Parody of Going Through the Motions fr. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

[Drassil]

Rothberry the Apothecary has fallen on hard times. Based on Going Through The Motions from the musical episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Once More with Feeling. Official audio here.

[ROTHBERRY:]

Every single day: apothecary

I go out and strike a deal

Still it always feels so strange and scary

Nothing here is right, nothing here is real

I've been in a haze of trading days just hoping no one says

That I've been going through the potions

Fortunes getting worse

Nothing seems to penetrate my... purse

I was always tall and kind, not noxious

Now I find I'm wavering

Come up to my stall, you'll find this stock just

Isn't worth a thing

[MOTLEY:]

You'll be bust by Spring

[ROTHBERRY:]

...Thanks for noticing

[SYLVESTER HANDS, SIDRISS, MOTLEY:]

He did pretty well with charms and spells

But lately we can tell

That he's just going through the potions

Flaking out somehow

[HANDS, after drinking 'Pain Medicine' from the stall:]

He's not even half the bloke he... ow!

[ROTHBERRY:]

Will I stay this way forever?

Sleepwalk through my life's endeavour?

[HONESTY BARTRAM:]

Come and work for me...

[ROTHBERRY:]

                ...Whatever

I don't want to be

Going through the potions

Too few coins to thrive

[BARTRAM:]

He can't even see

I'll make him work for free

[ROTHBERRY:]

And I just want to be... alive.

i'm curious how the songwriters here would feel if snowcat and i tried to put these wonderful lyrics into a knightmare album???

[Emii]

Hahaha! I'd have no problem!

[Drassil]

No objections from me - I'd be flattered! Other people have expressed an interest in recording some of the songs as well. Please keep us posted (literally I suppose) on any developments, Snowcat and Sue!

[Madmogsue]
