Prologue

Tom's POV

Emma and I were finally here. The place was busy and full of people. Emma found our seats and she set her stuff down while I went for a bit of a walk around before the show started.

Lindsay's POV

The girls and I were getting ready for our fifth performance, and soon w are called to get on stage and we are ready.

"Baby, can't you see I'm calling?

A guy like you should wear a warning

It's dangerous, I'm falling

There's no escape, I can't wait

I need a hit, baby, give me it

You're dangerous, I'm lovin' it

Too high, can't come down

Losing my head, spinnin' 'round and 'round

Do you feel me now?

With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride

You're toxic, I'm slippin' under

With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't you know that you're toxic?

And I love what you do

Don't you know that you're toxic?

It's getting late to give you up

I took a sip from my devil's cup

Slowly, it's taking over me

Too high, can't come down

It's in the air and it's all around

Can you feel me now?

With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride

You're toxic, I'm slippin' under

With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't you know that you're toxic?

And I love what you do

Don't you know that you're toxic?

Don't you know that you're toxic?

Taste of your lips, I'm on a ride

You're toxic, I'm slippin' under

With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't you know that you're toxic?

With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride

You're toxic, I'm slippin' under (toxic)

With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't you know that you're toxic?

Intoxicate me now, with your lovin' now

I think I'm ready now, I think I'm ready now

Intoxicate me now, with your lovin' now

I think I'm ready now"

"You've been acting awful tough lately

Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately

But inside you're just a little baby, oh

It's okay to say you've got a weak spot

You don't always have to be on top

Better to be hated than loved, loved, loved

For what you're not

You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable

You are not a robot

You're lovable, so lovable

But you're just troubled

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

You've been hanging with the unloved kids

Who you never really liked and you never trusted

But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins

Never committing to anything

You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings

Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing

I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable

I am not a robot

You're lovable, so lovable

But you're just troubled

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

Can you teach me how to feel real?

Can you turn my power off?

I let the drum beat drop

Guess what? I am not a robot

Guess what? I am not a robot

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot"

"Boys call you crazy (What's up, sexy?)

"I bust the windows out ya car

And no it didn't mend my broken heart

I'll probably always have these ugly scars

But right now I don't care about that part

I bust the windows out ya car

After I saw you laying next to her

I didn't wanna but I took my turn

I'm glad I did it cause you had to learn...

I must admit it helped a little bit

To think of how you'd feel when you saw it

I didn't know that I had that much strength

But I'm glad you see what happens when...

You see you can't just play with people's feelings

Tell them you love them and don't mean it

You'll probably say that it was juvenile

But I think that I deserve to smile

I bust the windows out ya car

You know I did it cause I left my mark

Wrote my initials with the crowbar

And then I drove off into the dawn

I bust the windows out ya car

You should feel lucky that that's all I did

After five whole years of this bulls___

Gave you all of me and you played with it

Oooh ahh...

I must admit it helped a little bit

To think of how you'd feel when you saw it

I didn't know that I had that much strength

But I'm glad you see what happens when...

You see you can't just play with people's feelings

Tell them you love them and don't mean it

You'll probably say that it was juvenile

But I think that I deserve to smile

But it don't compare to my broken heart

You could never feel how I felt that day

Until it happens baby you don't know pain

Oooh Yeah I did it (Yeah I did it)

You should know it (You should know it)

I ain't sorry (I ain't sorry)

You deserved it (You deserved it)

After what you did to me (After what you did)

You deserved it (You deserved it)

I ain't sorry (I ain't sorry) no no oh... (I ain't sorry)

You broke my heart

So I broke ya car

You caused me pain (You caused me pain)

So I did the same

Even though all that you did to me was much worse

I had to do something to make you hurt yeah

Oh but why am I still cryin'?

Why am I the one whose still cryin'?

Oh oh you really hurt me baby

You really you really hurt me baby

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Now watch me yule

Now watch me yule

I bust the windows out ya car..."

It was now our break so we went backstage.

Tom's POV

Emma and I got up out of our seats to head backstage and meet each of the members. The girls introduced themselves and I finally got the name of the girl in green. Her name was Lindsay Styles. She was very beautiful. "I have seen some of your films, Mr. Hiddleston and I consider myself somewhat of a fan." Lindsay had spoken to him right before she took a drink of her water.

"Thank you, it's so very nice to meet you."

Emma became friends with every one of the members and exchanged phone numbers before we had to go back to our seats. They were pretty good and I was upset to not have asked Lindsay for her number, but I figured I could just ask Emma after the performance.

