[EXEC 1]
We on the executive team
Are not immune from hope and dreams
We have ideas and opinions
That could help make some decisions
For example, your idea of musical genre
Seems mostly informed by marijuana
That’s all good! Lean in, it’s hip and now
But why not expand it somehow?
Include some rap, folk, or heavy metal?
EDM, slow jam–don’t you settle!
[ALL EXECS]
Include some rap, folk, or heavy metal?
EDM, slow jam–don’t you settle!
[EXEC 2]
What about some product placement
Don't look at me with that face of effacement!
It can be on brand and integrated
Willie Nelson gummies get you elated
[EXEC 3]
That’s a good idea that will add appeal
But you know what would really seal the deal?
Let’s reach out to Arnold and Sigourney
I don’t think this idea is corny!
[ALL EXECS]
It’s not corny to want Sigourney!
[conference phone rings]
“Hello, this is Segourney Weaver, returning your call?”
[exec team goes berserk with joy]
[EXEC 4]
I would hasten to remind you all
Before you open up decision to include all
This is not a meeting about this executive board
This isn’t the point, and should not be explored
[all execs argue over meeting direction]

How about ….
some autotuned hip hop–what the hell?
In the rap’n Broadway tradition of Lin Manuel
You know-- like Kanye and T pain and all those guys
this addition to the sonic palette will truly synergize
Truly synergize
Not like those other guys
Oh,It goes straight to my thighs

you know
I am strictly Xeno
Imma take you to the casino
Your man see us, and you know he know
He lookin baggy saggy like recent Al Pacino
My blood is highly acidic
Your whole being is syphilitic
You stank ass predator
You got roaches as your progenitor
All hail the xenomorph queen
She a killer alien baby machine
You know she one fine lady
Laying those eggs on the daily
Suck some hot slime
It’s long past your time
To get off my spiky thang
While I kick this Xeno slang
All hail the xenomorph queen

You know, how about
A 90s slow jam like they did back in the day
Re-introduce some P&A romance into the fray
A nice urban love song is a sure bet
In the style of baby face or maybe Keith sweat?
Our executive VP Steve; this is his jam,this his groove
But of course feel no pressure to approve

[Alien]
Every hundred years passing through the stars
to meet with you
[Predator]
Xenomorph, and this world is ours
a crazy love ensues
[Alien]
As much as I want to fulfill our fate
of tumbling through time as my cheeky playmate
[Predator]
If I can’t have you I might detonate
with my self-destruct device, yes, I’d make that sacrifice
[Alien]
You spread across the galaxy
I know you get around
[Predator]
With your heat bloom on my radar
We can meet up underground
[Together]
It shows that we are one
Two bandits on the run
And we won’t stop any-time
Baby, cuz you’re in your prime
[Predator]
We were made to be together
We were made to be as one
The pyramids are scattered
You are all that ever mattered
We were made to be together
[Predator]
I think about you every day of the week
You’re my sexy-ass xenomorph alien freak
With your acid saliva and your razor sharp teeth
We were made to be together baby you and me
[Predator]
You are my queen
My face-hugging dream
[Alien]
I wish you could be here now
If your schedule would allow
[Predator]
Sometimes we hit a rough patch,
But now you’ve met your match
I’ll be ringing you up soon
[Together]
To get together for 2122!
[Together]
We were made to be together
We were made to be as one

What about a nice folk jam?
It would please your hippy auntie pam
Who changed her name to Krishna, or was it Vishnu?
Who knew?
You know it’s good times and mellow vibes
A philosophy to which I do subscribe
If it you don’t do that too, I hate you
I hate you
I hate you

The missive of our journey
Dark nights not returning
Simple Things
Simple Dreams
Washed into night
Particles of light
Predator ship arrives on Earth
a heating device to melt a hole in the ice.
Follow scientists to the whaling station
and down the tunnel find an ancient civilization
Exploring the caves, the eggs hatch
The xenomorph rises and has a snack
Using the humans as a hotel room
breaking out like thunder, that is what they do
Simple Things
Simple Dreams
Washed into night
Particles of light!

Seen my Queen

|
Now, have you seen my queen?
I don't know where she's been?
She's always there for me
And I can't go
A love as old as the universe
She's always there when I'm at my worst
A love like ours is surely cursed
Oh alright yeah
Of my queeaaahhh

What this play is lacking
Is some aggression and attacking
Some nerve wracking
Never ever slacking
Thrash metal theater
will be like a cleaver
I’m not sure if this has been done before
A meta-metal musical, let the eagle soar
So many genres to explore!
YAAAAHHHHHH

The Alien Queen:
Yo, this is it.
The final showdown
Alien...Predator
In the mix
Shouldn't step to me cause this is it.
Eight opposable thumbs like Alien Alien Queen
Four hatching Eggs like Alien Alien Queen
Two metal jaws like Alien Alien Queen (Whoo Hooo!)
Giant Fuckin' Head like Alien Alien Queen
Lady Predator:
Queen Yas Queen oh I'm a Lady Predator
Like you've never seen
Queen Yas Queen
And I'll dismember Reps like a girl who's mean
I got three red laser scopes
I got three red laser scopes
The Alien Queen:
That don't mean shit, mean shit, shit to me (Whoo Hooo!)
That don't mean shit, mean shit, shit to me
Eight opposable thumbs like Alien Alien Queen
Four hatching Eggs like Alien Alien Queen
Two metal jaws like Alien Alien Queen
Giant Fuckin' Head like Alien Alien Queen
Lady Predator:
Queen Yas Queen oh I'm a Lady Predator
