[Henry]
My town of vulture rock was quiet
I was young, my science was my favorite thing
Since I was shy and awkward
And cute guys I just could not talk to
I got so confused, 'til Evan came along
Alchemy is quite my thing
When solubles are transforming
And matter unmade reshaping
And souls themselves transmutating
I dream of potions
Of evolution
To lead mankind along
The Hellmouth just appeared one day
A rift in time a tear in space
And monsters, from a hellish place
Came out to eat and kill and chase
And doom arrived
We prepared to die
'Til an idea crossed my mind
A potion I had never made
Too dangerous
But thought could change
A man in strange divergent ways
Our last hope of salvation lay
With death coming
I made some
And I drank it down that day
[Henry, spoken]
I don't understand, nothing happened
[Evan, spoken]
Well at least you tried Henry. Its all right. If this is the end, maybe- maybe we should... one last time..
[Henry]
Yes, I'd like that. Mmmm, that feels good
[Evan]
Well you're certainly getting aroused... Oh! dear god.. Henry... Whats happening to you?
[Henry]
I... I feel.... like something inside is coming out.... rrraaaaarrRRRGH!
[Hurl, sung]
I'm the wild man
The party's always where I am, yeah
I'm the scream hurled by that drunk girl, yeah
I'm the sodomite
Who makes everything all right, yeah
I'm the mad howl of the night out, yeah
[Henry, spoken]
Where am I?
[Old Coot, spoken]
You're in Rattlesnake Springs, up above the Whiskeybath Saloon
[Henry]
But that's 70 miles.. wait, why are all these naked men passed out all over the place?
[Old Coot]
Oh, you missed quite a shindig last night, it was all willies and alcohol around here
[Henry, sung]
My alter ego, Hurl indeed
Could kill the foul invading beasts
But he was wild, and wasn't me
He drank and screwed and fought and screamed
A wild Id
Who I hated
At war with my own self
After he'd fought the beasts attacks
He wouldn't want to calm, change back
He'd go on benders that would last for days
Of drinking, sex and laughs
He gorged in bed
With scores of men
For miles and miles around
The thing that makes me change to him
Arousal, an erection
When desire rises, springs within
The transformation happens
And I cave, change
And he raves and shames
And I cannot keep him down
And so I try to keep somehow him from ever coming out
I drink elixirs to renounce and keep my strange libido down
I vow now
I must live without
Becoming ever more aroused
[Townsman]
Henry! There's a new monster attacking the town! We need Hurl! You got to get it up!
[Townswoman]
He can't get it up? But if he doesn't change, we'll all die!
[Townsman]
Listen up everyone, we've all got to pitch in to give Henry an erection!
[Townspeople]
Get it up, Henry, get it up!
[Townsman]
Alright, get the men's volleyball team over here!
Get your clothes off and start spanking each other playfully!
You, cowboys... oh lordy jesus
You don't need no instructions..
Bring me the college boy
Yeah, give me the shy freshman
Just pretend you've never seen one before
You just gotta reach out and touch- whoa!
Come on Henry, rise and shine, boy!
[Hurl, sung]
I'm the wild man
The party's always where I am, yeah
I'm the scream hurled by that drunk girl, yeah
I'm the sodomite
Who makes everything all right, yeah
I'm the mad howl of the night out, yeah
I'm the craving and the action
I'm the strive for satisfaction
I'm the will to live, the passion
That will make you dance and scream
I'm the hunger, thirst for more
That keeps the species moving forward
I'm the blood lust and the gorge
That survival itself needs
I'm the fire in the stove
Of evolution, don't you know
The species clawing upwards goes
Because I'm there to scream and poke
When death is at your feet
I'm the beast you better feed
My greed exceeding to extremes
Is the rebel scream you need
I'm the wild man
The party's always where I am, yeah
I'm the scream hurled by that drunk girl, yeah
I'm the sodomite
Who makes everything all right, yeah
I'm the mad howl of the night out, yeah
[Henry, sung]
Evan who I loved
He broke my heart when we broke up
For Hurl filled him with disgust
And we couldn't even touch
For if we held, I might arise
And change before his eyes
And Hurl would mock him, and he'd cry
And so he left me one lone night
The town looked at me strange
A mix of fear and awe and shame
For Hurl's wanton and lewd ways
I felt their constant furtive gaze
Locked inside my house I'd stay there
Cowering, and I'd hide
While Hurl rattled deep inside
The carnal cages of my mind
A two week bender gone astray
I woke up in a strange new place
Here in lost hallow where I stayed
And keep my urges pressed away
I work my alchemy
In a dank basement 'neath the street
Where somewhere deep inside he sings
And waits 'til next he's free
