A SONG FOR SILENCE
based on the Blues Traveller song, “Girl Inside My Head”
When all is said and done
I wish I needed no one
*Silence, walking in the rain*
Never was up to me
Just something in her way that sets me free
It seems so easy
*Aphraell standing in front of Silence and yelling at him, pausing, and then pointing at him, at the girls, and then looking questioning. Silence boggles.*
And yeah I try to pay attention
*Silence getting chased by a mob*
But there's only four things running through my mind
*Catching his breath*
How hard will it be if she is nice to me?
*Dakini casually tripping him as he walks by.*
How bad will it get if I let her get to know me?
*Adriss walking in on him in the shower and not even blinking*
Should she see the willing dog or should I be a jungle cat?
*Nyree laughing at Silence yelling*
And most of all, my god, how does she make her eyes do that?
*Aphraell sparkling at the camera*
And I don't need another girl inside my head
Girl inside my head
*Silence, watching the girls go to their rooms at an in, leaving him standing alone in the hallway, and scratching his head*
"Johnny, be brave." I say inside
As I won't take a bite from the apple that she gave me
*Silence, choking on something Adriss cooked*
But that's not what I'm after
Still all along, my mother's voice singing "Treat her like a lady"
*Aphraell pointing to herself and talking*
And yeah I try to pay attention
*Silence running the other direction from a mob*
But there's only four things running through my mind
*Silence unconscious and bruised*
How hard will it be if she is nice to me?
*Nyree giving him tips while silence is RED.*
How bad will it get if I let her get to know me?
*Dakini with a knife to his throat, looking tired*
Should she see the willing dog or should I be a jungle cat?
*Aphraell giving Silence a friendly noogie and him yelling at her for it*
And most of all, my god, how does she make her eyes do that?
*Adriss doing magic, eyes glowing*
And I don't need another girl inside my head
Girl inside my head
*Silence pleading with the Assassins and getting stepped on.*
instrumental,
Shots of the girls interspersed with Silence running towards the camera and looking back fearfully…..and then falling over a lot of things and ending in a heap.
I'm not the only one to write her letters
*Aphraell looking at the Arkiko note, and twitching*
It doesn't matter anyhow
The question isn't if but...
*The girls walking down a hill,
Silence comes into view behind them.*
How hard will it be if she is nice to me?
*Aphraell defending Silence’s honor to the others.*
How bad will it get if I let her get to know me?
*Nyree dressing him in drag*
Should she see the willing dog or should I be a jungle cat?
*Silence trying to teach Adriss how to cook while wearing a frilly apron*
And most of all, my god, how does she make her eyes do that?
*Dakini….glaring.*
How hard will it be if she is nice to me?
How bad will it get if I let her get to know me?
*Everyone running from a mob, Aphraell laughing and trying to explain why*
Should she see the willing dog or should I be a jungle cat?
*Silence tied to a tree I drag with a sign around his neck that says “Dragonbait”*
And most of all, my god, how does she make her eyes do that?
*Nyree wiggling her eyebrows*
And I don't need another girl inside my head
Girl inside my head
*Silence writing another letter to the Assassins. The last line is this:
“They’re crazy as loons, the lot of them. But by the gods, we just might need them after all.”
Silence taps his chin with his pen and sighs.*
