Mocking of Lestat demos in Rocky Horror style. (Property of JtheGoblinKing! Will write my own spoof soon!) If you don't know the song, I'll add a link to the bottom.

To live like this
(By Sir Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Sung by Lestat and Armand in the Lestat musical. Demo version.)

Armand:

'Just look at you!
'Lestat's reply: I do all the time!'
Who do you think you are?
'The Vampire Lestat. Did you not see the script?'
To flaunt our laws with your rash ways,
'Laws? There are laws? Oowe, new things to break!'
To mock our rules with disregard.
'Well, your first rule is worship Armand so...'
Your presence here is poison in our veins.
'Thank you!'
Your human traits sour our belief.
'I didn't realize this counted as a religion.'
Your arrogance should be your shame
'Instead it's my trademark!'

In your Spanish, leather boots,
'That I want.'
Silver buckles on your vest,
'That I want.'
Gold embroidery in your breaches,
'How does he know what's on Lestat's breaches?'
Diamond broach upon your chest.
'That Gabrielle wants.'

We were born The Devil's darkest
And shun new forms of gawdiness.
While you parade among the living
'In Disney World's Electric Main Street Parade!'
We huant the sunken world of death.'
'Warner Brothers studios.'

Lestat:

'Just look at me?
'Look at me! Look at me!'
Well, I say look at you.
'And then back at me again.'
You haunt these walls like half starved rats,
A filthy, tattered, vermin crew.
'You work for Warner Brothers, don't you?'
Where is it written?
Who said to live like this?
'It's in the script. Page thirty four.'
Show me the face of such a fool
Who'd trade this gift for S and P.
'ARMAND!'

What's to fear on hollowed ground?
'A cave in.'
Cold stone angels bound to good?
A crucifix is nothing more,
Just a dead man on two bits of wood.

Your self imposed archaic ways
Are simply lies to bind your will.
Above this wretched crypt you live in
Shine forms of light that cannot kill.
'Now if only he could remember that during the helicopter scene in Interview with the vampire.'

Trust in me,
'Or Armand. Just remember, I'm not the one torturing people.'
There is no need
For anyone to live like this
'You can leave the theatre at any time.'
And not believe
The night holds
More than darkness
And the Stars.
'Lestat's there too!'

Don't fear the world out there
'There are worse things in this theatre.'
Because of who you are.
So come with me and you will see
There is no need to live like this.
No need.'


Armand:

You act so bold,
'He's the star of the snow.'
As if you have the right,
'As I said, he's the star of the show!'
To challange us,
This ancient coven,
While you are new to this cursed life.'

Lestat:

'I bring you proof, you see it with your eyes.
'The glove does fit!'
I've danced within the church of God,
Seen opera sung and still survived.'
'I even survived the awful movie QOTD!'

Armand:

'For one who'd drink his mother's blood
And quests to be some harlophin.'

Lestat:

'I see your words dry in your mouth.
It seems your hold is wearing thin.'
'Enough games, Armand, untie him.'

Armand:

'Beware this smooth tongued libertine,
'Johnny Depp? Where? Where?!'
He'd share with you his grand demise.'
'At the hands of Warner Brothers.'

Lestat:

'His logic crumbling like a corpse,
'Like the script to the New York version of this play.'
No God or monster rules your lives.
'No, just Warner Brothers.'

Trust in me,
There is no need
'To keep changing this play'
For anyone to live like this
And not believe
The night holds more than darkness
And the stars.
Don't fear the world out there
Because of who you are.
So come with me and you will see
There is no need to live like this.
'Just tell Warner Borthers you're tired of it.'
No need.

Trust in me,
There is no need
For anyone to live like this
And not believe
The night holds more than darkness
And the stars.
Don't fear the world out there
Because of who you are.
So come with me and you will see
There is no need to live like this.
No need.'
