-[A duet between Eli (male) and Socratessa (female), his devoted girlfriend]
-
-[Intro – spoken, reflective]
-(So I'm sipping lukewarm Coffee in a diner off Route 10)
-(A call from Socratessa Jones pops up on my screen again)
-(I know what’s coming...)
-
-[Verse 1 – Socratessa, firm but caring]
-Eli, you've had twenty years of schooling
-And learnt every song ever written and every musical tooling.
-But you can’t live forever on melodious grift,
-Daddy says he needs a good worker on the day shift.
-That road is long, playing music at bars full of cops,
-Where no one listens, they just want you to stop.
-The rent won’t pay itself, love won’t grow on broken bones.
-Make me a Mercer; I'm tired of being a Jones.
-
-[Verse 2 – Eli, defiant, earnest]
-But Tess, so the weathermen taught me how the wind blows,
-Now I'm standing on the Watchtower, seeing how the future goes.
-Dad told me, “Get a haircut and get a real job,”
-But my dream keeps knocking, I don't care if I'm a slob.
-Those old guys have had their day, now they're shouting at clouds
-I'm getting stronger, far off the pavement, I'm free and I'm proud.
-Something is happening here, but you don't know what is,
-Do you Tessa Jones
-
-[Mini-Chorus – Eli’s leitmotif, melodic, uplifting]
-I won’t let the real world crush my dreams,
-Even when it’s harder than it seems.
-
-[Verse 3 – Socratessa, wry, realistic]
-It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ’n’ roll,
-You'll get ripped off, you'll get stoned
-It aint easy playing one night stands.
-And for every Rolling Stone
-There's a thousand piano mans.
-And not every soul with talent finds their mark.
-You're derivative, Eli: where’s your spark?
-Sitting at Motel California, halfway up the stairs,
-With the dank smell of Colitas wafting up through your hair?
-
-[wild but clumsy guitar solo with a few bum notes]
-
-[Verse 4 – Eli, defiant but warm]
-Sure, maybe I’m derivative, maybe I’m small,
-But greatness grows with practice, after all.
-I’m no algorithm spitting out a song,
-I’ve got to stumble forward to where I belong.
-
-[Bridge – overlapping duet, bittersweet]
-Socratessa: One day you’ll thank me for saving your skin.
-Eli: One day you’ll smile when I finally win.
-Both: The real world bites, but still we sing—
-A dream is a fragile, impossible thing.
-
-[Mini-Chorus – Eli, softer, insistent]
-Don’t let the real world crush your dreams,
-I’ll keep on walking, stitch my seams.
-
-[Outro – both, gentle, tender resolution]
-[Socratessa] Maybe work the day shift, sing at night.
-[Eli] Maybe that’s the balance, maybe that’s right.
-[Together] The dialogue continues, love and doubt—
-[Together] Till the music finds its way out.
