Micah and Alyssa
Seymour and Audrey 2.0
It started as a Greek Tragedy
in Mushnik’s Flower Shop
on Skid Row, NY.
He was an orphan
fated to push a broom
fall in with a girl
and feed her to a carnivorous flower
She was bleached-blonde
fated to date bullies
fall in love with a janitor
and ask him to feed her to a carnivorous flower
And the neighborhood girls
were the Greek Chorus
crying out to all who would hear
to please, never feed the flowers — especially the carnivorous one!
Micah:
Suddenly Micah
Is standing beside you
You don’t need no makeup
You don’t have to pretend
Suddenly Micah
Is here to provide you
Sweet understanding.
Micah’s your friend
Alyssa:
Suddenly Micah
Is standing beside me
He don’t give me orders,
He don’t condescend
Suddenly Micah
Is here to provide me
Sweet understanding,
Micah’s my friend.
Micah and Alyssa:

M: (He purified you)
A: Suddenly Micah
M: (Suddenly Micah)
A: Showed me i can

The girl that’s inside me
Micah’s my friend
