Original Off-Broadway Cast of Emojiland
Cross My Bones
[SKULL, spoken]
It's not for the faint of heart what I am going to ask of you. Only a true friend would agree to it.

[NERD FACE, spoken]
Agree to what?

[SKULL, spoken]
Something easier said than done, I assure you. But, I have a feeling you may be the one and only Emoji up to the challenge.

[Verse 1, sung]
Life is such a waste
If you haven't a dream you'd happily die for
Season it to taste
In the end, all that counts is what you'd fry for
So, my quest as the code intended
Is not to rest 'til this life is ended

[NERD FACE, spoken]
You want to delete yourself?

[SKULL, Chorus]
Cross my bones and hope to die
We don't need an alibi
It's in my code, I must comply
Cross my bones and hope to die
And hope to die
And hope to die

[NERD FACE, spoken]
Okay, I get it, I get it. But even if one were to justify the deed by the nature of your particular codal identity, what do you need my help for?

[SKULL, spoken]
Because you, Nerd Face, possess an understanding of the code that I, for whatever reason, lack. Not just an understanding that anything is possible, but, I suspect, the knowledge needed to achieve it. You see...

[Verse 2, sung]
I have tried before
But have never achieved complete destruction
'Til there is no more
I'll have failed at my fundamental function
But with your kind and esteemed assistance
I could soon be free from this cruel existence
Cross my bones and hope to die
We don't need an alibi
It's in our code, we must comply
Cross my bones and hope to die
[NERD FACE & (SKULL)]
Cross my bones and hope to die (And hope to die)
We don't need an alibi (And hope to die)
It's in our code, we must comply (And hope to die)
Cross my bones and hope to die

[SKULL]
And hope to die

[NERD FACE]
And hope to die

[SKULL]
And hope to die

[NERD FACE]
And hope to die

[SKULL & NERD FACE]
And hope to die
