The Movin’ Uptown Blues

(GOLD and GOLDBERG are sitting at the kitchen table, in partial states of undress, very drunk and very lost)

[GOLD]
...What do you remember?

[GOLDBERG]
I remember walking through the front door and saying, Great party... and the next thing I know... ich stehte in mein gatkes... und mein tookas stecht ahd dreussen... and I can't find my pants

Can't find my shoes
Ain't seein' straight

[GOLD]
Don't know the time
But I think it's too late

[GOLDBERG]
Don't know how I got here
Don't know where I am

[GOLD]
Forgot my name

[GOLDBERG]
Must be the booze

[GOLD]
If I hadta name what I feel right now
I'd call it
"The Movin' Uptown Blues."

[GOLDBERG]
We did too much too soon
So what?
Everybody does
The city's full of guys like us
Forgetting who they was

[GOLD]
I think I ran a deli once

[GOLDBERG]
I think I had a wife

[GOLD AND GOLDBERG]
Walked in the door tonight
And wham, I'm
Livin' someone else's life!

Don't got a past
Don't got a name
Can't go back to from wherever I came

Whole room's spinnin' crazy
Someone make it stop

(DOLORES appears)

[DOLORES]
A promise made in the throes of passion is a promise that can never be broken. Violate that promise, and terrible things can happen. Hell hath no fury as a woman... performer... legend scorned

(She exits)

[GOLDBERG]
I need my pants

[GOLD]
I need my shoes

Tomorrow, we'll be sober men

[GOLDBERG]
And jewel-less Jews

[GOLD]
Gold and Golden?

[GOLDBERG]
Gold and Golden

[GOLD AND GOLDBERG]
Tonight we're lost in
"The Movin' Uptown Blues."
