Made of Stone
[QUASIMODO]
(spoken)
Not going out. Bad things come when I leave. Always bad

[LONI]
(spoken)
Nonsense. That's not my boy talking

[QUASIMODO]
What do you know of me?
What do you know of all the things I feel?
You're only made of stone!
Who is it that you see
Instead of seeing what I am for real-
This twisted flesh and bone?

[ANTOiNE]
(spoken)
But Quasimodo, what's inside you is-

[QUASIMODO]
You're a liar!
With every new excuse you try out
You only make me want to cry out
"Would that I were
Made of stone like you"

[CHARLES]
(spoken)
Quasimodo, it's obvious you-

[QUASIMODO]
You're so smart it smarts!
So why has not a single word you said
Been any help at all?

[LONI]
(spoken)
Quasimodo!

[QUASIMODO]
And you, the queen of hearts!
The more your hopes and fancies fill my head
The farther that I fall
Shut my brain down!
If I were senseless, I prefer it
Another gargoyle on this turret
Spitting rain down
To the stones below!
Oh!

I wasted my faith believing in saints of plaster
But the only one worth believing in was my master
He's the one who never lied
He told me it was cruel outside
He told me how I had to hide
His words were cold as stone
But they were true
Not like you
Take all the dream you've sown
Take all your lies and leave me alone!


[ANTOiNE]
All right, Quasimodo. We'll leave you alone

[CHARLES]
All right, Quasimodo. We'll trouble you no longer

[LONI]
You're right, Quasimodo. We're only made of stone

[ALL THREE]
We just thought you were made of something stronger


[QUASIMODO]
And now I'm on my own
Never again to wonder what's out there
Let it remain unknown
And my one human eye
Will evermore be dry
Until the day I die
As if I
Were made of stone
