Part 8
COME ALIVE

Back Again to the Future

“Hey how do I get outta here?!” the young bunny yells from his cage on the streets of the metropolis.

Sky-M  approaches him.  “Only you can get yourself out.”

“But they put me here.”

“Well, that’s the ironic thing…  They put you here, but you’re the only one who can get you out of it…”

“You’re crazy, lady…”

“Yeah, I know, right?…  Hey, what’s your name?”

“Tommy…”

“Well look, Tommy, I’ll tell you what helps me…”  And the music begins1:

Play

Sky-M dances and sings:

Tommy thinks the crazies are back in my mind
Tommy says the childrens are clouding my head
When everything is wrong I dance inside my mind

That’s when I come alive
Like a schizo running wild
That’s when I come alive
Now let’s go wild

Come on!

We’re kickin’ at your window and keepin’ you up
And if you come to find me I’ll color you red
We’re dancing in the dungeon every Monday night

That’s when we come alive
Like a schizo running wild
That’s when I come alive
Now let’s go wild

Tommy slowly starts dancing more and more, and he and other animals from the street break free from their cages and dance like a schizos.

You want to see me crazy takin’ my meds
And wipe away the noises, you think I’m a mess
Take me six feet under
But while your roses died I came alive

You better leave the town I’m comin’ comin’ for you
Call the Tommy up and tell him come help you out
I’m getting wild on you you better go and call the law

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, YOW!
You don’t know nothin’!

Tommy thinks the crazies are back in my mind
Tommy says the children are clouding my head
When everything is wrong just dance inside your mind
And you’ll come alive

YAAAAAA!

You don’t know nothin’!
You don’t know nothin’!
