Songs from the Black Hole, draft 2

This is a transcription of the 2nd draft of the aborted concept album Songs from the Black Hole, as it is presented in the book The Pinkerton Diaries. It's placement in the book (which is largely in chronological order) suggests that it was written in late February or early March of 1995. It is unknown the degree to which the pages are presented in story order (only some of the pages are numbered) or if the entirety of the draft is represented in the book. Separate pages are denoted by a horizontal line.

 	I just can't help myself 	
 	I want you and no one else 	
 	So why isn't that enough for you? 	
==Tragic Girl==
I want you so bad
Your touch is magic
I love you so much
You sad, sad girl
You're just killin' yourself
and I can't be a partner to that
You dear, dear, girl
Vulnerable helpless soul
You're lost to me
You're so beautiful
When you're drunk and pukin'
I want to care for you
You dear lost soul
lipstick smeared across your face
your breath is barf
I've got to let you go
But you're a 1000 times alive
a 1000 times the girl
You're just killing yourself
and I can't go with you
I can't tie(?) myself to that
I have to let you go
and watch you sink before my eyes
I can't bring myself to say the words
but you know... you know
You're falling apart before my eyes
I can't go on with you
You're a tragic girl
You lead a tragic life (I'm your sober boy)
I'm just meant to be
You're latest tragedy
Goodbye tragic girl
goodbye tragic life
I need to be alone
and live inside myself
You make me want to cry
You make me want to run
to or away from
That I never know
You're so beautiful when you're dying
I just can't do it
===Things that seem fishy===
baby needs more
Dondo needs more

 	sweet child of mine 	"the 1st child born in space"
 	Her blood's my blood 	
 	Her eyes, my eyes 	
 	I can't believe

Jonas: 	 	What's...
Wuan: 	Now we're finally landing 	so damn important that you
and Dondó 	M1's started scanning 	feel that it's necessary to
 	for a possible source 	interrupt me in
 	of the distress call we received	my pod
 	Now! We're finally landing 	
 	Now! We're finally landing 	
 	Get your stuff together 	
 	Cuz now we're finally gonna land

M1: 	Prepare for landing 	
-----
Jonas:	This is beginning to hurt 	
 	This is beginning to be serious 	
 	It used to be a game, now its a crying shame 	
 	Cuz you don't wanna play around no more 	
 	I used to run around 	
 	Sometimes I fell and skinned my knee 	
 	I never meant to do all that I've done it's true 	
 	Please, baby, say it's not too late 	
 	to Getchoo, uh-huh 	
 	Getchoo, uh-huh 	
 	Getchoo, uh-huh 	
 	Getchoo, Getchoo, Getchoo. uh-huh 	
 	Ya know this is breakin' me up 	
 	you think that I'm some kind of freak 	
 	Bud if you'd come back to me then you would surely see	
 	that I'm just foolin' around 	
 	to Getchoo, uh-huh 	
 	getchoo, uh-huh 	
 	getchoo, getchoo, getchoo 	
 	I can't believe 	
 	What you've done to me 	
 	What I did to her 	
 	You've done to me 	
 	 	
 	 	
 	This is beginning 	
 	 	
 	now I know what I must do 	
 	where I belong

SCENE II	Outside Maria's Pod 	
 	 	
Jonas: 	My girl's on fire 	
 	But I'll stand beside her 	
 	She's all I've got and I don't want to be alone 	
 	My girl don't see me 	
 	When she's with my friends 	
 	She's all I've got and I don't want to be alone 	
 	No there is no other one 	
 	No there is no ther one 	
 	I can't have any other one 	
 	though I would, now I never could with one 	
 	All of the drugs she does 	
 	Scare me real good 	
 	She's got a tattoo 	
 	and two pet snakes 	
 	But nobody knows me like her 	
 	Nobody knows her like me 	
 	We're all we've got and 	
 	we don't want to be alone 	
 	No there is no other one 	
 	No there is no other one 	
 	I can't have any other one 	
 	though I would, now I never could with one 	
 	 	
Wuan: 	Touch down, there's no sign of life anywhere 	
 	I don't understand what the hell we're doing here 	
 	Travel for a year and drink a lot of beer is my idea of fun 	
 	But where's the prize we should have won? 	
 	 	
