The Yellow House
[VINCENT, spoken]
Ahem, my dear Theo
(sung)
Thank you very much for your fifty franc note
I spent the last on pastels
I'll probably buy some oils
Or maybe fix my teeth
I promise that I'll use it well
Has your cold finally gone away? What about that pain?
If you come and visit for a day, I know you'll conquer that migraine
In this letter is a render hastily drawn
A picture of this perfect yellow house in Arles
I found all on my own
A place that I can finally call home
There's so much to say
Where to begin?
(spoken)
Anything you want to add, Gauguin?
[GAUGUIN, spoken]
No. My dear Toulouse
(sung)
This is great
Has my judgement always been this poor?
[VINCENT]
This is great
[GAUGUIN]
Can you remind me what I'm even here for
He's amusingly confusing me
The torment never ends
[VINCENT]
He's a brilliant artist and an even greater friend
[GAUGUIN]
Now I'm tired all the time
[VINCENT, spoken]
I'm wide awake
Hey Paul?
Catch the turpentine!
[GAUGUIN, spoken]
I've made a huge mistake
[VINCENT]
Every day I'm getting better
[GAUGUIN, spoken]
Save me once you get this letter
[THEO, spoken]
My dear Vincent
(sung)
This is great
My distant brother
As it was always meant to be
[VINCENT & THEO]
Let's not debate as we both recover
[GAUGUIN]
I came here to be an artist, not a bureaucrat
You can charge a battery with our backhanded flattery
There's nowhere in this house to hide from Vincent's verbal cyanide
(spoken)
I swear he's a maniac!
Don't tell Theo I said that
(sung)
My plan is working, though my reward is overdue
Patience, Paul, you've got to see it through
For now I'll play along
[VINCENT, spoken]
Nothing could go wrong
[THEO]
Soon this will pay off
[GAUGUIN]
Soon this will pay off
[VINCENT]
Soon this will pay off
[THEO, GAUGUIN & VINCENT]
Soon this will pay off
This is great
A fine arrangement
As it was always meant to be
[THEO]
You innovate
[VINCENT & GAUGUIN, spoken]
You pay our rent
[THEO]
Take on the world
[THEO, GAUGUIN & VINCENT]
Together
Ever yours
[VINCENT]
Vincent

P.S
Did you receive my canvases
Watch out for the wet paint
Oh, P.P.S
If it isn't too much trouble
Send another fifty franc
