Verosika starts singing her shitty song,the same one from the beach

I listen my eyes rolling to the same annoying beat I had to endure while killing for a parking space.

I light a cigarette and smoke,after a few minutes she finishes "Oh boy I thought you'd never finish." I say to her as she snarls.

Me and Caleb walk to the center stage,and I repeat how I recruited Caleb all those years ago.

I begin strumming my guitar and singing.

"Right here right now,I put the offer out,I don't wanna chase you down,I know you see it."

"You run with me and I can cut you,out of the treachery and the walls you keep in."

"So trade that typical for something colorful and if its crazy live a little crazy,you can play it sensible,A king of conventional or you could risk it all and see...."

"Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play cause I got what you need."

"So come with me and take the ride
I'll take to the other side"

"Cause you could do like you do or you could do like me
Stay in the cage
Or you'll finally take the key"

"Oh Damn!! Suddenly you're free to fly
I'll take you to the other side."

Caleb then begins singing his part remembering it from back then.

Ok my friend you wanna cut me in
Well I hate to tell you but it just won't happen,So thanks but no I think I'm good to go.

Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in
Now I admire you and that whole show you do.

You're onto something really it's something
But I live above the swells and we don't pick up peanut shells
I'll have to leave this up to you

Don't you know that I'm okay with this uptown part I get to play
'Cause I got what I need and I don't want to take the ride
I don't need to see the other side
So go and do like you do
I'm good to do like me
Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key
Oh, damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine
I don't need to see the other side

Now is this really how you like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays

If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns

But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little
Just let me give you the freedom to dream
And it'll wake you up and cure your aching
Take your walls and start 'em breaking
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
But I guess I'll leave that up to you
