And Then There Were None lyrics

Dear Herr Stiefel...

Moritz, I've spent the entire day thinking about your note. Truly, it touched me, it did, that you'd think of me as a friend. Of course, I was saddened to hear that your exams came off rather less well than you'd hoped and that you will not be promoted, come fall. And yet, I must say straightaway, that fleeing to America is hardly the solution. And even if it were, I cannot provide the money you request...

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, well, fine

Not like it's even worth the time

But still, you know, you wanted more

Sorry, it won't change—been there before

You would do me wrong, Herr Stiefel, to read into my refusal any lack of affection. On the contrary, as Melchior's mother, I truly believe it to be my duty to curb this momentary loss of...

The thing that sucks—okay?—for me

A thousand bucks, I'm like, scot-free

And I mean, please...that's all I need

Get real, Jose—by now you know the score

Should you like, I am ready to write to your parents. I will try to convince them that no one could have worked harder last semester, and also that too rigorous a condemnation of your current misfortune could have the gravest possible effect on...

You wanna laugh, it's too absurd

You start to ask, can't hear a word

You're gonna crash and burn

Right, tell me more

Still, Herr Stiefel, one thing in your letter disturbed me. Your—what shall we call it?—veiled threat that, should escape not be possible, you would take your own life...

Okay so, now we do the play

Act like we so care—no way

You'll write my folks? Well, okay

Babe, that's how it goes

My dear boy, the world is filled with men—businessmen, scientists, scholars even—who have done rather poorly in school, and yet gone on to brilliant careers. Consider, for example, our friend, Leopold...

They'll freak, or won't—you toe the line

You tell your soul, "Just kill some time"

Will it quit? It will until they don't

They're not my home, not anymore

Not like they so were before

Still, I'll split, and they'll, like

Well, who knows? Who knows? Who knows...

In any case, I assure you that your present misfortune will have no effect on my feelings for you, or on your relationship with Melchior...

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, well, fine

Not like it's even worth the time

But still, you know, you wanted more

Okay, so nothing's changed...

...heard that before

You wanna laugh, it's too absurd

You start to ask, can't hear a word

You wanna crash and burn...

...right, tell me more

You start to cave, you start to cry

You try to run, nowhere to hide

You want to crumble up and close that door

So, head high, Herr Stiefel. And do let me hear from you soon. In the meantime, I am unchangingly and most fondly yours, Fanny Gabor

Just fuck it—right? Enough, that's it

You'll still go on—well, for a bit

Another day of utter shit—

And then there were none

And then there were none...

And then there were none...

And then there were none...
