## Lyrics

**Benjamin:**

What do you mean

“He saw something move?”

**Rose:**

We wouldn't say

Not right away

**Samuel:**

Only next week

We'll give them a peek

**Benjamin:**

I don’t understand

This isn’t really an excerpt

From the journal of Herschel

**Samuel:**

Obviously

**Rose:**

But he’s in another hemisphere

I don’t think he cares what is written here

**Samuel:**

She's a big fan

**Rose:**

Of his mind

**Samuel, spoken:**

…Okay

**Benjamin:**

I don’t understand

If this is truly a story of fiction…

**Rose, Samuel:**

Why use a name that is so recognizable?

**Benjamin, spoken:**

Yes!

**(sung)**

Why don’t you make up a new

Astronomer that is less identifiable?

**Rose, Samuel:**

That's the best part

**Rose:**

When they see his name

**Samuel:**

At the top of the page

**Rose:**

It will give the story weight

**Samuel:**

It will become all the rage

And give the New York Sun some readability

**Rose:**

And, ostensibly, credibility

**Benjamin:**

People could believe it

**Samuel, spoken:**

Yes!

**Rose:**

They'll be glued to every line of text

**Benjamin:**

People would believe it

**Rose, spoken:**

Yes!

**Samuel:**

They'll be dying to see what happens next

Just like you

**Rose:**

Banging down the door

To see part two

**Benjamin:**

I'm intrigued

But Samuel, you were sacked

Even if I wanted to, I can’t act

**Samuel:**

I suppose that’s that

**Rose:**

Print it anyway

**Benjamin, Samuel, spoken:**

What?

**Rose:**

You're the editor, print it anyway

**Benjamin, spoken:**

Are you mad?

**Rose:**

Tonight, it's only you and the printing press

Sneak it in, it’s for the best

You can be the catalyst

Print it and we'll do the rest

**Samuel, spoken:**

Rose might be onto something

**Rose:**

Can't you see it

The Sun will be on top

Move over, New York Sentinel

It’s your turn to flop

The notebook that you're holding

Has part one of our story

Print it word for word, name it

**Rose, Samuel:**

“Great Astronomical Discoveries”

**Narrator:**

Benjamin's eyes opened wide

The story that they told made him think

Benjamin sat terrified

The story that he holds

What if someone were to put it in ink?

**Rose:**

Print it anyway

**Benjamin:**

It’s sensational

**Samuel:**

Sensation often thrills

**Rose:**

Print it anyway

**Benjamin:**

This is crazy

**Rose:**

But crazy pays the bills

**Benjamin:**

Rose...

**Rose:**

Ben

**Samuel:**

Guys!

**Benjamin:**

It's a lie

**Samuel:**

That's true

**Rose:**

Who cares?

**Benjamin:**

I do

You two have the paper stand

‘Me, I have no back-up plan

Can't you see it

My career will end

I won't ever show my face again

**Narrator:**

Benjamin stopped inside

He looked up at the sky

And saw the moon

**Rose:**

Benjamin, leave if you want

But tell me, what does the Sun have to lose?

**Samuel:**

The Sun could shutter any day

And everybody knows it

**Benjamin:**

That's got Thomas scared as hell

Even if he doesn't show it

**Samuel:**

This could be a turning point

And even if we blow it

Things will never be the same

Would you not rather go out in a flame?

**Benjamin:**

I have to run, someone has to run

The printing press for the New York Sun

**Narrator:**

Benjamin turned and left behind

The Stratford Family Paper Stand

**Samuel, spoken:**

Why are you smiling, Rose?

**Rose:**

Benjamin left with our notebook in his hand
