In the Arms
MAL (spoken):
Something happened Alice. Something weird and wonderful.
(sung)
I hear a music I have never heard before
I feel the waves though I am nowhere near
The shore
In the arms of a squid
I touched my secret longing
All embraced as I faced
A world both warm and new
In the charms of a squid
I lost my inhibitions
And found my love
For you

And in the arms
Of a squid
All tentacled and squishy
Rearranged
I was changed
By something sort of fishy
Then at once
As I hugged
A thousand cups of suction
I found my love for you
Who've'd of guessed that I'd discover God
Cuddling with a two-ton cephalopod!

ALICE:
In the arms of a squid

MAL:
I was saved
And born anew

ALICE:
She saw your soul

MAL:
She saw my soul

ALICE:
She took control

MAL:
She took control
And finally I can stomach sushi
But, my dear

ALICE:
Oh Mal-
MAL:
Now it's clear

ALICE:
Big Mal

BOTH:
My love for you is endless

MAL:
In the arms

ALICE:
In the arms

MAL:
Of a squid

ALICE:
Of a squid

MAL:
I was dared

ALICE:
You were dared
MAL:
And I did!

ALICE:
God, you did!

BOTH:
And I found my love for you!
