The Sun and Moon - Intellectual

[Lyric Note]

Cassius opens an attic armoire and out jumps Pollock! They study one another's identical features. Pollock, the more disheveled looking, watches carefully with two unusually large and blackened eyes

[Pollock]

You're like the Sun and I'm the Moon

A mere reflection of your magnitude

A replicate cast across the room

A remedy for your solitude

'Cause you are my Sun and I'm your Moon

I am the one without a name

You are the glue, I'm bonded to you

I can see through you like a two-way mirror

No man's tried the trials you've been through

I see behind your eyes, a horror that haunts you—

[Cassius and Pollock]

Hanging over your shoulder

[Pollock]

Who's that misfit sitting in the corner?

The things that kid did are cloistered like a coma

[Cassius and Pollock]

Hanging over your shoulder

[Pollock]

My flesh and blood, it can't be true

You're everything I could never be

I was no one, now I'm two

You're actually here acknowledging that I am the 'we' that makes us complete

It sure has been a leper's life living in these shadows—

[reconsiders, to himself]

No, that's not quite right—

[continues]

It was an illustrious life 'til you eclipsed my luster

Who was there when you dined with Dionysus?

Who do you think that was, nourishing your hubris?

[Cassius and Pollock]

Hanging over your shoulder

[Pollock]

Who was there, engorged in Gommorah

Who do you think that was dancing in the sulfur?

[Cassius and Pollock]

Hanging over your shoulder

[Pollock]

I was hanging over your shoulder, singing in your ears:

You're like the Sun and I'm the Moon

[fiendishly, to himself]

Well maybe, I'm like the Sun and you're the Moon!

[resigned]

Nah, you're like the Sun and I'm the Moon