It wasn't long, after we arrived back at our seats, before the girls got back up on stage to finish their performance.

Lindsay's POV

"Oh baby baby, Oh baby baby

Oh baby baby, how was I supposed to know

That something wasn't right here

Oh baby baby, I shouldn't have let you go

And now you're out of sight, yeah

Show me how you want it to be

Tell me baby 'cause I need to know now

Oh, because

My loneliness is killing me (and I)

I must confess I still believe (still believe)

When I'm not with you I lose my mind

Give me a sign

Hit me baby one more time!

Oh baby, baby, the reason I breathe is you

Boy you've got me blinded

Oh pretty baby, there's nothing that I wouldn't do

It's not the way I planned it

Show me how you want it to be

Tell me baby 'cause I need to know now

Oh, because

My loneliness is killing me (and I)

I must confess I still believe (still believe)

When I'm not with you I lose my mind

Give me a sign,

Hit me baby one more time!

Oh baby baby, how was I supposed to know?

Oh pretty baby, I shouldn't have let you go

I must confess that my loneliness

Is killing me now

Don't you know I still believe

That you will be here

And give me a sign

Hit me baby one more time!

My loneliness is killing me (and I)

I must confess I still believe (still believe)

When I'm not with you I lose my mind

Give me a sign,

Hit me baby one more time!

I must confess (my loneliness)

That my loneliness (is killing me)

Is killing me now (I must confess)

Don't you know I still believe (still believe)

Pop! Six! Squish! Uh uh, Cicero, Lipschitz!

You know how people have these little habits

That get you down like Bernie

Bernie like to chew gum, no, not chew, Pop

So, I came home this one day and I am really irritated and I'm looking for a little bit of sympathy And there's Bernie

Laying on the couch drinking a beer and chewing, no, not chewing, popping

So, I said to him, I said

You pop that gum one more time..." and he did

So I took the shotgun off the wall

And I fired two warning shots...into his head

He had it coming, he had it coming

He had it coming, he had it coming

He only had himself to blame

If you'd have been there

If you'd have heard it

I betcha you would have done the same

I met Ezekiel Young from Salt Lake city about two years ago

And he told me he was single and we hit it off right away

So, we started living together

He'd go to work, he'd come home, I'd fix him a drink, we'd have dinner.

And then I found out. "Single," he told me? Single, my a__. Not only was he married, oh, no, he had six wives. One of those mormons, you know? So that night, when he came home from work, I fixed him his drink, as usual. You know some guys just can't hold their arsenic

He had it coming (pop, six, squish)

He had it coming (uh-uh, Cicero, Lipschitz)

He took a flower in its prime (pop, six, squish, uh-uh, Cicero, Lipschitz)

And then he used it (pop)

And he abused it (six)

It was a murder but not a crime (squish, uh-uh, Cicero, Lipschitz)

Now, I'm standing in the kitchen, carving up the chicken for dinner, minding my own business. In storms my husband Wilbur in jealous rage. "You been screwing the milkman," he says. He was crazy and he kept on screaming "You been screwing the milkman." And then he ran into my knife. He ran into my knife ten times

If you'd have been there

If you'd have seen it

I betcha you would have done the same!

Mit keresek, én itt? Azt mondják

Hogy a híres lakóm lefogta a férjemet én meg

Lecsaptam a fejét

De nem igaz, én ártatlan vagyok

Nem tudom, miért mondja

Uncle Sam, hogy én tettem, probáltam

A rendőrségen megmagyarázni, de nem értették meg

Yeah, but did you do it?

Uh-uh, not guilty!

He had it coming

He had it coming

My sister Veronica and I had this double act, and my husband Charlie traveled around with us. Now, for the last number in our act we did this twenty acrobatic tricks in a row. One, two, three, four, five, splits, spread eagles, back flips, flip flops, one right after the other. So this one night before the show, we're down at the hotel Cicero, the three of us boozing, having a few laughs. And we run out of ice so I went out to get some. I come back, open the door, and there's Veronica and Charlie, doing number seventeen: the spread eagle! Well, I was in such a state of shock I completely blacked out, I can't remember a thing. It wasn't until later, when I was washing the blood off my hands, I even knew they were dead

They had it coming

I loved Al Lipschitz more than I can possibly say. He was a real artistic guy, sensitive, a painter. But he was always trying to find himself. He'd go out every night looking for himself, and on the way he found Ruth, Gladys, Rosemary and Irving. I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences. He saw himself as alive... and I saw him dead

The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum

They had it coming (they had it coming)
