Duel Duet

Music and Lyrics by Richard O'Brien

 

(Spoken: Seducer!
And who are you, sir?
Your twin brother and your accuser!

Arrest that man! He's committed to our care!
I never signed your contract. He's not going anywhere.

Revenge your twin- you tried to abuse her
A ridiculous accusation! You force me- to refuse her.
Then why did you choose her?
Because of YOU, SIR!)

You're a loser. An abomination in the eyes of any sensitive man.
And you're a blind alley cruiser. Always heading down a losing straight,
Dreaming that you're screaming at fate.
You're a dead-end deadbeat nowhere mister
With a kisser like a Mississippi alligator's sister.

I've took as much of you as any man can!

You've lost your heart
You lost your cause
You lost your baby when you lost your balls.
You lost your mind when you lost your grip,
So say bye-bye!
We lost our Mom.
We lost our Dad.
And if I'm losing you, well that's- too bad.

Well the best thing you could ever do is die.

You're a failure. A malformation in the guise of many, an also-ran.
And you're a weeper and a wailer. Always treading on the toes of the great
Generally spreading your weight.
You're a spiteful, hateful, asanine creature.
A pupil with no scruples who knew better than the teacher.

I've took as much of you as any man can!

You've lost your heart
You lost your cause
You lost your baby when you lost your balls.
You lost your mind when you lost your grip,
So say bye-bye!
We lost our home.
Our Family.
You've lost compassion now you're losing me-

Well the best thing you could ever do is die.

Well the best thing you could ever do is die.

Well the best thing you could ever do is die.