M1: 	Chill out 	
 	I think I've found some sort of anomaly 	
 	We're gonna go out to the surface of the planet and take a quick look around	
 	 	
Jonas: 	Go ahead and look around 	
 	I'll stay behind 	
 	It's time for me to settle down 	
 	And set things right 	
Dondó: 	Hold on, who is that ring you got for 	
-----
Jonas: 	Suddenly our shortcomings 	
 	don't seem to matter that much 	
 	your IQ is 20 points low 	
 	and I'm no 6 foot hot-look all-american man	
 	Sad to say I pushed you away 	
 	waiting for Mrs. Right 	
 	But you never gave up 	
 	Devotion, waiting for me 	
 	You'll always be my girlfriend 	
 	I too am waiting for you 	
 	I'll always be your friend 	
 	I commend your stubborness 	
 	Without it we'd've never got this far 	
 	I am done with perfection 	
 	chasing her leaves me with nothing but pain	
 	Unlike you she isn't true 	
 	She's got her own concerns 	
 	But you never gave up 	
 	Devotion, waiting for me 	
 	You'll always be my girlfriend 	
 	I too, am waiting for you 	
 	I'll always be your friend 	
Jonas and	 	
Jo-Jo: 	Now that we're left all alone 	
 	Touch me and kiss me and love me 	
Jonas: 	What is this I find 	
 	under your behind? 	
 	extra-huge 	
 	and it's used 	
 	I wonder which 2 of us 	
 	best of friends opened and used it 	
 	 	
Jo-Jo: 	Jonas, you know I waited 	Oh, I threw away
 	waited till I couldn't take it 	your loving kindness
 	I was alone, he called on the phone 	I took you for granted
 	and gave me the love you wouldn't 	I'm all alone
Jonas: 	The only man I know 	Jo-Jo: think of the times we loved
 	who fits is our Dondó 	think of the child we have
 	extra-huge 	love would come true
 	and its used 	if I could undo
 	I know which 2 of us 	what you-
 	Best of friends opened and used it 	you made me do
 	Now I finally see 	No! there is no other one
 	What you're all about 	No, no, No there is no other one
 	too late too late 	I can't have any other one
 	 	what I did I wish wouldn't have done
-----
Maria:	Oh Jonas, I hear you 	
 	I know that you're in there with Laural 	
 	 	
Jonas:	Damn 	
 	 	
Maria:	Oh Jonas, please hear me 	
 	I need to tell you something 	
 	Now open, open the door 	
 	 	
 	Why haven't you called me 	
 	did you forget me 	
 	I need to know 	
 	When were you intending 	
 	to break the silence 	
 	and let me know 	
 	mine is the loneliest of numbers 	
 	and now is the loneliest of times 	
 	I'm 19 days late 	
 	but still I sit and wait 	
 	Waiting and Waiting 	
 	Waiting and waiting 	
 	Waiting and waiting 	
 	Waiting on you 	
 	Who have you been seeing 	
 	That made you forget me 	
 	I bet you call her 	
 	Where, where does she come from 	
 	I bet it's New England 	
 	I bet she's just a friend 	
 	 	
 	I asked you if you had a good heart 	
 	 	
Jonas:	I answered "Yes, I'll never do you harm"	
 	 	
Maria:	Oh Jonas, I've told you 	in D
 	Now you know why I've been crazy 	
 	 	
Jonas:	Maria, I'm sorry 	in F
 	I promise to give you a ring 	
 	as soon as I get the chance 	
 	 	
 	Oh! She's a liar 	
 	She's just trying to trap me 	Laural:
 	Maria is nothing to me 	Maria is all that you've got
 	Laural you're all that I want 	Maybe you could have had me
 	Maybe you thought I was joking before 	Maybe you could have had me
 	But now you must know that I'm not 	if you grown up a little bit sooner and
 	Now I know for sure 	thought - about your life
 	I've changed my ways 	
 	I'm ready for you 	
-----
Jonas: 	I know I shouldn't trust in you 	
 	Ya got a look that made me think you're cool 	
 	But it's just sexual attraction 	
 	Not somethin' real so I'd rather keen wackin' 	
 	Why bother? 	
 	It's gonna hurt me 	
 	It's gonna kill when you desert me 	
 	This happened to me twice before 	
 	It won't happen to me anymore 	
 	I've known a lot of girls before 	
 	What's the harm in knowin' one more? 	
 	Maybe we could even get together 	
 	Yeah, maybe you could break my heart next summer	
 	Why Bother? 	
 	It's gonna hurt me 	
 	It's gonna kill when you desert me 	
 	This happened to me twice before 	
 	It won't happen to me anymore 	
 	It's a cryin' shame I'm all alone 	
 	Not with you, not her, nor anyone 	
 	won't you knock me on my head 	
 	Crack it open let me outta here now 	
 	Don't bother 	
 	it's gonna hurt me 	
 	it's gonna kill when you desert me 	
 	 	
 	Why bother? It's gonna hurt me 	
 	Why bother? It's gonna hurt me 	
 	 	
Laural:	I'm so tall, can't get over me 	
 	I'm so low, can't get under me 	
 	I must be all these things 	
 	For I just threw out the love of my dreams 	
 	he's in my eyes 	
 	he is in my ears 	
 	he's in my blood 	
 	he is in my tears 	
 	I breathe love and see him every day 	
 	Even though my love is a world away 	
 	Oh he's got me wonderin' 	
 	My righteousness is crumblin' 	
 	Never before have I felt this 	
 	know what is right but want for him to stay 	
 	I must be made of steel 	
 	For I just threw out the love of my dreams
