The Musical Interlude...

A slight change to the musical post today, which might crop up every so often as I think of an example...

Some of my favourite lyrics - Today, the start of Meat Loaf's "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)" - a dialogue between a man (blue text) and a woman (pink):

On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Will he offer me his mouth?
Yes.
Will he offer me his teeth?
Yes.
Will he offer me his jaws?
Yes.
Will he offer me his hunger?
(Yes).
Again... will he offer me his hunger?
Yes!
And will he starve without me?
Yes!
And does he love me?
(Yes).
(Yes).
On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Yes.
I bet you say that to all the boys!
