My Freeze Ray

Laundry day
See you there
Under things
Tumbling
Wanna say
Love your hair
Here I go
Mumbling

With my freeze ray I will stop the world
With my freeze ray I will
find the time to find the words to

Tell you how
How you make
Make me feel
What’s the phrase?
Like a fool
Kinda sick
Special needs
Anyways

With my freeze ray I will stop the pain
It’s not a death ray or an ice beam
That’s all Johnny Snow
I just think you need time to know
That I’m the guy to make it real
The feelings you don’t dare to feel
I’ll bend the world to our will
And we’ll make time stand still
That’s the plan
Rule the world
You and me
Any day
Love your hair

Penny: What?
Billy: No – I… love the… air…

Anyway
With my freeze ray I will stop

Bad Horse Chorus

Bad Horse, Bad Horse
Bad Horse, Bad Horse
He rides across the nation, the thoroughbred of sin
He got the application that you just sent in
It needs evaluation, so let the games begin
A heinous crime, a show of force
(a murder would be nice of course)

Bad Horse, Bad Horse
Bad Horse, he’s bad
The evil league of evil is watching so beware
The grade that you receive’ll be your last, we swear
So make the bad horse gleeful, or he’ll make you his mare
You’re saddled up; there’s no recourse
It’s hi-yo, silver!

Signed: Bad Horse.

Caring Hands

Will you lend a caring hand
To shelter those who need it
Only have to sign your name
Don’t even have to read it
Would you help… No? How about you?

A Man’s Gotta Do

Dr. Horrible

A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do
Don’t plan the plan if you can’t follow through
all that matters: taking matters into your own hands
Soon I’ll control everything, my wish is your command

Captain Hammer

Stand back everyone, nothing here to see
Just imminent danger, in the middle of it, me
Yes, Captain Hammer’s here, hair blowing in the breeze
And the day needs my saving expertise
A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do
Seems destiny ends with me saving you
The only doom that’s looming is you loving me to death
So I’ll give you a sec to catch your breath

Penny

Thank you Hammer man, I don’t think I can
Explain how important it was that you stopped the van
I would be splattered I’d be crushed under debris
Thank you sir for saving me

Captain Hammer

Don’t worry about it…
A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do
Seems destiny ends with me saving you
When you’re the best, you can’t rest, what’s the use
There’s ass needs kicking, some ticking bomb to defuse
The only doom that’s looming is you loving me to death

Penny

You came from above
I wonder what you’re Captain of
My heart is beating like a drum
Must be, must be in shock
Assuming I’m not loving you to death

Captain Hammer/Penny

So please give me a sec to catch my breath

Dr. Horrible

Are you kidding?
What heist were you watching?
Stop looking at her like that
Did you notice that he threw you in the garbage?
I stopped the van, the remote control was in my hand
Whatever
Balls

My Eyes

Dr. Horrible

Any dolt with half a brain
Can see that humankind has gone insane
To the point where I don’t know
If I’ll upset the status quo
If I throw poison in the water main
Listen close to everybody’s heart
And hear that breaking sound
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
And crashing to the ground
I cannot believe my eyes
How the world’s filled with filth and lies
But it’s plain to see
Evil inside of me is on the rise

Penny

Look around
We’re living with the lost and found
Just when you feel you’ve almost drowned
You find yourself on solid ground
And you believe
There’s good in everybody’s heart
Keep it safe and sound
With hope, you can do your part
To turn a life around
I cannot believe my eyes
Is the world finally growing wise
‘Cause it seems to me
Some kind of harmony
Is on the rise

Dr. Horrible (overlapping with Penny below)

Anyone with half a brain
Could spend their whole life howling in pain
‘Cause the dark is everywhere
And Penny doesn’t seem to care
That soon the dark in me is all that will remain
Listen close to everybody’s heart
And hear that breaking sound
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
And crashing to the ground
I cannot believe my eyes
How the world’s filled with filth and lies
But it’s plain to see
Evil inside of me is on the rise

Penny

Take it slow
He looks at me and seems to know
The things that I’m afraid to show
And suddenly I feel this glow
And I believe
There’s good in everybody’s heart
Keep it safe and sound
With hope, you can do your part
To turn a life around
I cannot believe my eyes
How the world’s finally growing wise
And it’s plain to see
Rapture inside of me is on the rise

Bad Horse Chorus (reprise)

He saw the operation you tried to pull today
But your humiliation means he still votes "neigh"
And now assassination is just the only way
There will be blood, it might be yours
So go kill someone

Signed: Bad Horse

Penny’s Song

Here’s a story of a girl
Who grew up lost and lonely
Thinking love was fairytale
And trouble was made only for me

Even in the darkness
Every color can be found
And every day of rain
Brings water flowing
To things growing in the ground
Grief replaced with pity
For a city barely coping
Dreams are easy to achieve
If hope is all I’m hoping to be

