
Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger, I could disengage:
Just say that we agree and then never change;
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard.
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between.
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head,
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime.
She's on your mind,
She's on your mind.
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head,
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime.
She's on your mind,
She's on your...
And suddenly I become a part of your past;
I'm becoming the part that don't last.
I'm losing you and it's effortless.
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around.
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down;
I won't let it go down 'til we torch it ourselves.
And everyone knows I'm in
Over my head,
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime.
She's on your mind,
She's on your mind.
Everyone knows...
She's on your mind...
Everyone knows I'm in over my head,
I'm in over my head,
I'm over my...
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head,
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime.
She's on your mind,
She's on your mind.
Nobody really wondered why he'd picked the song. They already knew.
What they couldn't fathom was why he'd played "Wish Upon a Star" at the beginning.
For the record, I wonder why he picked it.
It just happened.
The songs have been getting so serious that there's less space for comic relief.
DO you remember what Akito's drinking?
