Our cast of four, usually dressed in sleepwear at this point in the musical, reflects on how their lives have changed around Marvin’s story.
[ALL]
Another sleepless night at home in bed
Another silent dawn
You try to think of things you might have said
You try to carry on
[SWEETHEART]
I wash my face
Then drink beer
Then I weep
Say a prayer and induce
Insincere self-abuse
Till I'm fast asleep
[GOLDBERG]
I've done too much talking
That was I don't listen
That was I can't hear what you might say
Oh, look world what I've found
My eyes are grey and the world is round
[MARVIN]
He never stops
This Whizzer Brown
I need my sleep
Fives times a night
He'll request it;
I wanna rest it
(It will keep)
All he wants - what he wants
Is a body that won't fuss
So we sleep in a bed
Too big for two people
It's big for two people
But this bed is bigger than both of us
[LADIES]
Bored
Bored
[MARVIN]
I'm feeling hot
He'll close his eyes
And then surprise:
I'll be awake and performing
He'll wanna sleep
But asks for more
To put up
With a guy
Like myself
Must be a bore
But he sleeps in this bed
With me, a survivor
I'm feeling alive-er
Than I've ever felt in my life before

Another sleepless night at home in bed
The sun will fly and does
Another book you thought was best unread
Has proved indeed it was
[WIFE]
I break a cup
[GOLDBERG]
Scan a poem
[SWEETHEART]
Then I eat
[MARVIN]
Shower up
[SWEETHEART]
Strike a pose
[GOLDBERG]
Count my feet
[WIFE]
Count my toes
[MARVIN]
Till I'm fast asleep
[ALL]
Fast asleep
[SWEETHEART]
Asleep
[WIFE]
No one here to kick in bed
No one here to rest my head against
I am so alone
In the middle of the night
I am so alone
[SWEETHEART]
I am so alone
[GOLDBERG]
I am so alone
[WIFE]
I am so alone
[ALL]
In the middle of the night
