[INTRO] Am [JA'FAR]
I've Amgone against my Sultan, The highest act of treason But FI had good intentions
I did it for a reason.
They'll Gkill me if I'm lucky They'll torture me if not What Emade me think that I could
Get away with such a plot?
It's Fnot too late to bring it back PerEhaps I'll be forgiven But Amif my crime can help improve
The world we all must live in
Am DmI not bound by Gduty To the Fpeople Gof Ethis Amnation? FHow does the Golden Rule apply in Esuch a situFation?
As a Amcitizen I think I would be grateful for the aid But Fif I were the Sultan, I should hate to be betrayed WhichDmever road I take'll only encourage someone's wrath 'Til Bbnow I've always traveled down the straight and narrow path TempDmtation may have Gbeckoned, but I Calways have reFsisted,
But Ewhich way do I Fturn When the Dmroad's become so... so...
[VAMP] Am Am/E [URSULA, spoken] Twisted? [JA'FAR, spoken] Who are you? [URSULA, spoken] A fellow traveler down a twisted path. [JA'FAR, spoken]: I know you from Sherrezade's stories! [URSULA, spoken]: Uh-uh-uh. You think you know me, as others think they know you, but there are two sides to every story. [URSULA]
I Amused to be the Am/Eruler of the Amocean Am/E I was beAmnevolent and Am/Ealways kept my B7word But my Ebrother held the antiquated Amnotion That Fwomen should be Bseen and never Eheard So he deAmthroned me and disBowned me and on Etop of that reAmzoned me To the Dmoutskirts of the C#kingdom in a Cmcave F Took my Dmscepter and my Ecrown Though I Amtried to take him Fdown The truth and B7I now share a watery Egrave The Fstory lingers on But the Eversion that is E7drawn is Amtwisted Am/E
Am(G#Am/E plucked in bass transition)
[SCAR, spoken] A pain I know all too well
The Ampride had never seen a more proCmgressive king than me Both Amlion and hyena lived in Dmperfect harmony I Cbrought an end to what had been a Bsenseless age-old Bmfeud I Emwas prepared for anything exEcept for what ensued My Ambrother ate my heirs - my precious Cmcubs! - and stole my throne ReAmturned to segregation and the Cmhateful ways we'd known Though I'd Fadvocate for Eunity, I Amalways was deBnounced So when I Fsaw an opportunity to Eright the wrong - I EpouAmncedE! The pride Fcame before my fall in a Efate that one might E7call - Well, Amtwisted Am/E
[VAMP] Am Am/E (spoken) They weren't ready for my ideas [URSULA, spoken] No, they didn't hate you because of your ideas. They hated you because of that evil-looking scar on your face. Fortune favors the beautiful. [GASTON, spoken]
Fmaj7Au contraire! My only crime was Emlove. In town there was only she who was as Fmaj7beautiful as me - on the inside. But thenEm, tragedy struck. She was taken hostage in a castle filled withF demonic furniture. DmSo I did what anyone would do and I organBbized a rescue mission. But how Amwas I to know that she had fallen in love Fmaj7with her captor? To Amme, that doesn't seem entirely healthy, eFspecially since he's a wolfE-bear thing.
A buffalo monster. In a cape.
But the heart Fwants what it wants - (sung) And Esometimes what it E7wants is AmtwisAm/Eted
[VAMP]
Am[VIAm/ELLAINS (Sung, underneath the following spoken lines)] Twisted, Twisted...
[URSULA, spoken] I only wanted to reclaim what was mine! [SCAR, spoken] I only wished for equal rights for all! [GASTON, spoken] I only wished to save her! [MALEFICENT, spoken] I only wished to be invited to the party [SCAR, spoken] I only wished to improve relations between the races [CAPTAIN HOOK, spoken] I only wished to teach the boy responsibility [URSULA, spoken] I only wished to give the people a voice [CAPTAIN HOOK, spoken] So he wouldn't end up like me [GASTON, spoken] I only wished to love her [URSULA, spoken] To help the miserable, lonely, and depressed [MALEFICENT, spoken] To be included [SCAR, spoken] To live in harmony! [MALEFICENT, spoken] For once! [CAPTAIN HOOK, spoken] I never knew my father! [ALL, Frenzied] I only wished! I only wished! I only wished!..... [Repeat, until -]
I only wished! I only Bwished! I only Gwished! I only Fwished! [CRUELA DE VIL, spoken] I only Ewished to have a coat made out of puppies!
[ALL] (Cluttered speech, ad lib) [MALEFICENT, spoken] Just leave! [JA'FAR, spoken] Why would you do that? [SCAR, spoken] That's insane! [CAPTAIN HOOK, spoken] Get out! [URSULA, spoken] It's an unfortunate situation, but you do have a choice. [JA'FAR]
What reAmmains of a man when that man is dead and gone? Only Fmemories and stories of his deeds will linger on But Gif a man's accomplishments aren't in the tale they tell Are the Fdeeds that go unheralded his Dmlegacy as well?
If a Fwar breaks out toEmorrow, we'll Amall have hell to pay Why proAmtect my reputation? I'm a Fdead man either Amway
How Fwill they tell my Cstory? How Fwill they tell my tale? Will Bbanybody Aeven Dmcare? C
The Gquestion then is whether 'tis Bbnobler in the mind To be well-Fliked but ineffectual, or moral but maligned?
I'll Dnever be a hero who all the Ccitizens adore But Gif I hide to save my life, what Fhas my life been Afor? What Fhas my life been Afor?
The Amroad ahead may twist But FI will never swerve I'll Dmgive them all the unsung antiBbhero they deserve I've Fnothing left to lose So the Eonly path to choose is Amtwisted Dm
Let them Ftwist my words, let the people scorn me Who cares if no one will ever Dmourn me? Let them Cbury the side of the E7story they'll never Amlearn Dm Let the truth be Ftwisted Bb Let my life be Amtwisted D I'll be Bbtwisted, Bb7it's Emmy Amturn!