Anytime you’re hurt there’s one
Who has it worse around
And every drop of rain
Will keep you growing
Seeds you’re sowing in the ground
So keep your head up Billy, buddy

Brand New Day

This appeared as a moral dilemma ’cause at first
It was weird though I swore to eliminate the worst
Of the plague that devoured humanity it’s true
I was vague on the "how" – so how can it be that you
Have shown me the light

It’s a brand new day
And the sun is high
All the birds are singing
That you’re gonna die
How I hesitated
Now I wonder why
It’s a brand new day

All the time that you beat me unconscious I forgive
All the crimes incomplete – listen, honestly I’ll live
Mr. Cool, Mr. Right, Mr. Know-It-All is through
Now the future’s so bright and I owe it all to you
Who showed me the light

It’s a brand new me
I got no remorse
Now the water’s rising
But I know the course
I’m gonna shock the world
Gonna show Bad Horse
It’s a brand new day

And Penny will see the evil me
Not a joke, not a dork, not a failure
And she may cry but her tears will dry
When I hand her the keys to a shiny new Australia

It’s a brand new day
Yeah the sun is high
All the angels sing
Because you’re gonna die
Go ahead and laugh
Yeah I’m a funny guy
Tell everyone goodbye…
It’s a brand new day

So They Say

Moving Guys

So they say Captain Hammer’s become a crusader
Political – He’s cleaning up the streets

About time

Groupies

So they say that it’s real love
So romantic
He signed this

Penny

So they say we’ll have blankets and beds
We can open by Monday
Thanks to you

Captain Hammer: Thanks to me.

News People

It’s the perfect story
So they say
A hero leading the way
Hammer’s call to glory
Let’s all be our best
Next up – Who’s gay?

Groupies

So they say he saved her life
They say she works with the homeless
And doesn’t eat meat
We have a problem with her

Captain Hammer

This is so nice
Just might sleep with the same girl twice
They say it’s better the second time
They say you get to do the weird stuff

Groupies

We do the weird stuff

Penny

This is perfect for me
So they say
I guess it’s pretty okay
After years of stormy
Sailing have I finally found the bay

There’s no happy ending
So they say
Should I stop pretending
Or is this a brand new day

Dr. Horrible

There’s no happy ending
So they say
Not for me anyway
Stop pretending
Take the chance to build a brand new day

Groupies

This is his dry cleaning bill
Four sweater vests

Everyone’s A Hero

It may not feel too classy
Begging just to eat
But you know who does that? Lassie.
And she always gets a treat
So you wonder what your part is
’cause you’re homeless and depressed
But home is where the heart is
So your real home’s in your chest

Everyone’s a hero in their own way
Everyone’s got villains they must face
They’re not as cool as mine
But folks, you know it’s fine to know your place
Everyone’s a hero in their own way
In their own not-that-heroic way

So I thank my girlfriend, penny
(yeah, we totally had sex)
She showed me there’s so many
Different muscles I can flex
There’s the deltoids of compassion
There’s the abs of being kind
It’s not enough to bash in heads
you’ve got to bash in minds

Everyone’s a hero in their own way
Everyone’s got something they can do
Get up, go out and fly
Especially that guy – he smells like poo
Everyone’s a hero in their own way
You and you and mostly me and you

I’m poverty’s new sheriff
And I’m bashing in the slums
A hero doesn’t care
If you’re a bunch of scary alcoholic bums

Everyone’s a hero in their own way
Everyone can blaze a hero’s trail
Don’t worry if it’s hard
If you’re not a friggin’ ‘tard you will prevail

Everyone’s a hero in their own way
Everyone’s a hero in their way

Slipping

Look at these people – amazing how sheep’ll
Show up for the slaughter
No one condemning you – lined up like lemmings
You led to the water
Why can’t they see what I see? Why can’t they hear the lies?
Maybe the fee’s too pricey for them to realize

Your disguise is slipping
I think you’re slipping
Now that your savior is still as the grave you’re
Beginning to fear me
Like cavemen fear thunder – I still have to wonder
Can you really hear me?
I bring you pain, the kind you can’t suffer quietly
Fire up your brain, remind you inside you’re rioting
Society is slipping

Everything’s slipping away
So…

Go ahead – run away
Say it was horrible

Spread the word – tell a friend
Tell them the tale

Get a pic – do a blog
Heroes are over with

Look at him – not a word

Hammer, meet nail
Then I win – then I get
Everything I ever

All the cash – all the fame
And social change

Anarchy – that I run
It’s Dr. Horrible’s turn
You people all have to learn
This world is going to burn
Burn
(yeah, it’s two r’s. H, O, R, R, yeah right.)
Burn

No sign of Penny – good.
I would give anything not to have her see
It’s gonna be bloody – head up Billy buddy
There’s no time for mercy
Here goes – no mercy…
