Into The Woods Into The Woods - Agony (Reprise)

[Cinderella's Prince]
High in a tower
Like yours was, but higher
A beauty asleep

All round the tower
A thicket of briar
A hundred feet deep

Agony!
No frustration mor keen
When the one thing you want
Is a thing that you've not even seen

[Rapunzel's Prince]
I found a casket
Entirely of glass
No, it's unbreakable

Inside, don't ask it
A maiden, alas
Just as unwakable

[Both]
What unmistakable agony!
Is the way always barred?

[Rapunzel's Prince]
She has skin white as snow

[Cinderella's Prince]
Did you learn her name?

[Rapunzel's Prince]
No, There's a dwarf standing guard

[Both]
Agony!
Such that Princes must weep!
Always in thrall most
To anything almost
Or something asleep

[Cinderella's Prince]
If it were not for the thicket

[Rapunzel's Prince]
A thicket's no trick
Is it thick?

[Cinderella's Prince]
It's the thickest

[Rapunzel's Prince]
The quickest
Is pick it
Apart with a stick

[Cinderella's Prince]
Yes, but even one prick
It's my thing about blood

[Rapunzel's Prince]
Well, it's sick!

[Cinderella's Prince]
It's no sicker
Than you thing with dwarves

[Rapunzel's Prince]
Dwarfs

[Cinderella's Prince]
Dwarfs

[Rapunzel's Prince]
Dwarfs are every upsetting

[Both]
Not forgetting
The tasks unacheivable
Mountains unscalable
If it's conceivable
But unavailable
Ah

Agony!

[Cinderella's Prince]
Misery!

[Both]
Not to know what you miss

[Cinderella's Prince]
While they lie there for years

[Rapunzel's Prince]
And you cry on their biers

[Both]
What unbearable bliss!

Agony
That can cut like a knife!
Ah, well, back to my wife
