(A group of friends and I challenged ourselves to write additional songs for the movie Labyrinth, this was my song for the interaction between Sarah and the Junk-Lady)
Junk Lady:
Welcome to the land of make-believe
If anything’s real you'll never see
So many people escape in memories
Welcome to the land of broken dreams
If it's done well you'll never leave
Why would you want to? That I ask dearie
Welcome to the land of make-believe
If it's done well you'll never leave
Welcome to the land of hopes and dreams
Welcome to the land of shattered dreams
See that bear ol’ Lancelot
Well it seems he’s got a spot
Right there above your bed
And you notice how intact
Each odd bob and artifact collect upon your nightstand
Everything is in its place so why must you make that face?
I couldn’t understand
Sarah:
Everything is in its place
Why does it feel like outer space
Look at the things upon my nightstand
And my bear oh Lancelot
Well he’s got his special spot
Right there above my bed
Junk Lady:
And look at your pretty lipstick
See?
The real world you do not need
In the land of make-believe
Sarah:
The mirror pulls me in
Whether fantasy or sin
I really cannot tell
Junk Lady:
Look at all the stuff you have
Why do you still look sad
Here are more things I can show you
Sarah:
As my shoulders gain more weight
There’s this crushing heavy- wait!
I was here to find my brother
Leave me be old memories
And crazy lady can’t you see?
This junk means only nothing
Junk lady:
Junk? Junk!
How dare you, foolish girl
Fine go be in the real world
Watch your heart and family suffer
I tried to keep you here
Keep you near what you hold dear
But fine be on your way now
Sarah:
I can keep myself from harm
Thanks, don’t need to hold your arm
That's exactly what I’m saying
Together:
We may not see eye to eye
So I guess this is goodbye
I hope you’ve chosen correctly
