The Sun and Moon

[Lyric Note]
Cassius opens an attic armoire and out jumps Pollock! They study one another's identical features. Pollock, the more disheveled looking, watches carefully with two unusually large and blackened eyes

[Pollock]
You're like the Sun and I'm the Moon
A mere reflection of your magnitude
A replicate cast across the room
A remedy for your solitude
'Cause you are my Sun and I'm your Moon
I am the one without a name
You are the glue, I'm bonded to you

I can see through you like a two-way mirror
No man's tried the trials you've been through
I see behind your eyes, a horror that haunts you—

[Cassius and Pollock]
Hanging over your shoulder
Hanging over your shoulder

[Pollock]
Who's that misfit sitting in the corner?
The things that kid did are cloistered like a coma

[Cassius and Pollock]
Hanging over your shoulder
Hanging over your shoulder

[Pollock]
My flesh and blood, it can't be true
You're everything I could never be
I was no one, now I'm two
You're actually here acknowledging that I am the 'we' that makes us complete

It sure has been a leper's life living in these shadows—
[reconsiders, to himself]
No, that's not quite right—
[continues]
It was an illustrious life 'til you eclipsed my luster
Who was there when you dined with Dionysus?
Who do you think that was, nourishing your hubris?

[Cassius and Pollock]
Hanging over your shoulder
Hanging over your shoulder

[Pollock]
Who was there, engorged in Gommorah
Who do you think that was dancing in the sulfur?

[Cassius and Pollock]
Hanging over your shoulder

[Pollock]
I was hanging over your shoulder, singing in your ears:
You're like the Sun and I'm the Moon
You're like the Sun and I'm the Moon
[fiendishly, to himself]
Well maybe, I'm like the Sun and you're the Moon!
[resigned]
Nah, you're like the Sun and I'm the Moon
