                                                                           Alex
   MAYDAY SITUATION OVERLOAD. I'M RESTLESS, OBSESSED WITH YOUR FUTURE.
AND ALL MY WORRIES THEY DON'T BOTHER YOU. COLLECTED, YOU RENDER ME
USELESS. BUT I CARRY ON.
   RIGHT NOW, I THINK THAT YOU THINK THAT I'M HALF DRUNK, SEARCHING
FOR SOMETHING OF SUBSTANCE. CASUALLY DROPPING A LINE DESIGNED, TO
KEEP YOU NEXT TO ME. I CAN'T AWKWARDLY CRAFT IN ADVANCE. I KNOW
YOU WOULDN'T FALL FOR THAT. YOU SAY "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY HAND" AND
WE'LL CARRY ON.
   I DON'T WANNA SAY GOODNIGHT. THE CITY COMES ALIVE WHEN WE'RE
TOGETHER. WHY CAN'T THURSDAY LAST FOREVER? I DON'T WANNA SAY
GOODNIGHT. I'VE NEVER BEEN SO SURE. JUST DO IT FOR THE MEMORIES.
DO IT FOR BALTIMORE, AND DO IT FOR ME.
   HOT DAMN, LOOK AT ME NOW. I'M ALL CAUGHT UP, RIDING THE HIGH
OF MY GOOD LUCK. CASUALLY DROPPING A LINE DESIGNED TO KEEP YOU
NEXT TO ME. I BET YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD FALL AGAIN. SO
MUCH FOR KEEPING THIS JUST FRIENDS. SHUT UP AND KISS ME NOW,
AND WE CARRY ON.
   I DON'T WANNA SAY GOODNIGHT. THE CITY COMES ALIVE WHEN WE'RE
TOGETHER. WHY CAN'T THURSDAY LAST FOREVER? I DON'T WANNA SAY
GOODNIGHT. I'VE NEVER BEEN SO SURE. JUST DO IT FOR THE MEMORIES. DO IT
FOR BALTIMORE, AND DO IT FOR ME (DO IT FOR ME).
   MAYDAY SITUATION OVERLOAD. I'M RESTLESS OBSESSED WITH YOUR
FUTURE. AND ALL MY WORRIES THEY DON'T BOTHER YOU. COLLECTED
YOU RENDER ME USELESS. BUT I CARRY ON.
   I DON'T WANNA SAY GOODNIGHT. THE CITY COMES ALIVE WHEN WE'RE
TOGETHER. WHY CAN'T THURSDAY LAST FOREVER? I DON'T WANNA SAY
GOODNIGHT. I'VE NEVER BEEN SO SURE. JUST DO IT FOR THE MEMORIES.

Alex: Oh God, this is going to be a long boring ride. But I'm rescuing a damsel in distress. It's a good thing I have a ton of energy drinks.


(All lights black out. ALEX leaves the stage.)
