Alternate closing to act 1. comes in from theme sketch 3 with Jurassic Quark shouting
**
You want energy? I'll give you energy lights flickering (the introduction to the music starts before JQ says this)
**
after the first verse chorus, Malcolm will say run.
This is to Time is Running out - Muse
please note italicised lyrics on the right hand side will need changing
the ending of the song sort of tapers of a bit, but we could change that or we could add other songs and make a medley, but i don't think that this is necessary as we can make this song big and suspenseful enough for the closing of the first act (because isn't that what we're trying to achieve on closing the first act?)

New thoughts:
this song is decent enough to stand on its own (especially if you build the dynamics appropriately)
I think I'm drowning asphyxiated I wanna break this spell that you've created you're something beautiful a contradiction I wanna play the game I want the friction you will be the death of me you will be the death of me bury it I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it I won't let you murder it our time is running out our time is running out you can't push it underground you can't stop it screaming out I wanted freedom bound and restricted I tried to give you up but I'm addicted now that you know I'm trapped sense of elation you'd never dream of breaking this fixation you will squeeze the life out of me bury it I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it I won't let you murder it our time is running out our time is running out you can't push it underground you can't stop it screaming out how did it come to this? ooooohh you will suck the life out of me bury it I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it I won't let you murder it our time is running out our time is running out you can't push it underground you can't stop it screaming out How did it come to this? ooooohh | Charging the public-per kilowatt hour gonna make a fortune with my pow-w-er So that's your plan-n then No flaws about it Well I won't play the game I won't just submit you will be the death of me coz you want to steal my energy Harvest it I won't let you harvest it I won't let you siphon it I won't let you capture it Now your time is running out your time is running out You can't keep me tied and bound Just try and stop me-e now Short Interlude (Malcolm: Everybody RUN!) The quark starts catching people and turning them into quarks (will be choreographed) Ann falls or something and ends up coming face to face with the quark and his new minions Now that I'm out and free I'll be your Judgement a sentence you will get for your cruel intent now that you know you're trapped I feel your tension Thats right you should be scared of your new "invention" At this point Malcolm or Lisa runs back and drags ANN away or something like that (malcolm because of that whole thing about liking each other later on in the story) JQ is now singing towards her retreating form (layering of songs may begin here) You won't get a drop out of me Harvest it I won't let you harvest it I won't let you siphon it I won't let you capture it This is your final hour This is your final hour You'll all be turned into quarks Thanks to your thirst for power It's time to end this ooooohh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah x2 ooooohh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah interlude where the back up dancers align themselves into a circle around JQ and dance, before splitting into concentric circles and dancing around JQ, you will suck the life out of me harvest it I won't let you harvest it I won't let you siphon it I won't let you capture it it This is your final hour This is your final hour I'm gonna end thisYou'll all be turned into quarks Thanks to your thirst for power ooooohh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah x2 ooooohh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah outro where the quarks will arrange themselves around the stage (and where the lights go down and then/but the lights at the front of the stage remain on, so that the shadows of the quarks stretch onto the back wall, followed by a hard lights down |
