1998 Off-Broadway musical by William Finn A New Brain the Musical - An Invitation To Sleep In My Arms Lyrics
Song from "A New Brain the Musical" is titled "An Invitation To Sleep In My Arms" and is written by William Finn.
GORDON: Tomorrow they’ll strap me down on a bed And remove the top of my head Which is why I don’t think that now’s the right time To have too much hope I may be a dope But I don’t think so No, I don’t think so No, I don’t think so
ROGER: Would you ever, consider, lying close to me tonight Could be exciting, I’m inviting you to sleep in my arms Maybe we’ll laugh to loud Maybe we’ll dance and you will sing Maybe we’ll smile at all the pleasures Sex and eating often bring Maybe we’ll say no words Just saying nothing is sublime Maybe we’ll read a book you always meant to read For which you hadn’t found the time
RHODA: Oh God! Sorry…Hello…Hmm Excuse me But Bungee’s calling to state How though he know you’re about to sedate But by tomorrow at ten he needs the “Yes” song
GORDON: f**k Him!
RHODA: He said no matter what he’s going to rehearse the “Yes” song
GORDON: He’ll wait
RHODA: He said his son, Mr. Music, wrote a verse of the “Yes” song He is going to use if your song isn’t finished Tonight then, just disregard what he said And sit and reminisce with Roger instead If you get over anxious pick up a pen Finish the song, maybe I’m wrong But I don’t think so No, I don’t think so No, I don’t think so
GORDON: I’d love to love but need to write I get distracted so damn easily! They’ll be other nights I’ll have to sleep your arms I should have done what I meant to do I could have been what I meant to be I could have written the score to a rise or a symphony A simple symphony A simple symphony A simple symphony Look it’s my decision ok!
ROGER: Forgetting the writing I’m inviting you to sleep in my arms And if you snore I’ll let you snore Maybe there’s more! Maybe there’s more Maybe we’ll say no words Just saying nothing is sublime Maybe we’ll read a book you always meant to read
RHODA: Aren’t you afraid that you’ll lose this job? What else will f**k you if you lose this job? You need this job!
MIMI: Nobody asked my opinion But why don’t you tell him His was the best invitation Why is he making such a scene? While you sit discussing what you’ve got to discuss I’m off to your place for a date with Mr. Clean, I love him! Lie with the man What are you stupid? Go and fly with the man At least tonight, go fly While I depart in hope and not in sorrow Goodbye my loves goodbye Operation tomorrow
GORDON: Tonight though could be my very last chance To write a something I could be remembered by It may not be a great song But it could be my last song And I hope you understand If I simply kiss your hand And say goodnight
