The Word of Your Body (Reprise)
HANSCHEN
Come, cream away the bliss
Travel the world within my lips
Fondle the pearl of your distant dreams
Haven't you heard the word of your body?
O, you're gonna be wounded
O, you're gonna be my wound
O, you're gonna bruise too
O, I'm gonna be your bruise
ERNST (Spoken)
Oh God…
HANSCHEN (Spoken)
I know. When we look back, thirty years from now,
Tonight will seem unbelievably beautiful
ERNST (Spoken)
And…in the meantime?
HANSCHEN (Spoken)
Why not?
ERNST (Spoken)
On my way here this afternoon, I thought perhaps, we'd only talk
HANSCHEN (Spoken)
So, are you sorry we…?
ERNST (Spoken)
Oh no. I love you Hanschen, as I have never loved anyone.
HANSCHEN (Spoken)
And so you should.
ERNST
O, I'm gonna be wounded
O, I'm gonna be your wound
BOTH
O, I'm gonna bruise you
O, you're gonna be my bruise
ALL
O, you're gonna be wounded
O, I'm gonna be your wound
O, you're gonna bruise too
O, I'm gonna be your bruise
