Never Miss My Mark
[VIVIKA]
I wrote a fake prescription for a medication called atropine
Once in your blood it stops your heart and then it just fades away
Goes undetected when it’s injected
A proper ending to his awful play

I took a throwing dart and dipped it in that bottle of atropine
When I arrived I had the clown horn and the dart in my purse
And in the blackout I took it back out
And now poor Varthur’s gonna need a hearse

The throw was a cinch
A walk in the park
The end of the game for our theater’s patriarch
I can hit both center stage
And a bull’s eye in the dark
Because I, I never miss my mark

[GEORGE]
Remember when you wrote a fake prescription for the drug sugammadex
Once in your blood it speeds the heart until you have an attack
And now I grabbed him
And then I stabbed him
Right in his neck just as the room went black

My show is a hit
Right out of the park
With cool spectacle and compelling character arc
Plus the score is full of songs
That'll rival meadowlark
Because I, I never miss my mark
[BOTH]
He was using me
He wasn’t choosing me
Confusing me with all his empty promises
He was lies and chintz
He was no Hal Prince
Now providence has made us both accomplices

My show was a hit
My throw was a hit
No shot in the dark
The end of the game for our theater’s patriarch
Even though my future now
Is looking bleak and stark
I tell you I
I tell you I
I tell you I
I tell you I
I will never
Miss my mark
