Original Broadway Cast of Beetlejuice
I Am Very Good At Running Cults
[OTHO]
My first cult was crazy
Started in the 1980s
Just a bunch of local ladies and moi
We took acid every day
We had, like, sixty-seven babies
Yeah, and all of them conceived in the spa
To start a new religion
It takes a million small decisions
[ACOLYTES]
Who's gonna do the grocery runs?
Who's gonna strip and clean the guns?
Who's gonna purchase all the beds?
Who's gonna look out for the feds?
[OTHO]
I had an ever-growing hunger
(Hunger)
I wanted something bigger than that bunker
(Bunker)
So I gathered all my handmaids
Made 'em drink the kool-aid
Left their bodies rotting in a vault
'Cause I, I can not die
Yes, I survived
You wanna know why?
'Cause I am very good at running cults
I like to prey on vulnerable adults
I am very good at running cults!
[ACOLYTES]
He's got a masterplan
Also a mini-van
Nightly we rock out to Steely Dan
[OTHO]
Watch the films of Eric Stoltz
[ACOLYTES]
He's really good at running cults
He's very good at running cults
Yeah, he's killing it
He's killing it...
[OTHO]
I've had many cults since then
But every one came to an end
Each time I'd kill them, start again, just move on
There were stabbings, executions
Saran gas, electrocutions
Yeah, I did it all wearing a sarong
Now I, I'll never die
I'll live eternal on a server in the sky
'Cause look, I made a box, baby
Copy your consciousness across, baby
And live forever in a box, baby, baby, baby, baby
[ACOLYTES]
We are gonna all live forever
Living in a box
Stack up all the boxes together
Exploring space and time at our leisure
Living in a box
A patent-pending box
For forever
[OTHO]
I am a charismatic man
I've got salvation in my pants
I found a lot of crazy answers
I am good at cults
[ACOLYTES]
He's really good at running cults
He's very good at running cults
Yeah he's killing it
He's killing it
[OTHO]

(Oh oh)

(Oh oh)

[ACOLYTES]
He's really good at running cults

He's very good at running cults
(Box!)
Yeah he's killing it
He's killing it
