Now, I know a tentative song list for Act 1 has been produced. However, even if this song never becomes official, and it never leaves this board, it's something I hope to bring to the table. (of course, I have done other work on the musical over the past few days)
I'm not going to write the lyrics for the first half of the song just yet, due to the confusion with the locket. After that, however, it would go a little something...like this.
Apollo: And, speaking of my career
I hate to speak in haste or in fear
But, since Mr Gavin was my employer
I sorta need a new place where I can be a lawyer
...I feel responsible
He was actually pretty nice
Once you got to know him
I mean, he gave sketchy advice, but...
Phoenix: It's not your fault
Apollo: Why was this the result?
There was nothing you could have done
I wish this trial had just begun
You wanted to find the truth. and
I'd have simmered, and not been so ruthless
You did just that But I did just that
Phoenix: You've played your cards
You've rolled the dice
There's nothing more to say
You've helped to protect Miss Orly's life (Apollo: Oh, really?)
I'd call that a pretty good day
Phoenix: And, you know, you could always come and work for me.
Apollo: You mean, at Wright and Co. Law Offices? I'd lo- wait a minute. You're still a lawyer? After what you did?
Phoenix: ...
Apollo: Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-
Phoenix: It's okay, Apollo.
I get it
I forgive you
You said what you must to get by
Reflexes, I get
You can't wait, I bet
To head into the bright sunny sky!
Apollo: ...I guess so. But, did you ever consider retaking the bar exam?
Phoenix: I did. But this case proved I don't deserve to.
Apollo: W-what do you mean?
Phoenix: In that trial just now...there was a piece of forged evidence.
Apollo: WHAT?!? Which one?!? Was it the autopsy report? The bottle? MY BADGE?!?
Phoenix: Calm down, Apollo. It was that bloody ace you presented. The "ace up your sleeve", so to speak.
Apollo: ...what?
Phoenix: Gavin took the real card away with him.
Apollo: I hope this is all one big joke
Phoenix: I'm afraid not
You mean, the card I presented
I mean, the card you presented
Is a fake?
It's a sham!
It's as true as I am!
It was too good to be true...
And now, I'm paranoid And now
Because I'm unemployed we know
And it's all thanks to you... the one in the wrong was-
You, you, you...
*punch*
Apollo: It's your fault I presented forged evidence! You'd think you of all people would have learned your lesson.
Phoenix: ...
Apollo: (horrified) W-wait...I didn't mean...and again-
Phoenix: (sung) It's okay, Apollo; I understand
...I want you to take this.
Apollo: Your business card? I-
Phoenix: Don't be alarmed
Just, don't call me remiss
Come by sometime
I'll help you shine
The wheel of fate will rise
...this was fun.
Until we meet again, Apollo...
Under the bright, sunny sky!
I'd have a demo or something available if there was any chance of this song making it in, but it seems pointless otherwise.
