Suffering

[SIRENS]
Penelope (Ah, ooh)
Penelope (Ah, ooh)

[PENELOPE]
Don't you miss me?

[ODYSSEUS]
More than you know

[PENELOPE]
Then jump in the water and kiss me

[ODYSSEUS]
Penelope, I've told you this before
You know I'm afraid of the water

[PENELOPE]
I'll make sure that you are safe and sound
Come play with me and our daughter
And let's watch our love leave the ground

[ODYSSEUS & PENELOPE]
Oh, I would
But I'd be suffering trying to float the whole time
I would take the suffering from you
Ooh, as good as that sounds, right here I'm just fine
I can take the suffering from you
You know that I prefer my feet on the ground
I will take the suffering from you
Fine, but only if you answer a question or two

[PENELOPE, spoken]
Of course

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Okay, so let's say I was on the run or hiding
From, I don't know, Poseidon
And let's say he blocked the way home
With giant waves and giant storms

[PENELOPE, spoken]
Oh, no

[ODYSSEUS]
How am I to evade him?
How am I to get home?
Which route should I take?
Where am I supposed to go?

[PENELOPE]
He will chase you high and low
So find a place he'd never go
The one way you'll get home
Is sailing where he's scared to roam, oh
It's through the lair of Scylla

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
No

[PENELOPE]
This is your only way home
The lair of Scylla

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
But Scylla has a cost

[PENELOPE]
Well, you asked and now you know

[PENELOPE, spoken]
Now jump in the water

[ODYSSEUS & PENELOPE]
Penelope, why?
You know I'm too shy and terrified
I would take the suffering from you
Ooh, for you I would die
But can't you let me stay dry?
I can take the suffering from you
You should come onto the ship
We'll jump at the same time
I will take the suffering from you
Ah, the things I do for you
